Ok, maybe I have gotten mixed in the name of expected corefile. I DO have a file that is called hobbitd_rrd.core. Now, it looks like it was created at the time of 'the incident'....so I thin what I am looking for. I was actually looking for something called COREFILE.
Traditionally, those files are called just "core". But it is not uncommon - especially on some Linux distributions - to redefine this so that core-files have a filename the connects them to the program they were generated by.
Ok, now I cannot seem to find the web page that showed what to do to review a corefile in tmp. Does anyone know what I should be doing to to read these files.

Now, is taking hobbitd_rrd out of the monitoring checks what I want?
Yes. You do want to run the hobbitd_rrd module, but there really is no monitoring of this module - except when it has crashed. It doesn't send in any "I am OK" message when it runs normally. So once you've noticed that it has crashed, you can remove the purple hobbitd_rrd status.
Dont I want/need it in there for a complete hobbit.....fixed, of course? I want my hobbit to be a healthy and fully funtional hobbit. I guess I am curious what went wrong and how to fix it. Maybe this has something to do with the COREFILE.....which I need to fugure out how to read so I can figure out why it crashed. Am I right here? Sounds logical.
The reason why it crashed is some programming error. What you can do to help me fix it is to pinpoint exactly where it did crash; the link above will help you get the information I need for the debugging.
