Thanks for the pointer! It makes some sense to me. But I have the ciscocpu external script reporting its output under the cpu column, will that have any effect on what I'm trying to accomplish? I mean if I create a custom rrd script for this, will it interfere with my windows/unix hosts cpu graphs that are already being generated? Do I need to configure it to report under its own column? Here is what the status message looks like from the ciscocpu script: @@status#28646|1108591336.263764|10.10.10.22||WAN.jvbs-router.atg.com|cp u|1108593136|green||green|1108550383|0||0| status WAN,jvbs-router,atg,com.cpu green Wed Feb 16 16:02:16 CST 2005 <br>CPU 5 min average: 4% Thanks!

On a similar note, I'm trying to get the ciscocpu.pl/.sh script to also present the data to larrd. But I don't really have a clue as how to accomplish this, so if someone feels that they would like to help, let me know. I will be equally grateful for those who can provide links and or hints that can help me get this done.
Did you look at the "custom rrd data" section in the hobbitd_larrd manpage? It may be easier to do than you think. THere is no perl involved (assuming your ciscocpu script is already running on the hobbit server and displaying the data (but not the graphs)) and an example shell script is provided.
