[hobbit] custom rrd data graph

Your GRAPHS setting should not have =ncv, only TEST2RRD should. In other words, it should be like this: GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,files,processes,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,tcp.http,tcp,ncv,netstat,ifstat,mrtg::1,ports,temperature,ntpstat,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,clock,lines,pcpuIdle"

The rest looks fine. Of course make sure you define a [pcpuIdle] section in hobbitgraph.cfg as well. I believe you also have to restart Hobbit after any changes to hobbitserver.cfg.

I don't quite follow Charles. Here's the relevant lines from my hobbitserver.cfg file:

TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,files,procs=processes,ports,clock,lines,pcpuIdle=ncv"

GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,files,processes,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,tcp.http,tcp,ncv,netstat,ifstat,mrtg::1,ports,temperature,ntpstat,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,clock,lines,pcpuIdle=ncv"

NCV_pcpuIdle="pcpuIdle:GAUGE"

The message I'm sending from the client is a data message, not a status message. This is what's coming from my client via an ext script running every 5 minutes:

$BB $BBDISP "data $MACHINE.pcpu cat /tmp/pcpu.txt " Sage

The problem comes from that your setup should read as :

TEST2RRD="$TEST2RRD,pcpu=ncv"
                    ^-- match the name of the status
NCV_pcpu="pcpu_idle:GAUGE"
    ^-- same thing here
