I have a custom script to generate tablespace information, and I want to graph the % utilization to spot trends.

The first part with all the "DS:..." defs look OK, but the last line is wrong.
Right after all the "DS:.." lines you must output the filename for the RRD file - "tablespace.rrd" or whatever suitable name you can think of.
Next goes the line with the values you've parsed. Leave out the "OUTVAL=" bit, it should ONLY be the values - nothing else.
And did you remember to setup a definition in hobbitgraph.cfg how this graph should be displayed ? Quoting my man-page:
Apart from writing the script, You must also add a section to
hobbitgraph.cfg(5) so that hobbitgraph.cgi(1)
knows how to generate the graph from the data stored in the
RRD file. To make the graphs actually show up on
the status-page and/or the "trends" page, add the
name of the new graph to the LARRDS and/or GRAPHS setting in
hobbitserver.cfg(5).Ah, before I forget, brilliant tool Henrik, thanks. You ever pop into Perth, there's a few cold ones waiting for you. :-)
Thanks, will do if I manage to get down under sometime :-)
