For what it's worth, I've got the bb-sar module collecting data and have just managed to hack the sar-grapher.cgi to kinda generate graphs. My thanks to Alon Ofek for his detailed message on 24 Nov 2005 on getting the collection to work -- but he left the graphing side just a bit less well covered.
Having said the above -- this is fugly!
If I get some time, I'll be converting the collecting side to the hobbit philosophy of os-neutral data in one sar rrd and move the graphing into hobbitgraph.
I needed this because we've had a critical system crash 4 times since last November on an error 23 -- too many files open in system. As near as IBM can tell, the real problem was inode cache depletion, so I'm graphing the inode data.

I'll need to graph some sar I/O stats.
There's no built-in module to collect sar data in any Hobbit version.
Which version of hobbit would be the best ? 4.0 ? 4.1.2rc ?
The current production release is 4.1.2p1. The current beta-release is 4.2-beta-20060605, with patches available at http://www.hswn.dk/hobbitsw/betapatches/.
I'd like to have some autonomous system, including messages files
scanning without getting some BB executables.
For logfile monitoring you will need to use the current beta-release. The 4.1.x version does not support log monitoring.
