Just wondering, how hard would it be to create an extra channel for trending? So you can use the bb client to send "numbers" to the hobbit server together with some extra control information.
bb <bb server> trends <server name> <rrd file name> <ds name> <number> <options>
It's a bad idea, because you hook the underlying data storage format into the protocol.
You can always add something like that :
hobbitd_channel --channel=status --log=/var/log/hobbit/rrd-customengine-status.log hobbitd_rrdcustomengine --rrddir=/usr/local/hobbit/data/rrd hobbitd_channel --channel=data --log=/var/log/hobbit/rrd-customengine-data.log hobbitd_rrdcustomengine --rrddir=/usr/local/hobbit/data/rrd
It's up to the reader to write the hobbitd_rrdcustomengine program (can be Perl, Shell, whatever suits you).
