Thanks for this but something is still not right.

I have made the change to the env variable as suggested (see extract from hobbitserver.cfg below)

NCV_pro4="DEV:GAUGE,RUN:GAUGE" TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tc p,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apache,bind,sen dmail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy ,hobbitd,pro4=ncv"

This defines which RRD files to include on the "trends" column

webpage,

and the order in which they appear.

GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,tcp.http,tcp,nets tat,mrtg::1,temperature,ntpstat,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,iis health,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,pro4,ncv"

I removed the existing rrd file then restarted hobbit (did a stop, wait 10 seconds then start).

I waited for the client tos end data and checked that an RRD file was generated. The rrd file still only has one of the columns (DEV - see below).

Is there perhaps something wrong with my collected data:

Cheers and thanks

Phil

I have modified hobbitserver.cfg with the following:

NCV_pro4="GAUGE"

This one is wrong, is thould be NCV_pro4="DEV:GAUGE,RUN:GAUGE" You must restart Hobbit after this change, and you should also delete any "pro4.rrd" files below the hobbit data/rrd/ directory to make sure they get re-created with the correct setting.

GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,tcp.http,tcp,ne ts tat,mrtg::1,temperature,ntpstat,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,i is health,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,pro4"

And this one is missing the "ncv" item. Just add it somewhere.

I am having real trouble determining how to debug this further.

Have a look at http://www.hswn.dk/~henrik/howtograph.txt . This document will be part of the Hobbit documentation soon.
