I got it working, it was the hobbitlaunch.cfg

When I added the variable I did this:

    ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

    NEEDS hobbitd

    CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=data --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/rrd-data.log

hobbitd_rrd

                          --extra-tests=zonestat

--extra-script=/home/hobbit/server/ext/rrd_data.pl

                           --rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd

Hobbit doesn't seem to like the extra-tests and extra-script on multiple lines. When I placed everything on a single line, I started getting rrd data from zonestat.

    ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

    NEEDS hobbitd

    CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=data --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/rrd-data.log

hobbitd_rrd --extra-tests=zonestat --extra-script=/home/hobbit/server/ext/rrd_data.pl --rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd

I also didn't see the graphs in the Trends table until I added the following to bb-hosts. This was in another posting.

TRENDS:*,zonestat:zonestatcpu|zonestatmem|zonestatnproc|zonestatsize|zonerss size

The instructions for zonestat say to just add: zonestat:zonestatcpu|zonestatmem|zonestatnproc|zonestatsize|zonersssize

to the bbhosts file.

Has anyone added the zones as separate tests on the main menu (status vs data)?

Thanks..James

I'm trying to get zonestat working with Hobbit which I downloaded

from the Shire. However, I'm not getting anything when I run it.

I did a debug of the client script, and its sending information, but on

the hobbit server, I get the following errors.

2009-07-23 15:36:44 No command to pass data to

2009-07-23 15:36:44 Task rrddata terminated, status 1

2009-07-23 15:36:49 No command to pass data to

2009-07-23 15:36:49 Task rrddata terminated, status 1

I saw a couple postings with similar errors, but no fix action for

it. Anyone else using this or had similar problems?

What's everyone else doing to monitor zones? I need to know

how much cpu and memory each zone is using.

Thanks.James
