I was looking through the hobbitgraph.cfg file and found that there is now an LA1 test -- is there any way to make the hobbit cpu test go off of this rather than the load.

Will include an option for this soon. I think it makes more sense now to base the "cpu" test off the vmstat data than the load average. (The "la1" test is a simple graph of the non-idle CPU time percentage, as reported by vmstat).

Also, what is the la-multi test, and how can I get it to show up?

The la-multi graph - as well as the other *-multi graphs - are for comparing a single graph on multiple hosts. There's currently no front- end to build the URL's needed for the graphs, but you can do it by hand:

1. Find the base graph you want, e.g. the cpu "load average" graph for one of your hosts.
2. In your browser, right-click the graph and select "view image" or "open image". You now have a view of your load graph only.
3. In the adress bar field you'll see the URL for this image. E.g. http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=voodoo.hswn.dk&service=la&... Now, you can add more hosts after the "host=..." part of the URL - just list all of your hosts separated by commas. Like http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=voodoo.hswn.dk,fenris.hswn...

Voila - one graph with the load of two hosts. Note that this only works for some graphs (basically, those that it makes sense to compare); e.g. you cannot compare the disk utilisation for two hosts.
