Jeremy,

Try adding another column to one of the tests:

Humidity : 21.0

Test : 19.0

I had a problem where I was feeding in four values,

the fourth one would never appear in the rrd file.

I figure out that it needed a newline when I sent the status

message:

cat $line

"

I just put the quote on the line below the cat. When I had it

on the same line: cat $line" , it didn't read in the fourth value.

I'm just wondering if because you only have one value, the

new line isn't sent and so it's not creating an rrd file. By

adding a value below Humidity or Test, you could check for it.

The other thing I did when I created my test was to restart

Hobbit Server.

I'm obviously missing something here.

I have an external test that creates columns Humidity and Temperature as follows:

Fri Feb 1 11:01:39 GMT 2008

Humidity : 21.0

and

Fri Feb 1 11:01:39 GMT 2008

Temperature : 24.7

I have added the columns in hobbitserver.cfg

TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp,di g=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apache,bind,sendmail,ma ilq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,fil es,procs=processes,ports,clock,lines,Temperature=ncv,Humidity=ncv"

GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,files,processes,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,tcp.h ttp,tcp,ncv,netstat,ifstat,mrtg::1,ports,temperature,ntpstat,apache,bind,sen dmail,mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,clock,li nes,Temperature,Humidity"

NCV_Temperature="Temperature:GAUGE"

NCV_Humidity="Humidity:GAUGE"

I did wonder if it was the decimal point so I took it out but that didn't make any difference.

The rrd files aren't being created.

What have I missed?
