My maint.pl lines are:

open (HOBBITDLIST, "bb ".$BBENV{'BBDISP'}."

\"hobbitdboard".$filter."\" |"); open (HOBBITDLIST, "bb ".$BBENV{'BBDISP'}." hobbitdboard |");

I have a core from hobbitd in /tmp

file tmp/core tmp/core: ELF 32-bit MSB core file SPARC Version 1, from 'hobbitd'

more hobbitd.log 2005-04-01 12:52:47 Setup complete 2005-04-01 12:52:54 Setup complete more larrd-data.log more larrd-status.log more bb-display.log

I had it stopped for about two hours while I copied history and rrd over when I stared it back up trends and now info went purple. Right now I am running on port 201984 for testing but other than that it is pretty straight forward install.

OK, I think there are two completely un-related issues here.

I re-installed RC6 to get rid of the purple trends.

The "trends" don't go purple by themselves, they go purple because the bb-larrdcolumn tool doesn't update them.

I'd like you to check for unusual messages in the /var/log/hobbit/bb-display.log file, and also for any core-files left behind from bb-larrdcolumn. They should be in the ~/server/tmp/ directory, but please check in the ~/data/rrd/ directory also.

The maint.pl lists and 'ALL' may still be a problem, it does occur in both Firefox and IE. It can be alleviated by changing views. Typically we monitor bb2.html, but if we switch to the Main view and try enable/disable, it typically works, this only occurred since RC6, I think.

The missing hosts on the maint.pl display sounds like you're still running the version of maint.pl that uses cookies to try and display only the hosts from the page you were on. This was removed in the 4.0 release precisely because it was causing problems. Could you check your maint.pl script and see if lines 432-433 look like this:

432   # open (HOBBITDLIST, "bb ".$BBENV{'BBDISP'}." \"hobbitdboard

".$filter."\" |"); 433 open (HOBBITDLIST, "bb ".$BBENV{'BBDISP'}." hobbitdboard |");

Thanks, Henrik
