NCV variable for custom RRD's
Hello all,
I recently added a custom test to our hobbit setup that will use the NCV format for the rrd graph. The only problem that i noticed is the option to use wildcards in the NCV_test variable to define the "default" dataset type. When i specify all the datasets in the environment variable and set them to GAUGE (wich i need for my test), it all works fine, but if i use the "*:GAUGE" in this variable the rrd is generated with datasets of the "DERIVE" type. Anyone a idea what can be wrong?
Kind regards, Ivan

The wildcard thing is only available in the 4.2 alfas or the latest snapshot. If you're using 4.1.x then it is not implemented there.

Hi Henrik, thanks for the really good work you're doing with Hobbit!
Do you think it will be possible to have an option on the content URL check to hide the URL and the output of the web page (and substitute the content with a simple OK status report) ? I mostly use the content check to control if some application server are up and running and the application is deployed correctly but in the report of the content page I see a really ugly screen (because it's badly formatted and so on) so it could be preferred to hide the result and only display an OK status if the content is good (or also a Not OK with the link if the content is wrong).

I'll go as far as to remove the actual content data from the display. Removing the URL's completely is really hard, because they show up in so many places - I actually did try and remove them, only to notice that they show up directly on the HTTP responsetime graph.
So what you can do with the latest snapshot is to put a "HIDEHTTP" tag on the host entry in bb-hosts, and this will keep all content data off the content-check status pages. But the URL's will still be visible.
Regards, Henrik
