All,
I installed Hobbit a few weeks ago and it running fine. Someone in upper management happened to see Hobbit in action and now wants more. He uses nothing but Excel and therefore wants the raw Hobbit data so he can play with spreadsheets all day long. My question is where can I find the raw data that Hobbit uses to create it's graphs? Namely the "trends" graph for "cpu Utilization". I've looked at the data/hist/hostname/ files, but it doesn't look like they're used for graph generation.
TIA

Maybe you can point him to the Availability reports (where he can generate a spreadsheet) to keep him occupied ...

The trend graphs are generated from the rrd files, in data/rrd. You can use 'rrdtool dump ...' to extract the data to xml (and maybe he can import that into a spreadsheet). The various rrdtool man pages ('man rrdtutorial' may be a good start) are worth consulting.
