[hobbit] Clarification: Change graphing on Trends link
Ralph,
I gave your suggestion a shot today, and just when I think I am making progress learning Linux, I get slapped in the face. I found the hobbitgraph.c and made the changes as you outlined below. I then went to the parent directory (hobbit-4.1.2p1) and ran make, but it errored out with error:2. I checked the mod date on the hobbitgraph.cgi file and it was still set to the date that I originally compiled the program. I am running Hobbit on FC4. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave

I don't know if that could be done in a config file, but it certainly can be done by altering the source. Take a look at hobbitd/hobbitgraph.c. Near the top there's a bunch of defines that tell rrdtool how to select the data:
#define HOUR_GRAPH "e-48h" #define DAY_GRAPH "e-12d" #define WEEK_GRAPH "e-48d" #define MONTH_GRAPH "e-576d"
"e-48h" means "end-of-data minus 48 hours", which is the start of the range, the end of the range being the end of the data. Change those numbers to whatever suits you best - i.e. e-24h, e-7d, e-30d & e-365d.
You'll also want to look further down for blocks like this:
if (strcmp(val, "hourly") == 0) { period = HOUR_GRAPH; persecs = 48*60*60; gtype = strdup(val); glegend = "Last 48 Hours"; }and fix those up. I guess that would be:
persecs = 24*60*60;and glegend = "Last 24 Hours";
for the 24 hour graph. Similarly for DAY_GRAPH, WEEK_GRAPH & MONTH_GRAPH. Go back up to the main source directory and re-run make, then copy hobbitd/hobbitgraph.cgi over to hobbit's server/bin directory.
Seems to work fine for me - I might even keep it like this... :)

I should have been a clearer in my post here. When clicking on the graph in the Trends page, is there a way to change the
default historical times?
Instead of 48 hrs, 12 days, 48 days, and 576 days, can the graphs be set to 24 hrs, 7 days, 30 days, 365 days?
Thanks,
Dave

Hmmm. All I can think of is that I made the changes in the original tree that I installed hobbit from, just a few weeks ago. I'd already done all the configuration steps and installed a working hobbit server from that tree, then went back and made the graph changes, then re-ran make.
Were you working from a just-unpacked hobbit tree?? That might account for your problem. Other than that, I don't know why it would be different. I'm working from 4.1.2p1 too.

Being the newb that I am, I think I just realized what I might have done wrong. I created a hobbit account and ran the installation configure and make as hobbit, make install under su. But I have been logging in as root on the system so that I could edit the config files and scripts. Maybe that is why the make failed? I was working from the same tree.

That's possible. You might have a file now owned by root that make can't update. Personally, I created the hobbit userid, went through the entire installation process as root, then set up a startup script that su's to hobbit to start the server.

That was it! Thanks for the help.
