Hobbit currently does not handle vmstat data coming from IRIX systems.
Indeed, on my former BB install, I hacked the bf-vmstat.sh script a little and made it use "sar" to report data to be processed like vmstat data from other hosts.
The bf-vmstat.sh script I use is:
#!/bin/sh
$Id: vmstat-bf.sh,v 1.1 2000/11/30 20:29:44 scott Exp $
vmstat-bf.sh
variable definitions
MET=vmstat VMSTAT=/usr/bin/sar OUT=$BBHOME/tmp/$MET.$$
#################
COLLECT
#################
vmstat
echo "$BBOSTYPE" > $OUT
get the data
$VMSTAT 300 2 | $TAIL -1 >> $OUT
##################
REPORT
##################
if [ $LARRDCOMM = DATA ]
then
$BB $BBDISP "data ${MACHINE}.$MET
$CAT $OUT"
else
$BB $BBDISP "status ${MACHINE}.$MET green date <$MET>
$CAT $OUT"
fi
rm $OUT
/usr/bin/sar xx 2 output looks like that:
bb at rhea:~/ext/bf-larrd> /usr/bin/sar 10 2
IRIX64 rhea 6.5 10070055 IP27 05/20/05
11:44:00 %usr %sys %intr %wio %idle %sbrk %wfs %wswp %wphy %wgsw %wfif 11:44:10 51 2 0 0 47 0 100 0 0 0 0 11:44:20 52 3 0 0 45 0 0 0 0 0 0 Average 52 2 0 0 46 0 167 0 0 0 0
The vmstat-larrd.pl entry I use is:
irix => { cpu_usr => 1,
cpu_sys => 2,
cpu_int => 3,
cpu_w => 4,
cpu_idl => 5,
},How could I hack hobbit so that it may be able to deal with this ?
PS : I have similar hacks for the Super-UX OS run by NEC supercomputers (I run BB clients on both of these)

Something like the attached patch should do it (I think it applies to 4.03rc2). It assumes your IRIX hosts have a BBOSTYPE that begins with "irix".
I have changed the RRD definition from yours - the "cpu_w" dataset is normally called "cpu_wait", and I've added a "cpu_csw" dataset because that will allow you to use the vmstat3 graph definition un-modified. That means your current vmstat RRD files from IRIX will not be usable with Hobbit, as is the case with most of the vmstat RRD's.

Yes, that's it. Indeed I never bothered trying to find whether vmstat could be used on IRIX..:-)
I'll probably wait for official releases...if you plan to include this (not sure as this may be considered somewhat specific to my setup).
In fact, I have decided to stay with official Hobbit releases on the server, now...and just use the Debian packages you provide (and, yes, I remember I said I would look at it...:-)).

I've included it in 4.0.3, but with a warning that it may change. If vmstat does work on IRIX, I'd prefer to use those data since they are probably a bit more detailed than what you get from sar.
It would also be nice if you could show me what the "netstat -s" output looks like - then Hobbit would be able to track these data as well for IRIX.

I know how you feel ...
