What RRD files do you have in the ~hobbit/server/data/rrd/HOSTNAME/ directory ?
Don't you think the @RRDFN@ should be requests instead of "requests" or "total requests:"
Nope - at the point where hobbitgraph.cfg gets involved, it doesn't look at the original status message any more.

OK, so you have a mailq.rrd now, and it appears to be updating like the other RRD files. So I'd expect this to begin picking up data from your nmailq-bf script now after you did the change to the LARRD setting - after a while you should have enough data to form a graph.
Regards, Henrik
I'm having a similar problem with getting the correct data showing in the graph. I do get the graph displayed but the data is incorrect. It always shows 2005 which looks like it's picking up part of the date field.
I can't find a copy of the nmailq script on deadcat so not sure what format the data is supposed to be in. What does hobbit expect to see for graphing on mailq? I just a have a script that sends the output of mailq i.e.
Total requests: xx
Is this OK?

The nmailq-bf.sh script is part of the LARRD 0.43c package on deadcat. It assumes that it gets a line of the form
<some random text> 182 requestsSince I stopped using sendmail several years ago, I don't know what the mailq output format is today.

Could you try this patch for the "mailq" parser ? It changes the way Hobbit looks for the queue-size number so that it looks for a line with the word "requests", and the grabs the queue-size from any number on that line, whether before or after the "requests" keyword.
Regards, Henrik
I've finally installed the patch (public holiday yesterday) but still get no graph. I've run the debugging as you suggested for the other user having a similar problem and I get the same output from the nmailq script as them i.e. Total requests: 99
I did notice on the empty graph that did display that the label for the graph shows 'Queue Length @RRDPARAM@'.

In setting up the sendmail graphs, I found that some fields introduced in later sendmail versions were not displayed.
The attached patch to do_sendmail.c will allow the extra field introduced in sendmail 8.13.x to be graphed. It should also work with most earlier versions of sendmail back to at least 8.9.x (if you're running a version that old, it's time to upgrade!)
As we only run 8.13.x in production, I haven't been able to test much the changes with prior versions of sendmail other than a quick test with 8.11.x.

This ended up causing some major changes to the way Hobbit handles RRD files, but I think it has improved.
Hobbit will now auto-detect what datasets are in an existing RRD file, and use this to select what data to update the RRD-file with. So if you have an existing RRD file without the new field, it will continue to use that format (and you dont get the new field data tracked). If Hobbit creates a new RRD file it will include the new field, and track data for it.
So it should work for all Sendmail versions, and remain compatible with the existing RRD's.
