The actual la graph is probably interfering with this since it is also related to the tag 'cpu'. Try changing it to cpuutil or something like that. You'll have to change hobbitserver and hobbitgraph accordingly.

I have that as well, but according to the docs, I whould have an RRD file that is created. I don't have that yet.

You alsa need an entry in hobbitgraph.cfg like this extract from mine. Use fwcpu instead of mailbox and cpu instead of hobbit

[mailbox] TITLE Mailbox size YAXIS bytes DEF:size=mailbox.rrd:hobbit:AVERAGE LINE2:size#00CCCC:Hobbit size GPRINT:size:LAST:Hobbit size \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:size:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:size:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:size:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n

I cannot get the RRD file to be created.

I have a script that polls a firewall via SNMP and returns the CPU usage. The test works fine and creates a column named "fwcpu".

bb 127.0.0.1 "status firewall.fwcpu green $now_string \n\ncpu : $cpu"

The output is as follows.

Tue Mar 20 23:47:22 2007

cpu : 10

I modified TEST2RRD to the following. TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,files,procs=processes,ports,clock,lines,fwcpu=ncv"

I also added... NCV_fwcpu="cpu:GAUGE"

Shut down hobbit and made sure that the hobbitd_rrd processes were gone. restarted it and I get nothing in the RRD folder for the device. I _DO_ get "hobbit graph ncv:fwcpu" showing up in my test pages.

That got my RRD's working, and from there, I got the graphs going. Thanks, guys!

Try adding an extra "\n" at the end of your output: bb 127.0.0.1 "status firewall.fwcpu green $now_string \n\ncpu : $cpu\n"

That should do the trick

HTH, Paul
