Hello Hobbit lovers. I'm hoping someone can help me with this dilemma I'm facing. I created these settings and the script to count the number of connections to a specific IP.PORT from a few machines. The status comes correctly into Hobbit and it does go to the warning and critical levels if they are exceeded and the monitor works quite well. What isn't working is the RRD graph. On one hand it seems the rrd file is not being generated although Hobbit does link to a graph in the status page. But no graph is displayed and clicking on the hobbit graph rb-conn link gives four magnifying glasess and hourly, daily etc lines. But again, no graphs. On the other if I use the NCV feature hobbit does generate the RRD but not only links it wrong in the web-gui but also writes the information wrong into it. The Output from the RRD file <!-- Round Robin Database Dump --> <rrd> <version> 0001 </version> <step> 300 </step> <!-- Seconds --> <lastupdate> 1165934698 </lastupdate> <!-- 2006-12-12 14:44:58 CUT --> <ds> <name> Heildartegngingarfr </name> <type> DERIVE </type> <minimal_heartbeat> 600 </minimal_heartbeat> <min> 0.0000000000e+00 </min> <max> NaN </max> <!-- PDP Status --> <last_ds> 8 </last_ds> <value> 1.9800664452e+00 </value> <unknown_sec> 0 </unknown_sec> </ds> Can anyone help me please, I've banged my head against my desk for a couple of days now but still nothing happens. I must be missing something which I have not been able to find on this mailing list or anywhere else. Am I doing this all wrong? Should I be using the --extra-scripts option for hobbitd_rrd or just the NCV or should I skip both and kick the Hobbit!? Below are all the settings I have for this.
