Hi,

I'm trying to follow the Help -> Custom Graphs instructions as follows: I've written a script to collect data, asked hobbitclient to run it regularly. Checked that the data is arriving on the xymon server backup.notme.org.au|temp|green||1237445672|1237515673|1237517473|0|0|xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx|-1|||Y green Fri Mar 20 13:21:13 EST 2009 Temp GOOD (38 degrees) sda : 38 sdb : 36

Added this line to indicate that the numbers are absolute values, not always increasing values (default of DERIVE)... hobbitserver.cfg:NCV_temp="*:GAUGE"

Re-started the hobbit rrd processes, and eventually also re-started xymon completely.

rrdtool dump shows this: <!-- Round Robin Database Dump --><rrd> <version> 0003 </version> <step> 300 </step> <!-- Seconds --> <lastupdate> 1237515898 </lastupdate> <!-- 2009-03-20 13:24:58 EST -->

So, for some reason the values are not getting into the rrd files....

Note, I found that I previously had an entry in TEST2RRD for temp=devmon, so I have removed that and deleted all the rrd files (for temp) so that they would be re-created.

Could anyone advise what I might have done wrong/missed here?
