I only see options to create metrics reports for CPU, Disk, RAM, and Ping. Is it possible to make metrics reports for other defined services as well?
Ones I would be interested in are:
- Clock offset
- Network Traffic
- Processes (including TRACKed procs)
- Any custom NCV graphs
I guess I was expecting to be able to do a multi-host metric comparison of any available graphs.

It is, but right now it can be rather tricky to get the hobbitgraph definitions correct for it to work.
The list of graphs that you can generate metrics for is customizable; it is in the ~hobbit/server/web/hostgraphs_form webpage template. The option values there correspond to items in the hobbitgraphs.cfg configuration, but must be "multi" graph definitions.

Hmm there don't seem to be many "multi" graphs: ]$ grep multi] hobbitgraph.cfg [la-multi] [la1-multi] [ram-multi] [swap-multi] [mem-multi] [users-multi] [conn-multi] [netstat3-multi] [apache3-multi]
Is there a procedure for creating "multi" versions of non-multi graphs?
Thanks, -Charles

I made several of them for our environment, both from the default Hobbit provided tests (apache %CPU) and from our custom NCV data (mysql queries/sec, memcached %hits, etc), simply by copying one of the multi graph defs and adjusting the variable extracted from the appropriate rrd file. I've found that the multi graphs only work when you are graphing one variable per host, so you can't do something like RAM & Swap for 2 hosts in a single chart.
For example, this def should allow you to see the %CPU apache is consuming on your web servers, if you are using the apache test in bb-hosts. Hope it helps.
