Hello,

So, I wrote a Hobbit(xymon) Script that gives the number of users accessing specific URL's which goes into the RRD database.

I now want to track the number of users accessing another URL, so I modified my hobbit script and the hobbitgraph.cfg.

However, I can't see the new data. What's the easiest way to get the new value into the RRD database?

I know I can just remove the existing database and have it re-create the database and it will start pulling the new data.

However, I want my old data from the other values in there in addition to the new one.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Don't blame me it it screws up your rrd, but I attached the script that I use. It searches a predefined directory (/home/users/hobbit/data/rrd/) for the files vmstat.rrd to add a DS. I used this to add 2 extra counters from Power5 CPU virtualisation. I changed my script so you can give the needed information as paramaters on the command line. You can download it from: http://www.docum.org/foswiki/bin/view/Xymon/AddDstoRRD
