Aha...! I asked this very question last week- nobody gave me help... (sob, sob..). Anyway, here are two separate chunks of data that is CAUSING the duplicate data error like Beau is having. Henrik, what in this data is considered to be "duplicate"? (I do notice that the netstat data in AIX is um... QUITE verbose........) Data segments follow. Help? @@data#810|1154529466.624163|999.888.777.202||fred.moo.mcw.edu|ifstat data fred,moo,mcw,edu.ifstat aix ------------------------------------------------------------- ETHERNET STATISTICS (ent0) :

I'm having "Internal error: Duplicate match ignored" in my

what could cause this ?

It means your netstat data doesn't look like what Hobbit expects. Basically that it found two or more values for the same piece of data. The best way of identifying which data causes this is probably to run two things at the same time: 1) login as the hobbit user, and run bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=data tee /tmp/data.log 2) Run "tail -f" on the rrd-data.log file. When you see that error message in the rrd-data.log file, terminate the first command. You should then have the "guilty" data at the end of the /tmp/data.log file. I'd obviously be interested to see what it looks like. Regards, Henrik To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk
