[hobbit] Representing disk data for graphing

[Hubbard, Greg L]

Yes, the "&color" now counts as a token, so any grep/awk/sed (or
equivalent) is going to be off by one.  Is this information included in
the overall data blast from the Hobbit client?  If so, you might
consider tacking the colors at the END of each line and see if the
Hobbit parser starts working again.

For reference, here is something from a Solaris system:

Wed Oct 11 12:19:50 CDT 2006 - Filesystems OK
Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
swap                 18665136  107640 18557496     1%    /tmp
/dev/vx/dsk/rootvol  9210413 1561203 7557106    18%    /
/dev/vx/dsk/var      8263373 1775692 6405048    22%    /var
/dev/vx/dsk/opt2     34291077 2384649 31563518     8%    /opt2
/dev/vx/dsk/home     1021735  614185  346246    64%    /export/home

Notice that the filesystem is token 1, the usage is token 2, and
available space is token 3, etc., etc.

These are just ideas.  I've written 7 or 8 custom tests of my own with
my own RRD parsing at the end, so I quickly became acquainted with the
need for agreement between the "pitcher" and the "catcher".

I verified that the routine parsing the data for the graphs is picking
the third token on the first line.  I changed the first line to look
like the Unix equivalent (the date format, etc) and it is consistently
picking the third item.

The '2006' is becoming the name of the data point and the value being
graphed is zero.

I'm just sending the data (there is no back end routine or extra script
involved), I'm letting Hobbit to the parsing.

Adding the icon (I do use &color, when I cut and pasted it from Firefox
'green' came out) is messing up the parsing such that no graph data is
produced.
