Re: [hobbit] "ports" RRD graph not showing up

If you are trying to restrict the test to a specific host, why don't you
put the PROC command under its own HOST=whatever section?


It takes up one less line in the config file ;-)
The main reason is, all the other HOST= tags I've used worked fine, so
I don't have to create a separate HOST= section for only one or two
tests that are specific to that one host, and I can use the regex
HOST= section for all of the machines at once.

I don't think the inclusion of the HOST= tag is the problem anyway.
But, if all else fails, I'll try it on its own, just for grins.

The problem with that is, it will perform the PORT test on all of the
machines under the HOST= section the test is under.  I don't want this,
as only one of the machines actually has the ports running.  I haven't
had a problem using HOST= in this manner before, and it's described in
the "rules to select hosts" section in the manpage for
hobbit-clients.cfg

I was wondering that myself.  I'll try changing to TRACK= to be
character-based and see if that helps.
