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/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".
