color=#0000ff size=2>But there is more to graphing than simply creating the RRD
files. Next you have to create graph definitions that will use your new
files, and these graphs have to work. Then you can add your new graphs to
the Hobbit server so they will show up with the associated test (TEST2RRD
variable) and/or in the trends display.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>You say you see the data being echoed -- are the RRD files
not getting created/updated? Did you add your rrd-ext to the right place
on the server? Did you add it to hobbit-rrd for both data and status
messages?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

rrdcreate and rrdtool update to directly output the data to the rrd files
?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
