color=#0000ff size=2>I do a similar thing with our Citrix servers, where I have
a "Farm" host to hold a summary of the total number of connections across all
servers.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=927402620-06112007><FONT face=Tahoma
color=#0000ff size=2>I do this by running a script from hobbitlaunch on the
server, and summing up the results of the individual Citrix servers using
hobbitdboard. After parsing the results, I send a single message for the
"Farm" host in the same format as the individual host messages and Hobbit
magically makes the graph for me :-)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

which make it work. I hope they may help you in making a similar script
for a postfix farm.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

client<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am a newbie to Hobbit and have inherited a working
system. I have a good idea of how it all hangs together but now I want to
produce certain graphs and cannot figure out how.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a cluster of mail servers that run Postfix;
each of these clients is monitored within Hobbit. In the Trends link for each
client I have graphs showing the various mail queues (incoming, deferred etc)
and this data is stored in RRD files on the Hobbit server.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there a way within Hobbit of creating a false or
meta- client that can have a graph with data from all of these RRD files?
Particularly I would like a graph that has all the incoming mail queue sizes on
it with one line per server. I already have this information in lots of
different RRD files but would like to have them all in one graph. I can create a
graph outside of Hobbit to do this, but within the monitoring system it
restricts the RRD files it will display data from to those in the data directory
of the selected client (in the Trends link).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have tried creating a new client in the data files
ans symbolically linking the other RRD files into its data directory, but cannot
persude the graphs to appear in the trends web page.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for your time,</FONT> </P>
