[hobbit] trends columns all turned purple

[Deal, Richard]

Ok I found the problem to maint.pl
It is hardcoded to use the default bb port of 1984
I changed line 433 from:
 open (HOBBITDLIST, "bb ".$BBENV{'BBDISP'}." hobbitdboard |");
to :
 open (HOBBITDLIST, "bb ".$BBENV{'BBDISP'}.":".$BBENV{'BBPORT'}."
hobbitdboard |");

and now it works.

OK, I think there are two completely un-related issues here.

The "trends" don't go purple by themselves, they go purple because the
bb-larrdcolumn tool doesn't update them.

I'd like you to check for unusual messages in the
/var/log/hobbit/bb-display.log file, and also for any core-files left
behind from bb-larrdcolumn. They should be in the ~/server/tmp/
directory, but please check in the ~/data/rrd/ directory also.

The missing hosts on the maint.pl display sounds like you're still
running the version of maint.pl that uses cookies to try and display
only the hosts from the page you were on. This was removed in the 4.0
release precisely because it was causing problems. Could you check
your maint.pl script and see if lines 432-433 look like this:

    432   # open (HOBBITDLIST, "bb ".$BBENV{'BBDISP'}." \"hobbitdboard
".$filter."\" |");
    433   open (HOBBITDLIST, "bb ".$BBENV{'BBDISP'}." hobbitdboard |");


Thanks,
Henrik
