Welcome to Hobbit. One thing Hobbit does very differently is that all
of the status-reports are kept only in memory - writing them to disk 
is just too slow.

If you really must, you can enable the [bbstatus] task in
hobbitlaunch.cfg to get the file-based status-logs, but I really
cannot recommend doing that - and it is not necessary to do what you
want.

Have a look at the hobbitd_larrd man-page, the "Custom RRD data"
section. It should be really simple to write a Hobbit RRD extension to
pick out those two data-items and have them tracked in an RRD file.
If you cannot work it out, write again and I'll give you a hand with
it.

BTW, the script you're using - is that something you wrote yourself or
picked up from Deadcat ? I do try to make Hobbit work "out of the box"
with some of the popular extensions from Deadcat, so if this is
something that would be useful to others then I can add the graphing
of this status-message into Hobbit.
