External scripts help

[Vernon Everett]

Hi all

What am I doing wrong here.
I have a custom script to generate tablespace information, and I want to
graph the % utilization to spot trends.

My data looks like this, and displays nicely on Hobbit. 
Ah, before I forget, brilliant tool Henrik, thanks.
You ever pop into Perth, there's a few cold ones waiting for you. :-)

Anyway, back to my data.
It looks like this.

I have a script, which chops it up, and returns this
---snip---
DS:siebprod.XDB:GAUGE:600:0:100
DS:siebprod.WHS_INDEX:GAUGE:600:0:100
DS:siebprod.WHS_DATA:GAUGE:600:0:100
DS:siebprod.USERS:GAUGE:600:0:100
DS:siebprod.UNDOTBS1:GAUGE:600:0:100
DS:siebprod.TOOLS:GAUGE:600:0:100
DS:siebprod.SYSTEM:GAUGE:600:0:100
DS:siebprod.SIEB_INDEX:GAUGE:600:0:100
DS:siebprod.SIEB_DATA:GAUGE:600:0:100
DS:siebprod.LOADER_DATA:GAUGE:600:0:100
OUTVAL=0:71:78:1:27:66:69:81:84:0
---snip---
Which seems in line with the temperature example in the man pages.
It also runs every few minutes.

Problems.
1. Still no graph appears on the page
2. No data is being written to the /var/lib/hobbit/rrd/<hostname>/*.rrd
(well, not from my script anyway.)

What have I missed?

Any other info you might need.
Client OS			:	Solaris
Client monitor app	:	BigBrother (until further notice)
Display server OS		:	Mandrake Linux
Display monitor app	:	Hobbit (of course)

Cheers
    Vernon

P.S. Here's my script 
---snip---
HOSTNAME="$1"
TESTNAME="$2"
FNAME="$3"
if [ "$TESTNAME" = "ora9-sga" ]
then
    echo $TESTNAME > /tmp/testnames # test stub remove later
    cp $FNAME /tmp/ora9-sga.file
    OUTVAL=""
    cat $FNAME | grep  "Tablespace" | grep -v "=====" | awk '{ print $3
" " $8 }'|\
       sed "s/<B>//g" | sed "s/%<\/B>//g" | sed "s/:/\./g" >
/tmp/stripped
       while read TABLESPACE VAL
       do
          [ -n "$OUTVAL" ] && OUTVAL="$OUTVAL:"
          echo "DS:$TABLESPACE:GAUGE:600:0:100"
          echo "DS:$TABLESPACE:GAUGE:600:0:100"  >> /tmp/newtest.out #
test stub remove later
          OUTVAL=$OUTVAL$VAL
       done < /tmp/stripped
    rm /tmp/stripped
    echo "tablespace.rrd"
    echo "$OUTVAL"
    echo "OUTVAL=$OUTVAL" >> /tmp/newtest.out  # test stub remove later
fi
exit 0
