Hobbit doesn't generate a specific column for the netstat and vmstat
data - similar to how LARRD worked if you had LARDCOMM=DATA configured
in your bf-larrd.sh script. You probably had LARRDCOMM=STATUS ...

It shouldn't break just because of switching from the BB client to the
Hobbit client. It WILL break, if you migrate your server from BB
to Hobbit - the BB vmstat data was a terrible mess with different data
layouts for each operating system, so the format of the vmstat RRD
files just isn't compatible between BB and Hobbit.

Any errors in your rrd-data.log (or larrd-data.log) file ?
