}The constraints are in the rrdcreate doc :
}http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/doc/rrdcreate.en.html
}
}There is a debug option (--debug) to most hobbit programs, so you can
}add this flag in hobbitlaunch.cfg and see if you get more infos
}about the rrdcreate.
}
}In the hobbitd/do_rrd.c, you can find the error message at this line =
}(around line 143 in my snaphsot):
}errprintf("RRD error creating %s: %s\n", filedir, rrd_get_error());
}
}The error comes from the rrd_create two lines above.
}
}And the "if (debug)" block beginning at line 128 shows the rrdcreate
}parameters
}
}Hope this'll help.

I think it was helpful.  With the above check:

I'm still misunderstanding something.  It seems to be running everything
together, rather than caring about line breaks.

Thanks!
