[hobbit] Writing my own Scripts with RRD

[James Wade]

I've got iostat working and graphing NFS and Disk mounts
using the old larrd iostat graph, but I've made changes
to include NFS mounts.

So, if I write my own script, and don't use the NCV, can
I use the old laard format?

ENDDATA

If so, what changes to I need to make.

I have another question, I'm working with the hobbitgraph.cfg. I have
systems that have a load of NFS mounts, and the graph information gets
long. However, they may have no busy or wait times, and the data is
NaN. Is there a way in hobbitgraph.cfg to say don't list the filesystem
if there is no data. I can eliminate the graph part by using the
GT variable, but I want the system not to be listed if the data is 0.

Thanks....James

Following the Help->Custom Graphs doc does work. I have a number of checks 
that use the ncv method.

It may help to tell us what you have done so far, and possibly the output of

your test.
