[hobbit] Creating Custom Graphs

[EyalRi at Clal-Ins.co.il]

Hi,

I have noticed that I am getting the info of iostat throw hobbitd daemon.

The data isn't received throw "hobbitd_channel --channel=status" or "hobbitd_channel --channel=data" - which can explain why I am not getting the rrd graphs.

I am just using "data" or "status" in the header of my message to hobbit server.
how can I send data to the data or status channel ?


Regards,

I assume you are wanting to have these rrd files generated by the ncv handler, 
in which case you also need to:

-add ncv to GRAPHS (so GRAPHS should include both iostat and ncv)
-add "iostat=ncv" to TEST2RRD (instead of just "iostat")
-add a line that looks something like this:
ncv_iostat="c0d0p7-rps:GAUGE,c0d0p7-wps:GAUGE,c0d0p1-rps:GAUGE,c0d0p1-wps:GAUGE,c0d0p10-rps:GAUGE,c0d0p10-wps:GAUGE

in hobbitserver.cfg
