[hobbit] Representing disk data for graphing

[Hubbard, Greg L]

Notice that the third (3rd) token in the first line of the message is
"2006".  The amount of disk space that is used is also the third token
on each usage line.  I suspect that the parsing script is getting
fooled.  Is this your own script?  If so, you should use &green (or
&yellow and &red) and Hobbit will replace it with a proper status "dot."

I'm interested in changing the way that I report disk utilization for
mainframe based operating systems (VM and VSE) so that it can be graphed
by RRD.  The basic message format seems right, but the graph is not
coming out properly.  Here is the message text:

  11 Oct 2006 07:45:23 Disk/SFS Utilization OK

green /VMSYSU/group3  71896          0      71896   0.0%   /SFS/VMSYSU

The 'green' indicator on the left is a green icon put there to easily
spot an offender.  Is that messing up the parsing of the message for
graphing purposes?  Or is it possibly the decimal points in the
percentages?

The graph is coming up with a single data point called 2006.
