I installed the Hobbit system just a few months ago and it has worked
great..... until I upgraded rrdtool to 1.3.0
rrdtool --version
RRDtool 1.3.0 Copyright 1997-2008 by Tobias Oetiker
Compiled Jul 11 2008 11:22:35
Immediately all my MRTG and hobbit graphs lost all the text
information. I recompiled and reinstalled rrdtool (because I
figured that some libraries had been upgraded at the same time but in
the wrong order) and the MRTG graphs now display the correct
information.
However, the Hobbit graphs are still missing the text information (on
the same server).
For example see here
http://iwr.ru.ac.za/hobbit-cgi/bb-
hostsvc.sh?HOST=lergy.iwr.ru.ac.za&SERVICE=disk
As an aside, I have got Hobbit to speak to me. My alert rules
specify an external script which uses 'espeak' to do text to speach
processing. Since the main server is right next to me and just
happened to have sound hardware, it now speaks out a short message
when Hobbit detects a problem. I can get the details from the email.
I read somewhere that rrdtool 1.3.0.1 will be out soon to address
some issues, but in the meantime I get the feeling that somethingin
the interface has changed and maybe Hobbit needs little tweaking.
I'm running all this on FreeBSD 7.0 Release, and have loaded all the
software via the ports system.
