[hobbit] Graphs are missing data, but it's there!

[Phil Wild]

Are you saying that you run the same tests on multiple hosts and only one
host in not showing data? Does this mean they all share the same NCV
configuration in hobberserver.cfg and the same graph definition in
hobbitgraph.cfg?

If this is correct, then it really points to something not getting into the
rrd file. As previously suggested, rrd dump is your best bet at finding the
problem here. What if you remove the rrd file and let hobbit create a new
one, does that help?

Cheers

Phil
