[hobbit] RRDs created, never updated

[Jeremy Cappilero]

Hi Rich,

Thank you for your quick response.

I am using hobbit-4.2.0.

I have no red alerts.

Green: bbd,bbgen,bbtest,conn,cpu,disk,hobbitd,http,info,memory,msgs*,trends
Grey: files,ports,procs

Note I did have to make /var/log/messages 660 and root.hobbit for it to be
read.

I get nothing in the logs.  After deleting all logs, and stopping and
starting hobbit, and waiting 20 minutes, I get this:
