[hobbit] No Procs Graph?

[Hubbard, Greg L]

Ann,
 
The procs page will graph anything you want to count.  You enable this
with the TRACK keyword in (I think) the hobbit-clients.cfg file.  
 
For example:
 
HOST=somehost
    PROC httpd TRACK=Apache
 
Would lead to a graph showing the number of processes containing "httpd"
in their name, graphed as "Apache".
 
If you want graphs about particular processes (memory usage, CPU, etc.)
you are out of luck in this version of Hobbit, although you could
probably invent something that would read through the process listings
returned by the Hobbit clients and have them update RRD's and then set
up graph definitions.  This would be a lot of work, and might overload
the poor Hobbit server depending on how many clients you are monitoring.

	Hi Folks, 
	
	I am new to Hobbit and noticed that when you drill down to a
device's procs information, there is no graph but the magnifying glass
shows up as if a graph should be there.  I've looked through so many man
pages, wiki entries, FAQs, etc. trying to figure this out that my head
is spinning!  And when I go to the Hobbit demo site and drill down to
http://hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=voodoo.hswn.dk&SERVICE=proc
s and http://hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=sarge&SERVICE=procs,
the procs graphs don't show up there either.  So, have I been wasting my
time trying to make that graph work or is there some magical trick that
a master is willing to reveal to me? 
	
	Any/all help will be appreciated! 
	
	Thanks! 
	
	Ann
