These rae the two paths used to receive and generate rrd files

hobbitd_channel --> status --> hobbitd_rrd -> rrd files
hobbitd_channel --> data --> hobbitd_rdd --> rrd files

Use hobbitd_capture to see if are receiving any rrd data, from that
host, through either of the two channels. If you are sending it
through status then
look under status channel and so on and so forth.
