The man page for the hobbitd_rrd program says that it "receives "status" and
"data" messages from hobbitd via stdin, and updates the RRD databases used
to generate trend-graphs".
However, further down, it says:
"The "ncv" module will automatically detect all occurrences of a "NAME :
value" or "NAME = value" string in a *status* message, and generate an RRD
file holding all of the name/value data found in the message" (my emphasis
added).
I'm trying to get some custom NCV graphs to show up in hobbit, but I only
want them to show up in the "trends" column, and not have their own column
displayed. Mainly, this is because I will have about 8 different graphs,
and there is no need to have separate columns, since they aren't
status-generating (green/yellow/red/purple/etc) columns.
According to the "bb" manpage, the "data" keyword should do the job (as
opposed to the "status" keyword, which I have successfully used in the
past). However, the graphs aren't showing up. When I read the second quote
above, it sounds like the "data" keyword doesn't pass data to the NCV
module, which would explain why the graphs aren't showing up.
Any ideas/suggestions?
