Hi Lars,

seems you have really good luck with my test versions today :-)

Ok, must admit I have never tested hobbitd_filestore with the RRD
graphs running remotely (I don't use that module myself).

The problem appears to be that the code which generates the links
to the graph on the status page believe that the graphs are located
on another server, so it generates a request to the new "locator"
module to figure out where the graph is. Problem is, the locator
module was never initialised, so hobbitd_filestore has no idea where
the locator is - it doesn't know the IP+portnumber of the locator
service.

What commandline were you using to launch the hobbitd_filestore
program ?

I think the attached patch should fix it, if you use the right
commandline to start hobbitd_filestore. I.e. you must add the
"--locator=IP:PORTNUMBER" (probably the IP of your Xymon server,
and port 1984) to the hobbitd_filestore command.


Regards,
Henrik
