Hobbit Graphs

[Mark Nazzaro <mark.nazzaro (at) db.com>]

All,
I have been working on setting up graphs in Hobbit for router cpu 
utilization. I am retrieving the data from a MS SQL Server database and 
then sending it along to hobbit directly to the TCP port. The messages are 
in the following format:

inerrors:39
outerrors:61
mbps:4.125
percentutil:47.214

For certain devices, it will create a graph while others it doesn't work. 
I have three devices, and only one works. However, the data is sent 
exactly the same way for all three. Also, I can't figure out how to create 
the graph so that it displays the current, max, min and avg numbers on the 
bottom and draws a line for the current value. I have the following in 
hobbitgraph.cfg:

[wanbwutil]
        TITLE WAN Bandwidth Utilization
        YAXIS Value
        DEF:in=wanbwutil.rrd:inerrors:AVERAGE
        DEF:out=wanbwutil.rrd:outerrors:AVERAGE
        DEF:mb=wanbwutil.rrd:mbps:AVERAGE
        DEF:pct=wanbwutil.rrd:percentutil:AVERAGE
        LINE2:in#00CCCC:In Errors
        LINE2:out#FF0000:Out Errors
        LINE2:mb#FF0000:Mbps
        LINE2:pct#FF0000:Percent Utilization
        -u 100
        COMMENT:\n
        GPRINT:in:LAST:In Errors \: %5.1lf%s (cur)
        GPRINT:in:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max)
        GPRINT:in:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min)
        GPRINT:in:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n
        GPRINT:out:LAST:Out Errors \: %5.1lf%s (cur)
        GPRINT:out:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max)
        GPRINT:out:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min)
        GPRINT:out:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n
        GPRINT:mb:LAST:Mbps \: %5.1lf%s (cur)
        GPRINT:mb:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max)
        GPRINT:mb:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min)
        GPRINT:mb:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n
        GPRINT:pct:LAST:Percent Utilization \: %5.1lf%s (cur)
        GPRINT:pct:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max)
        GPRINT:pct:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min)
        GPRINT:pct:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n

I derived this from the example included in the installation. 
One other question: While sending the alerts to Hobbit, where is the time 
stamp derived from? (i.e. x-axis). Ideally, I would like to supply this in 
the actual message because the data I am receiving could be minutes or 
hours old and shouldn't use the current time. It might contain the cpu 
utilization for the last three hours for every hour.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
