Hello Hobbit users.
 
We have recently installed hobbit to replace a bigbrother PE
installation.
 
I am trying to make use of the ncv functionality mentioned in the
hobbitd_rrd man page.
 
My hobbit server is receiving the following from the client without
issue (not incluing the =====)
========
green Wed Jan  4 13:16:08 WST 2006 
DEV :       39
RUN :       18
========
 
I have modified hobbitserver.cfg with the following:
 
========
NCV_pro4="GAUGE"
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tc
p,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apache,bind,sen
dmail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy
,hobbitd,pro4=ncv"
 
# This defines which RRD files to include on the "trends" column
webpage,
# and the order in which they appear.
GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,tcp.http,tcp,nets
tat,mrtg::1,temperature,ntpstat,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,iis
health,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,pro4"
========
 The rrd file is created as expected by hobbit, but only seems to
include the DEV column.
 
Output from 
 
/usr/local/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool fetch pro4.rrd AVERAGE
 
produces (cut down)
 
                            DEV
 
1136266500: nan

--- deleted lines ---
1136352600: 7.9365079365e-03
1136352900: nan
 
 
I am having real trouble determining how to debug this further.
 
I am also having trouble producing the graph but am sure that relates to
my inexperience with hobbit but will get there with more reading.

Any help would be appreciated....
 
Thanks
 
Phil
