[hobbit] Purple trends?

[Kevin Hanrahan]

Here is the last couple of entries:

 [root at nemesis hobbit]# tail -n500 hobbitlaunch.log |egrep larrdcolumn

2005-02-06 12:43:16 Task larrdcolumn started with PID 19959

(the time is now 12:45)


I ran the "drop" command and it dropped the trends column but it never came
back!


I think I may know the cause however...I added the following to the bb-hosts
entry for that host:

LARRD:iishealth

I was trying to get the iishealth graphs to work and I saw a reference to
this in the man pages. I apparently
Have used it incorrectly. When I removed that reference and restarted
hobbit, the trends column came back!(green)


What did I do wrong?

Well, it can happen if there have been graphs for this host previously, but
now there are none. But that's unusual.

Could you check /var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.log for when the "larrdcolumn"
task has run ? And if there are any messages logged other than it was
started ?

Also, try running

      ~hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop SERVERNAME trends"

This removes the "trends" column - it should appear again when the
larrdcolumn task runs, if there are any valid graphs.
