If you are trying to restrict the test to a specific host, why don't you
put the PROC command under its own HOST=whatever section?

Subject: Re: [hobbit] "ports" RRD graph not showing up
I don't use HOST= in my working PORT tracking. I agree with Greg on doing it via the RegExp itself.
The problem with that is, it will perform the PORT test on all of the
machines under the HOST= section the test is under. I don't want this,
as only one of the machines actually has the ports running. I haven't
had a problem using HOST= in this manner before, and it's described in
the "rules to select hosts" section in the manpage for
hobbit-clients.cfg
minor thing: not so sure TRACK= can take all numeric or not.
I believe your RegExp needs (). Mine goes like below. I have PORT column show and alerts generated, plus RRD graph for counting of TIME_WAIT connections to PORT LOCAL=%([.:]3306)$ STATE=TIME_WAIT MIN=0 MAX=10000 COL=yellow TRACK=db_TimeWait TEXT=db_TimeWait
I was wondering that myself. I'll try changing to TRACK= to be
character-based and see if that helps.
