Can't find it...but I have been playing around with drraw a bit...not 
successfully, but if they ever get it working with rrd 1.2 it'll be a 
nice option to use with hobbit...

I thought I had seen a script that allowed a user to select the servers and graphs they wanted to show on one graph...similar to the admintools script but a dynamic form-based rrd tool...I'll dig around some more to see if I can find it again...if I remember right, it didn't care how many rrds or their relationships on a graph...so you could potentially have 15 servers on one graph (all showing different info but only the first one's y-axis...)

Hi Charles,

didn't you get the mail I sent you friday ? Here is it again:

!The hobbitgraph code currently cannot handle the combination of multiple !hosts and multiple files for one host. So when you define a multi-host !graph, you must use an FNPATTERN which matches a single file.
!
!I haven't figured out a sensible way of presenting multiple graphs for !multiple hosts in one image - hence this restriction. If you have any !ideas on how this can be done, let me know. The images get awfully !crowded very quickly, and difficult to interpret.

I'm trying to make multi-host graphs out of the following rrd's:

[hobbit at mon rrd]$ find . -name processes\* |egrep 'web-12|web-13'
./web-12/processes.Apache_app1.rrd
./web-12/processes.Apache_main.rrd
./web-12/processes.Apache_app2.rrd
./web-12/processes.Apache_app4.rrd
./web-12/processes.Apache_app3.rrd
./web-12/processes.Apache_app3.rrd
./web-13/processes.Apache_app1.rrd
./web-13/processes.Apache_main.rrd
./web-13/processes.Apache_app2.rrd
./web-13/processes.Apache_app4.rrd
./web-13/processes.Apache_app3.rrd
./web-13/processes.Apache_app3.rrd

The rrds are simple process counts with "count" as the DS:
[hobbit at mon rrd]$ rrdtool dump ./web-12/processes.Apache_app1.rrd |grep name
               <name> count </name>

Here is my hobbitgraph.cfg definition:

[processes-multi]
       FNPATTERN processes.(.+).rrd
       TITLE Multi-host Process counts
       YAXIS #
       DEF:cnt at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:count:AVERAGE
       -l 0 -A
       LINE2:cnt at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@
       GPRINT:cnt at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %10.1lf (cur)
       GPRINT:cnt at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %10.1lf (max)
       GPRINT:cnt at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %10.1lf (min)
       GPRINT:cnt at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %10.1lf (avg)\n

This looks to me like it should work, at least assuming that there are 
the same number of .rrd per host (there are), but I'm getting a broken 
graph image when I try to do a metrics report for multi-host processes 
counts.  I have found that if I do a metrics report on a SINGLE host, 
the graph displays properly.  Any idea what could be wrong?
