"ports" RRD graph not showing up

oh, you are using it under a wild-card (or multi-host) HOST= section thus
you want to limit the test to apply to that HOST alone. makes sense then.
I think the missing () is somewhat important too. If I recall correctly, I
didn't have much sucess until I inserted () myself.

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.
