As for the diamond-shaped graph - yes, this is quite puzzling.
I've had a couple of other reports (see e.g. this thread:
http://www.hobbitmon.com/hobbiton/2005/10/msg00332.html).
We haven't been able to figure out why this happens, the data
that goes into the RRD file look sane.
The data in the rrd file looks strange however when dumped using
rrdtool. So every other value is different.
Would this somehow be linked to the ping graphs I see that form 'ramps' ? Does 
anyone else see these 'ramps' ? Most of my host ping times show the same 
pattern. So this would define the problem to be in Hobbit, or in my 
network ;) The BigBrother server, running in parallel with Hobbit, doesn't 
show this pattern. I am using the hobbitping tool. The small home hobbit 
server, I run, doesn't show this pattern 'ramp' pattern. 

You can see a sample graph at,

this could be a similar problem. I've seen that the bbtest graph
corresponds to the network tests showing a wrong graph. Maybe the
problem is caused by bbtest-net?

Please compare:

Is there any possibility to debug this problem?

Ciao,
