Hi Vernon,
You need to write your own backend data collector and have hobbit pass
the data to it through a change in hobbitlaunch. You parse the data
yourself at the server side and then build a single rrd file for every
entry. You then use the FNPATTERN as you have already specified...
From memory, I think this is lightly covered in the man pages.
Cheers

Hi all
Is there any way to define a graph definition for values that may or may not
be available.
Let's work with CPU temperature, just as an example.
In hobbitserver.cfg, I can define this
NCV_systemp="*:GAUGE"
(And the other ncv definitions)
It then generates rrd files for all the servers.
However, some systems have 1 cpu, some have 2, and some 4.
So the rrd files only have entries for the number of CPUs.
In the hobbitgraph.cfg we can define the graph, with 4 cpu temperatures, but
if the rrd file doesn't contain 4 fields (i.e. system has only 2 CPUs), it
doesn't generate a graph.
It is also not possible to have a separate graph definition for 1, 2 and 4
CPU systems.
The other way round it, is to have each CPU in a separate file, and define
FNPATTERN= with a wildcard.
But how do we get the ncv module to put each field in a sepreate rrd file?
Regards
Vernon
