Everything looks fine, except the netstat and vmstat columns are now
purple.  The odd thing is that the RRD files are still being updated!
Hobbit doesn't generate a specific column for the netstat and vmstat
data - similar to how LARRD worked if you had LARDCOMM=DATA configured
in your bf-larrd.sh script. You probably had LARRDCOMM=STATUS ...

Also, although my vmstat.rrd file is being generated, the graph is
broken.
It shouldn't break just because of switching from the BB client to the
Hobbit client. It WILL break, if you migrate your server from BB
to Hobbit - the BB vmstat data was a terrible mess with different data
layouts for each operating system, so the format of the vmstat RRD
files just isn't compatible between BB and Hobbit.

Any errors in your rrd-data.log (or larrd-data.log) file ?
