A note about NCV -- this is Yet Another Way to snag numbers and put them
into graphs, but I never got it to work. So I did it the hard way.
Others have gotten NCV to work. The problem is that NCV instructions
are unnecessary if you write your own parser.
I agree that the documentation is not written as a tutorial, but more as
a dump of working code.

Rob,
You are trying to combine two scripts into one. Read the FAQ.
The faq, of note, has some contradictions, while we're on the subject.
Frex:
"If you want the graph included with the other graphs on the trends
column, you must add it to the GRAPHS setting in the
~hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg file.
GRAPHS="la,disk,<... lots more ...>,bbproxy,hobbitd,slab"
Okay. Did that with cputemp. Then at the bottom:
"Make sure you have ncv listed in the GRAPHS setting in
hobbitserver.cfg. (Don't ask why - just take my word that it must be
there)."
Huh? Does this refer to TEST2RRD and is a typo? Does it mean the
"extra setting" vaguely described as
- -----
So we add an extra setting to hobbitserver.cfg:
NCV_slab="inodecache:GAUGE,dentrycache:GAUGE"
- -----
which i kept after the existing statements in the Graph section, for
lack of any more specific notes.
Or does it mean that "ncv" must now appear in GRAPHS= by itself, and
this is the first mention of it?
I have spent all day working with this. Please don't respond to threads
with "read the FAQ" when i quite obviously stated i have done so, and
they are definitely not written for the novice in any event. It means
either you have not read what I have written, or that you feel I am in
some way not worth your time. This is very frustrating.
Thank you.

Well i'm stuck already. What file is that block in? I can't find

in 'server.cfg nor 'graph.cfg...
It's in server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg
yeah found that with a grep rrdstatus, heh oops.
So something like
echo "DS:cputemp:GAUGE:600:0:U"
echo "cputemp.rrd"
probably isn't far off after all?
That should do it, yes. That's the format for the RRD creation, and
the name to create. If you just want to push out one value, you'd
follow that with:
echo "$temp"
I seem to still be doing something wrong...
I don't think hobbit_rrd will recreate the rrd if it already exists,
so you'd have to delete it sometime to get it rebuilt with the extra
variables. Wave bye-bye to your old data...
"Sir, I have no data."
Ok, so i did this
[cputemp]
TITLE CPU Temp
YAXIS Degrees Fahrenheit
DEF:avg=cputemp.rrd:cputemp:AVERAGE
AREA:cputemp#00CC00:CPU Temp Average
-u 1.0
GPRINT:cputemp:LAST: \: %5.11f (cur)
GPRINT:cputemp:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
GPRINT:cputemp:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
GPRINT:cputemp:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n
and this
GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,users,cputemp,.....8<...
as well, on the server.
but what i get is a text link called
Status unchanged in 1 hours, 41 minutes Status message received from
10.10.10.12 hobbit graph cputemp
that leads to nothing. Not even a "nan" graph :P
I think maybe by echo is in the wrong place...? Should it be before
or after the $BB msg command? Does it matter?
hobbit at currant:~/client/ext$ cat cputemp.sh #!/bin/sh
