We appreciate that…too many list users forget to reply with their fix
(this is a global phenomena) and the debugging steps they did so the next
guy that goes looking is left wondering.

No, no…you misunderstood…I'm not saying that at all…just asking if he was
pursuing that path as well.
Yes, I have posted a thread on the RRD forum (though I'm not doing a full
cross-posting). I haven't gotten any responses back yet, and besides I'm
not convinced it is a problem with RRD (or for that matter, Hobbit).
My main reason for updating this thread in the hobbit list is because much
of it is Hobbit related (even if Hobbit itself isn't the cause).

I think a lot of us are thinking "speak for yourself, Gary" =)
I, too, enjoy a good challenge some times...but not when I'm too busy with
other tasks - almost all the time =(
Heheh, since I seem to be the only one with this problem so far (or at
least, the only one to post about it), I'm doing most of the responding to
my own thread. Oh well, I've learned quite a bit about how Hobbit and RRD
both work.
This is certainly a good challenge, since so many factors are involved in
this problem. Unfortunately for me, we have people here that might try to
represent this problem as a reason to get off Hobbit and use an inferior
pay-ware monitoring solution. Thankfully I figured out a work-around, so
I'm hoping that will buy me enough time to finally figure this one out.
...And hopefully in the mean time, I don't cause too much irrelevant noise
on this mailing list, responding to my own problem ;-)

Gary,
Are you cross-posting to the rrd lists as well? Someone there may be
better able to tell you where to look..or give some idea of something Henrik
may need to check in the code. Most of us are rrd consumers only and even
fewer see the same issue. I wish I were since I like debugging troublesome
issues…much more fun than just clicking "next" when prompted or './configure
&& make && make install'.

To try and narrow down the problem some more, I got rid of all the old,
unused rrd data files and directories in Hobbit's /data directory, and
removed all the bogus data from all of them. Since the problem re-occurred,
I can fairly confidently say it has nothing to do with having too many rrd
files (hey, you never know).

I'm curious, is anyone else having this issue? For reference, I have
attached a typical screen shot of one of the broken graphs; I think it's a
better representation than an earlier screen shot I provided. If it's some
bug in hobbit and/or rrdtool, I would think I'm not the only one with this
problem.
