Hi all

Wondering if anybody has done this before, before I try and do it
myself.

Under bbtest on the hobbit server, there are a number of stats,
including number of hosts. (Hosts total)

has anybody managed to graph this information?
Ideally, I would like to graph the Hosts total, # hostnames resolved and
# TCP tests total, but I will be happy with Hosts total.

Before any of you shake your head and wonder why, management have asked
for it :-)

You can take a look at the rrd's to find out what info is collected:
rrdtool info hobbitd.rrd | grep type

As far as I can see, no info about number of hosts, hostname resolved, tcp
tests, ...

I am interested to see following statistics sections to be in trending 
graph.

http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=voodoo.hswn.dk&SERVICE=bbtest

"TIME TOTAL" entries is graphed.

http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=voodoo.hswn.dk&SERVICE=bbgen

"TIME TOTAL" entries is graphed.

But This is not an external module job. It require change of hobbit C code. 
Searching "TIME TOTAL"
in the source tree should be able to locate which C function need to be 
updated.

The real question is why Henrik only graph "TIME TOTAL" ?
