All,
I installed Hobbit a few weeks ago and it running fine. Someone in upper
management happened to see Hobbit in action and now wants more. He uses
nothing but Excel and therefore wants the raw Hobbit data so he can play
with spreadsheets all day long.
Maybe you can point him to the Availability reports (where he can generate a spreadsheet) to keep him occupied ...
My question is where can I find the raw data that Hobbit uses to create it's graphs? Namely the "trends" graph
for "cpu Utilization".
The trend graphs are generated from the rrd files, in data/rrd. You can use 'rrdtool dump ...' to extract the data to xml (and maybe he can import that into a spreadsheet). The various rrdtool man pages ('man rrdtutorial' may be a good start) are worth consulting.
Regards,
Buchan
