Hi,

I use the dnsload script with hobbit.
[...] Instructions for getting the status reports elided...
For the server-side grapher, I use :

NCV_dnsload="Queryrate:GAUGE,*:NONE"

[dnsload]
        DEF:q=dnsload.rrd:Queryrate:AVERAGE
        TITLE DNS queries rate
        YAXIS queries/second
        -l 0
        AREA:q#00ff00:queries/sec
        GPRINT:q:LAST:%3.0lf
        GPRINT:q:MAX:max\: %3.0lf
        GPRINT:q:MIN:min\:%3.0lf
        GPRINT:q:AVERAGE:avg\:%3.0lf
I added this to my hobbitgraph.d directory, but I don't see any graphs.
I did add both "dnsload" and "NCV_dnsload" to the graph variable in
hobbitserver.cfg, but still no graphs.  Where should I look to figure
out what I am doing wrong?
