I have created a custom RRD script and it been working

get
the license usage (x) graphed. But, for some reason it
won't work on a
host
I have that has a hostname of "license". RRD file gets
created, but it's all "nan" values. Could having the
exact same hostname, Dataset name,
and
column name cause it not to work? The only other
difference in this host
is
it's a Windows machine instead of Unix, but the status
sent to Hobbit is
the
same so I can't see that it would matter. Thanks!

Check your RRD script again... if you are grepping/awking
for
a line containing license you may need to narrow your
criteria :-)
It may be as simple as adding "tail -1" to make sure you
only
get the last occurence.
HTH,
Andy.
I have verified I am getting the right data from the status by redirecting
the script to a file. Somewhere between grepping the license count and
putting it in the RRD file it gets lost. I'm figuring it must be because
the hostname is the same as the DS name. Any other host I plug in to it
works fine. Thanks
