ok, I've been trying a few things between emails here , and here are the relevant lines in my hobbitserver.cfg (the ones I know of :) as they stand now. I have cycled hobbit since setting all of these...
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,files,procs=processes,ports,clock,lines,weblogic=ncv"
GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,files,processes,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,tcp.http,tcp,ncv,netstat,ifstat,mrtg::1,ports,temperature,ntpstat,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,clock,lines,weblogic"
NCV_weblogic="usedheap:GAUGE"
Those are the 3 lines I updated in the file. Perhaps I am missing something in here?

I took a look at a NCV that I have set up and in hobbitserver.cfg GAUGE
is capitalized. RRD may be picky about case so try:
NCV_weblogic="usedheap:GAUGE"

Hi Rich,
I added that and bounced Hobbit, but it didn't seem to help.
Any other thoughts?

Brian,
In addition to adding 'weblogic=ncv' to TEST2RRD, you also have to add
'weblogic' (without =ncv) to GRAPHS.
Remember to bounce Hobbit after the change as it only processes the file
at startup time.

I've been working with Hobbit for all of a couple of weeks now,
although
I have some limited exposure to Big Brother in a previous life...
In order to learn the tool better, I wrote a simple custom monitor
that
watches Heap usage in an application server. This seems to be
collecting data fine, but now I want to figure out how to graph this
information in an rrd graph.
Here's where I stand.
- I have a column called "weblogic" in Hobbit.
- When you click on that column for a given host, you see a field
called
"used_heap"
- I edited hobbitserver.cfg and added a piece at the end of the
TEST2RRD
line: weblogic=ncv
- I also added a line to the same file:
NCV_weblogic="usedheap:Gauge"
- I I'm generating a file called weblogic.rrd in
../data/rrd/<HOSTNAME>
But, when I go to the weblogic column, at the bottom of the page there
is a space where the graph should be that says "hobbit graph
ncv:weblogic" No graph.
I THINK everything is ok up to this point, but then comes the
hobbitgraph.cfg file, and I have to be honest, I really don't
understand
this file at all and haven't come across a good explanation yet, so
I'm
open to someone telling me to go read some website before I post, if
it's glaringly obvious. I used some other files and the examples I
found
online to come up with this...
[weblogic]
TITLE Heap Usage
YAXIS Bytes
DEF:heap=weblogic.rdd:usedheap:AVERAGE
LINE2:heap#00CCCC:Heap Used
COMMENT:\n
GPRINT:heap:LAST:Heap Used \: %5.1lf%s (cur)
GPRINT:heap:MAX: \: %5.11f%s (max)
GPRINT:heap:MIN: \: %5.11f%s (min)
GPRINT:heap:AVERAGE: \: %5.11f%s (avg)\n
I could use some help getting this graph going, and even explaining
the
entries in the hobbitgraph.cfg file if anyone has the patience to help
walk me through this.
