Yes, the "&color" now counts as a token, so any grep/awk/sed (or
equivalent) is going to be off by one. Is this information included in
the overall data blast from the Hobbit client? If so, you might
consider tacking the colors at the END of each line and see if the
Hobbit parser starts working again.
For reference, here is something from a Solaris system:
Wed Oct 11 12:19:50 CDT 2006 - Filesystems OK
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
swap 18665136 107640 18557496 1% /tmp

/dev/vx/dsk/home 1021735 614185 346246 64% /export/home
Notice that the filesystem is token 1, the usage is token 2, and
available space is token 3, etc., etc.
These are just ideas. I've written 7 or 8 custom tests of my own with
my own RRD parsing at the end, so I quickly became acquainted with the
need for agreement between the "pitcher" and the "catcher".

I verified that the routine parsing the data for the graphs is picking
the third token on the first line. I changed the first line to look
like the Unix equivalent (the date format, etc) and it is consistently
picking the third item.
The '2006' is becoming the name of the data point and the value being
graphed is zero.
I'm just sending the data (there is no back end routine or extra script
involved), I'm letting Hobbit to the parsing.
Adding the icon (I do use &color, when I cut and pasted it from Firefox
'green' came out) is messing up the parsing such that no graph data is
produced.

Notice that the third (3rd) token in the first line of the message is "2006". The amount of disk space that is used is also the third token
on each usage line. I suspect that the parsing script is getting fooled. Is this your own script? If so, you should use &green (or &yellow and &red) and Hobbit will replace it with a proper status
"dot."

Subject: [hobbit] Representing disk data for graphing
I'm interested in changing the way that I report disk utilization for mainframe based operating systems (VM and VSE) so that it can be graphed by RRD. The basic message format seems right, but the graph is not coming out properly. Here is the message text:
11 Oct 2006 07:45:23 Disk/SFS Utilization OK

green /dev/0124 14400 720 13680 5.0%

green /VMSYSU/group3 71896 0 71896 0.0% /SFS/VMSYSU
The 'green' indicator on the left is a green icon put there to easily spot an offender. Is that messing up the parsing of the message for graphing purposes? Or is it possibly the decimal points in the percentages?
The graph is coming up with a single data point called 2006.
