"ports" RRD graph not showing up

Oh yeah... That makes sense...
I upgraded from an earlier version of Hobbit on the server that didn't
support the new PORTS monitoring tests.  So, hobbitserver.cfg didn't
include the appropriate entries for TEST2RRD and GRAPHS...  I added
that, and what do you know, it's working now ;-)

I removed the HOST= trailing tags on the PORT tests.  I also insert ()
between % and $ as suggested.  Still no graph.  But the RRD files
*are* being generated.  They just aren't being displayed on the page.
Is there any other file that I need to modify?  hobbitgraph.cfg?

just for testing, could you remove the HOST= part of it ? Did you insert ()
between % and $?

Not there either

what about the 'trends' column?

did you wait enough cycles? could you check if there's RRD actually

Yes, I've waited enough cycles, but the graph still isn't showing up.
Meanwhile, several other changes I've made have shown up.

Yes, the RRD files have actually been generated.  They just don't want
to show up on the "ports" page for this host...  It's time for lunch,
so I'll check when I get back - maybe it'll work if I don't stare at
it, like that pot of boiling water ;-)

oh, you are using it under a wild-card (or multi-host) HOST=
section
thus
you want to limit the test to apply to that HOST alone. makes
sense
then.
I think the missing () is somewhat important too. If I recall
correctly,

I

didn't have much sucess until I inserted () myself.

Hmm.  The actual tests seem to be working correctly, but the RRD
graph
just isn't showing up...

I don't use HOST= in my working PORT tracking. I agree with

Greg

on

doing

it

via the RegExp itself.

The problem with that is, it will perform the PORT test on all
of
the
machines under the HOST= section the test is under.  I don't
want
this, as only one of the machines actually has the ports
running.  I
haven't had a problem using HOST= in this manner before, and
it's
described in the "rules to select hosts" section in the manpage
for
hobbit-clients.cfg

minor thing: not so sure TRACK= can take all numeric or not.
I believe your RegExp needs (). Mine goes like below. I have

PORT

column

show and alerts generated, plus RRD graph for counting of

TIME_WAIT

connections to
 PORT LOCAL=%([.:]3306)$ STATE=TIME_WAIT MIN=0 MAX=10000

COL=yellow

TRACK=db_TimeWait TEXT=db_TimeWait

I was wondering that myself.  I'll try changing to TRACK= to be
character-based and see if that helps.
