recommended version of rrdtool 1.2 for Hobbit 4.2
list Tom Georgoulias
I'm thinking of upgrading my production Hobbit server to rrdtool 1.2 when Hobbit 4.2 is released. Is there a preferred version of rrdtool that I should use, or just grab the latest (1.2.15)? Also, has anyone had success with building the RPM on RHEL3 using the spec file provided with the tarball? THanks, Tom

Personally, I still use rrdtool 1.0.49 or so on my production servers. My development system uses whatever was the latest 1.2.x version from about a month ago. I think most of the bugs in the early 1.2 versions have been fixed, so upgrading to the latest version is probably a reasonably safe way forward. Regards, Henrik

I used 1.2.15 and haven't seen any problems yet, but I'll keep my eyes open. The ability to graph the 95th percentile with a simple RRD def made it well worth the upgrade. Our custom network traffic monitoring scripts have never been better. :) Tom
