Hi,

Has anyone successfully gotten iostat data (as from iostat-bf.sh in larrd) into hobbit?  I notice that out of the box, the iostat-bf script doesn't seem to support linux.  (And my tweakings aren't being very successful at the moment.)

Most Linuxes don't come with iostat in the default install. You need to
install iostat, first. You don't mention what distro your using, but I
didn't have any problem with Red Hat ES3, once I installed iostat. For
Red Hat iostat is included in the "sysstat" rpm. 
Thanks,
Larry Barber

I suppose I should also mention, that I'm using the vmio script from
deadcat to get iostat data. It doesn't produce larrd graphs, though.

Yes, I've installed the sysstat rpm, and I've had some success with the bb-iostat package.  But long term trending is what we're really interested in, so graphing is necessary.
