In my bb installation i have renamed the conn test as 'link'.

I would like to change it also in my hobbit installation so i have change: 


in hobbitlaunch.cfg

CMD bbtest-net --report --checkresponse --ping=link

in hobbitserver.cfg

link=tcp

Now the column link is generated but no larrd graph.

any ideas ?

thanks

The "conn" columnname really wasn't configurable - hobbitd_larrd
would always assume it was either "conn", "fping" or "ping".

So I took this as an opportunity to clean it up a bit. The ping
column name is now defined solely via a PINGCOLUMN environment 
variable.

Also, I decided that having to mess with the LARRDS setting just for
network tests was silly. So instead, all of the RRD- and graph-code
will automatically pick up simple network tests from the bb-services
file.

where i could set this variable? is not more used the bb-net
option --ping=conn-name

In hobbitserver.cfg, but it will not work with the software you have.
You'll need 4.0-RC3 which I haven't released yet.

See the man-pages for hobbitgraph.cgi and hobbitgraph.cfg
