I don't know if any else had noticed this, but I just started
experimenting with the hobbit client in 4.1.2.  I've found that the Hobbit
server generates the disk RRD graphs in seperate graphs of 4 filesystems
each.  Which is a behavior I'd like to use in some of my custom graphs,
but I don't see how to set that.

But, on the server with the new Hobbit client, all of the filesystems are
thrown into one big graph.  With over 40 filesystems on this one server,
the graph isn't too usefull.

Is there a setting somewhere to tell Hobbit to split up X rrd files into
seperate graphs?

Did you get an answer to this ?  If you did can you  tell me it!  Ive

I had this same problem, didn't notice it until adding a new client, it
seemed some graphs were all mixed in where they had been split before.
Some where split as usual.  I am not sure if this was the fix, but I had
stopped the hobbit server, cleaned $HOBBIT/tmp (all except the chk
files), and then restarted.  After this, all the graphs were back to
being split out.

HTH.

Hi

You are probably looking  for the "--multigraphs" option specified as part of "CGI_SVC_OPTS" variable within "hobbitcgi.cfg".

For example if you have a custom test called "myextratest" you should specify something like this:
CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg --no-svcid --history=top --multigraphs=myextratest,disk"

Remember to include "disk", since by specifying this option you overwrite the default values and disk will be no longer split up. You can also find the description for this option within the HOBBITD_FILESTORE man page.

Best wishes,
Anatoli Bogajewski

That almost works.  What I get when I enable that option is a single graph
with only the first rrd file on it.  I use it to graph error counts on
each port of a fibre switch.  The graph now shows only the first port on
each switch. If I remove this option, it displays all of the ports on a
single graph.  Here is my graph definition:

[diagshow]
        FNPATTERN diagshow,port(.*).rrd
        TITLE Port LLI Errors
        YAXIS Errors
        DEF:LLIERRORS at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:LLIERRORS:AVERAGE

Hi

What happens if you use "FNPATTERN diagshow.(.*).rrd" ?

This is my working definition for system activity reporter:

[sar]
        FNPATTERN sar.(.*).rrd
        TITLE Device Workload
        YAXIS % Busy
        DEF:sar at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:sar:AVERAGE
        LINE2:sar at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@
        -u 100
        -l 0
        GPRINT:sar at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)
        GPRINT:sar at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
        GPRINT:sar at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
        GPRINT:sar at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

Rrds are dropped with names like sar,DEVICENR.rrd. At the moment about 20 
devices displayed well in groups of four graphs. 

But this is for hobbit 4.0.4. Just noticed, that there are some problems 
with displaying disks graphs on another system running hobbit 4.1.2. Not 
sure that both things are correlated, but as you discussed prior, all of 
the disk graphs for remote clients are displayed in one single graph.

Still investigating.

So long,
Anatoli
