Greetings Hobbit Gurus!
I am a new user of hobbit, I want to capture iostat and put it on graph for
historic data like hobbit has it for memory/cpu, etc. I downloaded bb-iostat
from deadcat, but I could not follow the instruction how do I add it, and it
will not create graph for you. I am sure one you gurus has done this, would
you please help.


Thank you,

You didn't specified the OS, but I created a script for linux:
http://www.docum.org/twiki/bin/view/Hobbit/LinuxIostatGraphs
This script was created as a demo on how to create graphs.

Thank you Stef, I am working on RHEL 5.2. From where can I download patch
for iostat. I would appreciate it.

Thank you again,

The vmstat5 graph (created by default, but not displayed by default, view the vmstat graph and then change service=vmstat to service=vmstat5 in the URL to see it) will show you block IO (total). You can set this graph to be shown by default in the trends page (I can't check exactly how right now).

However, if you need per-block-device stats, you will need something that uses iostat data.
