Purple trends? 🔗 link

I have a strange situation. On only one of my servers, I have the trends
column showing purple. When I look at the graphs however, it appears to be
up to date! My time and date on the system are also up to date. Anybody got
any ideas?

Could you check /var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.log for when the
"larrdcolumn" task has run ? And if there are any messages logged
other than it was started ?

Also, try running

      ~hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop SERVERNAME trends"

This removes the "trends" column - it should appear again when the
larrdcolumn task runs, if there are any valid graphs.

Here is the last couple of entries:

2005-02-06 12:43:16 Task larrdcolumn started with PID 19959

(the time is now 12:45)


I ran the "drop" command and it dropped the trends column but it never came
back!


I think I may know the cause however...I added the following to the bb-hosts
entry for that host:

LARRD:iishealth

I was trying to get the iishealth graphs to work and I saw a reference to
this in the man pages. I apparently
Have used it incorrectly. When I removed that reference and restarted
hobbit, the trends column came back!(green)


What did I do wrong?

This means that you want ONLY the iishealth graph for this host,
nothing else. If there is no iishealth RRD file, then you won't get
any graphs at all.
