Can't get NetApp CPU to graph

Hello,

        I have a problem that just doesn't make sense.  I am
monitoring the CPU of a Network Appliance server using SNMP queries
from the Hobbit server.  It's essentially what I am doing on an old BB
server running LaRRD.  I have added custom graphs to my BB server and
they worked fine, so I have a basic understanding how the LaRRD
parsing works.  The CPU status message looks fine, but Hobbit is just
not picking up the data and adding it to RRD, and therefore not
graphing.  I even tried copying the rrd file over from the BB server
to see if that would help, but no dice.  It graphs up to the point
where I copied it from BB and stops.  Other devices where I'm
monitoring CPU the status message is identical, and it's graphing
fine.  Is there a way to debug RRD to see what's going wrong?  I get
very few useful messages in the RRD log files.

Thanks in Advance,

Jeff

hello,
you have some nice examples on rrdtool main page.
this tutorial could be helpfull :
http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/tut/rrdtutorial.en.html

the "rrdtool info myfile.rrd" will also give you good informations 
regarding what's in your rrd file.

even if the status looks fine, try to get the same kind of result for 
the cpu message that you have for standard client.
in some cases the hobbit doesn't manage to fetch correctly the cpu data 
and doesn't insert the value to the rrd file.

hope this'll help.
Thanks in Advance,

Jeff
