Getting graphs for one host, but not another... but both in same hostgroup

  I've stumbled across something odd. We're using Nagios and PNP4Nagios 
to get trending and graphs. I have two clients in the same hostgroup. 
The hostgroup name is "linux-servers". Members are "osiris1" and 
"imhotep". I'm using NRPE to check each. Relevant config files are 
below. In a nutshell, I'm getting disk graphs for Osiris1, but not for 
Imhotep and I can't figure out why. To clarify... the disk graphs are 
there for both. However, for host Osiris1 they are populated with data. 
But for host Imhotep they are blank (not non-existent, existent, but 
blank/empty). Checking manually at the command line of the Nagios server 
shows the pipe and the subsequent data (tests at bottm of email). I 
could understand if was monitoring the hosts individually and had a typo 
in a config for one, but I'm monitoring them as a hostgroup and command 
line tests work, but one is giving graphs with results and the other 
blank graphs. Any thoughts?

Any thoughts? I'm stumped on this one... anyone know where PNP keeps its 
logs? I'm thinking I might be able to grep through the logs for the host 
with the blank graphs and find something...
