Hi Asif

Have a look here.

This is an example of what I think you are trying to do.

Looking at your link. What is  db-cpu::100 means in GRAPHS ? I did not see
any thing in xymonserver.cfg man page to explain the ``:100'' after the
columnname

So essentially you are taking advantage of both status and data channel in
the same script like I started with.

I will revisit my initial approach, except I will make sure there is no
NCV like data, like Jeremy suggested,  when sending to status channel or it
screw up the rrd with garbage.

OK so this time it worked!! Thanks a lot to both Jeremy and Vernon!

I used the usual
  foo=ncv for TEST2RRD to generate rrd,
  GRAPHS=foo for it show up in trends column and
  SPLITNCV_foo="*;GAUGE" to create separate rrd, foo,ds1.rrd and
foo,ds2.rrd, for each dataset.

I sent MSG to status channel and *made sure* there is NCV type data in
there. I used the sed trick to get rid of
``:'' and ``='' in there.

And I sent NCV type data to the data channel. Used just one script like this

$XYMON $XYMSRV "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date`

      ${MSG}
      "
$XYMON $XYMSRV "data $MACHINE.$COLUMN
      $(echo)
.. a : 2 ...
.. b : 3 ...
      $(echo)
"

In the graphs.cfg I have

[foo]
        FNPATTERN foo,(.*).rrd
        TITLE foo  - ds1 and ds2
        YAXIS %
        -u 100
        -l 0
        DEF:p at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:lambda:AVERAGE   # must use lambda if using
SPLITNCV
        LINE2:p at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@
        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)
        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

This creates only one graph. How do I create multiple graphs? one for
foo,ds1.rrd and one for foo,ds2.rrd ?

Thanks again for all the help.
