Hi,
I would have perhaps asked in the Devmon mailing list but my question is
quite pertinent to Xymon too and this mailing list is a little more active
with many using Devmon.
I have a check, it's called temp.
I have a Devmon template for an IBM UPS device and I have a template for an
IBM PDU device. Both have a temp check for reading temperature and
humidity.
The IBM UPS template has existed for a while and has been displaying temp
graphs. I have temp=ncv, temp in GRAPHS and an entry in graphs.cfg and
xymonserver.cfg.
What happens when you introduce a temp check to a new device that has a
different template? Do you have to create an extra line in
graphs.cfg/Xymonserver.cfg? Is it the same name?
ie do I have to use
NCV_temp=temperature:GAUGE (temperature being what is parsed from message
file of template)
for template 1 (IBM UPS)
and
NCV_temp=pdutemperature:GAUGE (pdutemperature being what is parsed from
message file of template)
for template 2 (IBM PDU)
OR
Do I have to use a different check/column name for each use of temperature
per device? I might use Devmon for temperature/Humidity readings on a UPS
device, or a PDU, or a server, or a network device and the templates I use
in Devmon will be completely different. In which case I would have to use
temppdu for example in xymonserver.cfg/Graphs.cfg alongside the existing
temp
Hopefully my question is clear,
thanks
Steve
