.. sorry, to bug you ... :-(

But i've got no correct linecount to work ..

.. and i've found  the threads, which says how easy it is,
but unfortunatley not for me :-(


i've written in my  client-launch.cfg

[k5cron01]
dir:`find /var/log -maxdepth 1 -type d`
log:/var/log/debug:25000
log:/var/log/k5crond.log:30240
log:/var/log/messages:25000
log:/var/log/all:25000
linecount:/var/log/k5crond.log
lostJob:timeout
Jobs:UID

and i've got an rrd-file on my server

lines.,var,log,debug#Jobs.rrd
lines.,var,log,debug#lostJob.rrd
lines.,var,log,k5crond.log#Jobs.rrd
lines.,var,log,k5crond.log#lostJob.rrd


I've got an graph for linecount but with the false values,
i think ... the y-ordinate is 0 - 30 m (?) .. why "30m" ?

and the rrd-file looks like

rrdtool dump lines.\,var\,log\,k5crond.log#Jobs.rrd

... why ?

                 <value> 5.2980132450e-01 </value>


.. my hobbitgraph.cfg looks for linecount like

[lines]
         FNPATTERN lines.(.+).rrd
         TITLE Logfile linecounts
         YAXIS #
         DEF:cnt at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:count:AVERAGE
         LINE2:cnt at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@
         GPRINT:cnt at RRDIDX@:LAST: %6.1lf (cur) \:
         GPRINT:cnt at RRDIDX@:MAX: %6.1lf (max) \:
         GPRINT:cnt at RRDIDX@:MIN: %6.1lf (min) \:
         GPRINT:cnt at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: %6.1lf (avg)\n


and on the client-side i can see in

/usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp/msg.k5cron01.txt


[linecount:/var/log/k5crond.log]
lostJob: 0
Jobs: 1954


Any hint is welcome ! :-)

thanks & cheers,

Hi !

Since i know that the  linecount-function in client-launch.cfg
counts the pattern even in the hole logfile, i wonder what people do
in the situation of logrotate ... what does it means for the rrd-file or the 
graph, going down to zero and starts again to count ?

On the other hand i want to count the pattern UID
to count all jobs are done ...

my client-launch.cfg

[k5cron01]
linecount:/var/log/debug
Jobs UID


On the client-side i see the right counting

[k5cron01] /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp # grep Jobs msg.k5cron01.txt
Jobs: 2322


But the graph gots no value .. and in the rrd-file stands follows ..


rrdtool dump lines.\,var\,log\,debug#Jobs.rrd

What's going wrong by me ?
