Hi all
The simple solution is to send two messages.
One, as a status, which is the display we get to see.
And another with data, which we don't get to see, but gets parsed into the rrd files.
Regards
Vernon

I'm pretty sure it's either...I find it a bit frustrating that we can't
limit where it looks for that info...if you happen to have a non-related
comment with a space or colon and a number, Xymon will attempt to parse it
as a tracked variable as well.

I use a colon to separate value and data. It works.

Get rid of the spaces. Your status should read "&green
Routing_Engine_Temperature 43". Make sure you send the data in Celsius and
let xymon do the conversion in the graphs.cfg file.
I haven't tried using a colon for separation of data and value. I have
been using just a space and it works fine for me on 4.3.7.

I've got a couple snmp tests and I'm trying to graph their output. I
tried putting in my own rrd script to collect the data, but there seems to
be a built-in one overriding mine. So, I tried to format my test output to
work with that, but I'm just getting rrd files that lack any data.
The main line of the test is like this:
&green Routing Engine Temperature 43
It causes the creation of a file like this:
/var/lib/hobbit/rrd/<hostname>/temperature.Routing_Engine_Temperature.rrd
When I use "rrdtool dump" I still get data like this and an empty graph.
<!-- 2015-06-11 11:20:00 PDT / 1434046800 --> <row><v>NaN</v></row>
<!-- 2015-06-11 11:25:00 PDT / 1434047100 --> <row><v>NaN</v></row>
If someone knows the correct format for temperature tests, I'd be set.
Also, we've got snmp collecting memory data for some equipment that we'd
like to override internal graphing on specific hosts if that can be done.
Reformatting output on that may be a bit harder.
The obvious answer is to change the test names for our custom ones, but
my boss is very opposed to creating new columns in xymon.
Thanks,
Dave Fogarty
