Integrate rrd files into hobbit

Hi,

First thanks for your reply I really appreciate your help. I did as you
suggested but still no luck. Thinking maybe the rrd file is in wrong place
or I have to include the full path to that file in the graph config file?

 I had the same Problem. I changed the "DEF:... AVERAGE..." in "DEF:...
MAX ...". And now it works fine. Every 24 Hours my rrd get a update.

 Hi,

Since I haven't receive any response to the previous e-mail I'm including
some more details here. This is what I have done till now but can't get any
graph output from hobbit:

I have edited the following 3 files:


- *hobbitgraph.cfg* - tell hobbit how to create the graph from the rrd
file

[wlpub11]
    TITLE EPUB92: Threads ebspap11
    YAXIS Number
        DEF:execute=etech_thread81cmspServer11_cms.rrd:execute:AVERAGE

        COMMENT:average\\:\\g \

        DEF:hogging=etech_thread81cmspServer11_cms.rrd:hogging:AVERAGE

        GPRINT:hogging:MIN:%2.0lf \
        COMMENT:max\\:\\g \
        GPRINT:hogging:MAX:%2.0lf \
        COMMENT:average\\:\\g \
        GPRINT:hogging:AVERAGE:%2.0lf


- *hobbitserver.cfg* - tell hobbit to include the new graph for processing
=> add the new graph name to the GRAPHS line


GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,files,processes,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,tcp.http,tcp,ncv,netstat,ifstat,mrtg::1,ports,temperature,ntpstat,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,clock,lines,wlpub11"


- *bb-hosts* - add the new graph to the "trends" column for the apropriate
host

#subparent SWIF-Public Weblogic Weblogic servers
group-compress <font size="+1">Weblogic servers</font>
10.156.202.10   Weblogic8.1-ebspap11            # conn HIDEHTTP
ebspap11-mgt.three.com.au:7011 TRENDS:*,wlpub11


So the idea is to get hobbit create the graph and put it under the trends
column for the particular server but it seams it doesn't do anything since I
can't see any graph or error messages in the log file. I have put the
etech_thread81cmspServer11_cms.rrd file into
/var/lib/hobbit/rrd/Weblogic8.1-ebspap11 folder. Just wondering if I'm
missing something or just want to accomplish the impossible?

Hi all,

I was reading some posts about integrating external custom scripts
into hobbit and was wondering is it possible to link existing rrd
database files created by some other application and use hobbit for
charting? If possible, what files do I need to eddit to make this
work? The rrd file is created using rrdtool so another question would
be about compatibility of the rrd file with the way the rrd files are
being created in hobbit.

Thanks in advance for any help.
