DEVMON, xymon, and TABLE

That's a good point Buchan.    I'll have to test it on something else.

I found the nonhtml option and converted this into an NCV graph which is
working perfectly now.

Once I get the template squared away, I'll submit to the project.   I
imagine it'd be a good template for other networked PDUs.

Hey all,
 Just want a sanity check here to make sure I'm not losing my marbles.

 Does the TABLE option inside devmon's message syntax only produce graphs
for certain tests?

 I'm trying to use it to map the power usage for my PDUs, I have the data
being collected (mostly) properly and stored in the rrd files.

 However, when I look at the status column, I'm just getting the link to
the file and not the actual graph.

 I've reviewed Vernon's graph troubleshooting guide and everything is
good.

 I guess if this doesn't work, I'll have to figure out how to write out
the
individual branch elements in devmon.

I doubt it is the actual RRD collection that is the problem, otherwise you
probably wouldn't see a link to a graph ... however you should show the
output
of something like:

rrdtool info $BBRRD/hostname/power.rrd

-- message file --
PDU status:

TABLE:rrd(DS:ds0:powerCircuitAmps:GAUGE; DS:ds1:powerCircuitAmps:GAUGE)
Circuit | Amps
{powerCircuitName1}|{powerAmps}
-- END --

-- status message from xymon --

<!--DEVMON RRD: power 0 0
DS:ds0:GAUGE:600:0:U DS:ds1:GAUGE:600:0:U

According to your rrd option to the table statement in your message file,
the
DS name in the hobbitgraph definition should be ds0 or ds1, not "lambda".

Will we see the devmon template?
