Hello,
Pardon the newbie questions.
I can't seem to find any references on the format for "data messages".
Have tried sending the following, and no rrd file appears on the server:
data igskahcmasmx01,cr,usgs,gov.msgRate
messageRate: 1.3980
A second question is on best practices; How should one launch the data
collecting program, with respect to the definition of the associated test?
Below are the current pair of definitions I am using in clientlaunch.cfg:
[msgRate]
ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg
CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/ext/msgRate
LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTLOGS/msgRate.log
INTERVAL 5m
[msgRate.data]
ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg
CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/ext/data/msgRate
LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTLOGS/msgRate-data.log
INTERVAL 5m
I'm assuming that I can't run multiple "CMD"s in a single task definition.
Similarly I'm assuming that I can't reuse the same task identifier.
