Now that netap filer qtree trending is built into hobbit, how can I
adjust the number of qtrees that are charted in a single graph so that
it is more readable? Right now all of 12 my qtrees are appearing in a
single graph, so it's hard to follow the status. Disk graphs split up
to contain 5 partitions/graph, so I'd like for my qtree (and inode, for
that matter) graphs to be the same. How can I adjust that?
It should split up automatically on the "trends" page. I hope it does
that?
On the service status page, it is currently hard-coded into the
bb-hostsvc CGI script to do the split only for "disk" reports. This is
neither elegant nor flexible ... but doing it 100% correct would
entail scanning the RRD directory for matching files every time you
view a status - or if you run with the statically generated HTML
status logs, every time a status message is received. That's
expensive.
So the bb-hostsvc currently - when it sees a disk report - simply
counts the number of non-blank lines in the status message, and takes
that as the number of disks to generate graphs for.
It could do the same for inode- and qtree-status displays. I'll send
you a patch to test that lets you configure what status-displays
should get this treatment.
