I've spent way too much time trying to figure this out. I've read,
re-read, and re-re-read a variety of documentation over and over again
trying to get this to work. Help!
I wrote a script to collect data. I'm sending it to Xymon (v4.3.12) with
something like the following:
"${XYMON}" "${XYMSRV}" '@' <<-EOT
data ${MACHINE}.trends
[${RRDNAME}.rrd]
DS:cnt:ABSOLUTE:600:0:U ${CNTVAL}
DS:pct:GAUGE:600:0:100 ${PCTVAL}
EOT
Even without any special configuration in *xymonserver.cfg*, the data is
accepted by the Xymon server and recorded in the expected RRD file. *rrdtool
dump* on the file shows what I'd expect to see.
I created a *graphs.cfg* config for the data. I can view a graph of the
data using *showgraph.sh*.
According to all the documentation I can find, to add the graph to the
(client) machine's trends column, I need to add the graph name to the
*$GRAPHS* definition in *xymonserver.cfg*, which I've done. I've then
restarted *xymond*. But the graph doesn't show up in the trends column.
Just in case, I also added the graph name to the *$TEST2RRD* definition in
*xymonserver.cfg*, then restarted *xymond*. Still no graph in trends.
Added "=ncv" after the graph name in the *$TEST2RRD* definition and
restarted *xymond*. No good.
Added the graph name to the *TRENDS* option in the client machine's
*hosts.cfg* entry. No good.
In all cases, I restarted *xymond* using *service xymon restart*.
I'm tailing *~xymon/log/*.log* while doing all of this and seeing nothing
that would indicate a problem with the graph definition or *xymonserver.cfg*
.
Help!
