David,
Hi all,
I am battling with trying to get a graph to appear on the trends column.
What I have is a custom test appearing in it’s own status column –
specifically “databases”. The data as well as the graph is correct in
it’s own status column, but don’t seem to appear on the trends column
with the other graphs. There is probably something obvious that I am
missing, but can’t get this working correctly.
I have changed the hobbitserver.cfg where
TEST2RRD=”cpu=la,disk,………,nparts,databases”
GRAPHS=”la,disk,………,nparts,databases”
The graph is defined in hobbitgraph.cfg as follows :
[databases]
FNPATTERN ^database.(.+).rrd
TITLE Database Transaction Rate
YAXIS Transactions(R+W)
DEF:nt at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:numtrans:AVERAGE
LINE2:nt at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@
GPRINT:nt at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)
GPRINT:nt at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
GPRINT:nt at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
GPRINT:nt at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n
What is the name of the RRD file? Using basic * wildcarding, is it
databases.*.rrd or database.*.rrd - the RE above leaves that ambiguous
because '.' will match any character not just a dot. If it is in fact
database.*.rrd that could be the problem.
I had a similar issue a while ago - see
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2009/05/msg00149.html
In a nutshell, trends seems to require a file to exist of the form
'graphname.*.rrd', but it doesn't have to be a real RRD file!
David.
I assume the above to be correct (as well as other configurations that
I have changed), because the status column for databases has the data
& graph displayed as it should (below)
DB STC Reads Writes
ADADB021 0 0
ADADB029 0 0
ADADB030 200 0
ADADB031 0 9
ADADB032 20012 0
ADADB040 1723 14
ADADB050 67564 1816
Status unchanged in 1 hours, 2 minutes
Status message received from 127.0.0.1
Client data
<http://10.17.0.50/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=mf>; available
I have changed my bb-hosts file to include :
x.x.x.x mf # TRENDS:*,databases
But that doesn’t work – as no graph is displayed for the databases on
the trends column.
The only way I can get the graph to appear in the trends column is to
change the bb-hosts to something like the following :
x.x.x.x mf # TRENDS:*,cics:cics|databases
The databases graph then appears on the trends column, but this is not
quite what I want to do. However, doing it this way then provides a
different restriction. If the cics graph only has 4 cics sessions that
it is reporting on, and the databases graph has 7 databases that it is
reporting on, when the graphs are displayed on the trends column, the
cics graph is correct but the databases graph only displays the first
4 databases (below) instead of all 7 databases (above).
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Regards
Dave
