Hi All,
After half a day searching for the problem, why my custom graph for my
test isn't showing properly in xymon, I'm reaching out to you guys.
I have googled quite a bit but none of the explanations and/or
suggestions (which I all tried) are working for me.
It is probably something stupid I'm missing or doing wrong but I'm not
able to put my finger on it.
Version: Xymon: 4.3.7
Rrd version: rrdtool-1.2.12-13.2
Problem:
I have a custom scripts, that runs about every 5 min, that gives
following output in xymon: (the open threads line shows as a separate
line in the source html)
The number of open threads can vary from 0-500.
Hostname - ThreadCount
Mon Mar 26 15:48:05 CEST 2012
open threads : 41
Status unchanged in 4 hours, 35 minutes
Status message received from xx.xxx.xxx.xxx
I added the necessary in xymonserver.cfg and it looks like this:
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,
<......more.....>,ThreadCount=ncv, <......more.....>,xymond"
NCV_ThreadCount="openthreads:GAUGE"
GRAPHS="la,disk, <......more.....>,ncv, <......more.....>,ThreadCount"
I added the required to graphs.cfg and it looks like this:
[ThreadCount]
TITLE ThreadsCount Info
YAXIS Threads
DEF:threadcount=ThreadCount.rrd:openthreads:AVERAGE
LINE2:threadcount#0000FF:open threads
COMMENT:\n
GPRINT:open:LAST:open threads \:
%5.1lf%s (cur)
GPRINT:open:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max)
GPRINT:open:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min)
GPRINT:open:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n
Below is the upper most part of a rrdtool dump of the rrd file that gets
created succefully. (ThreadCount.rrd):
<!-- Round Robin Database Dump -->
<rrd>

I tried several stuff to change the output of my script (open_threads,
openthreads), but that changed nothing. (I did restart xymon numerous
times after removing the created rrd files)
Per info: I started with following site:

All suggestions are appreciated.
