I have been troubleshooting this for a while. I have a script with a very
simple output, example “cf-execd : 13.60”. I have gone onto the local
server that it will be run on, and added the appropriate lines to
clientlaunch.cfg. I went on the server and modified xymonserver.cfg, adding
“CFENGINE=ncv” to the end of the TEST2RRD line. (CFENGINE is the monitor
name) I also added a new line on the file which states,
“NCV_CFENGINE=”cf-execd:GAUGE”.
I then restarted the xymon services. However, the RRD file is not created.
What am I doing wrong? This monitor is much more elaborate, but I dumbed it
down to a single line to troubleshoot this issue, and it still isn’t
working.
You appear to have done everything you need to do. Perhaps the hyphen is
causing problems? Probably not, because I'm pretty sure I have some DS
names with hyphens.
Check out the rrd-data.log file, or perhaps try running xymond_rrd with
"--debug" enabled.
You could try running xymond_channel on the data channel, filtering the
CFENGINE messages, and make sure the data messages are coming through. If
xymond_channel doesn't get them, then xymond_rrd won't save them.
