Graphing help with multiple physical & logical CPUS

Hi Thomas,
 
Thanks for the update, the NCV line will be so much easier to configure using the wildcard.
I've tried a couple of different things for the hobbitgraph.cfg file so that I don't have to include
an entry for each CPU (see below), but I was unsuccessful.  For a 2 Physical CPU box this
isn't so bad and with hyper-threading this would give me 4 logical CPUs.  Now it starts to
get a little messy.  I was hoping there was a way to either use wildcards or a regex in the
DEF and LINE2 lines.  Sun's T2000 will have a 32 logical CPUs (if I read that right).
 
So, that's my true dilemna, I guess I was to vague before.
 
Thanks

Try to look at this howto Henrik did with 2 datasets

http://www.hswn.dk/~henrik/howtograph.txt

and maybe change the line ncv_pcpu line to

NCV_pcpu="*:GAUGE"

Hi all,

I have a script that returns data from a host on the utilization of
physical and logical CPUS.
The data is returned as an NCV like below:

PCPU0 : 5.44
PCPU1 : 0.10
Physical CPU 0 utilization is 5.44%
Physical CPU 1 utilization is 0.10%

In my hobbitserver.cfg file I've added "pcpu=ncv" to the TEST2RRD line
and my ncv line should handled up to 8 CPUS
NCV_pcpu="PCPU0:GAUGE,PCPU1:GAUGE,PCPU2:GAUGE,PCPU3:GAUGE,PCPU4:GAUGE,PC
PU5:GAUGE,PCPU6:GAUGE,PCPU7:GAUGE"

I didn't add this to the GRAPHS line because I'm stuck at the RRD defs
part in hobbitgraph.cfg.
I don't want a separate RRD def for each physcial CPU, but I do want
both (or 8) CPUS to show up on the graph.
The same for the logical CPUS.

Any ideas??

Thanks
