using NCV 🔗 link

I am currently using ncv to graph some of my cisco switches temperature.
And would like to use it to graph some of my DC Power Plant and UPS Temps.
The cisco switch columns are called “temps” and the dc power plant and ups’s
columns are called “temp”.  The cisco switches are working but the dc power
plants and ups’s aren’t.  I have put 2 entries into the hobbit-server.cfg:

 
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp,di
g=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apache,bind,sendmail,ma
ilq,nmailq=ma

q,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,files,procs=proces
ses,ports,clock,lines,if_load=devmon,temp=ncv,temps=ncv,processor=ncv"

 
NCV_temps="TEMP:GAUGE"

NCV_temp="*:GAUGE"

 
And here is what my hobbitgraph.cfg looks like:

 
[temp]

        TITLE Temperature

        YAXIS Celsius

        DEF:in at RRDIDX@=temp.rrd:TEMP:AVERAGE

        AREA:in at RRDIDX@#00CC00:@RRDPARAM@ Temperature

        GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:LAST: %5.1lf %s (cur)

        GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:MAX: %5.1lf %s (max)

        GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:MIN: %5.1lf %s (min)

        GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: %5.1lf %s (avg)\n

 
[temps]

        TITLE Temperature

        YAXIS Celsius

        DEF:in at RRDIDX@=temps.rrd:TEMP:AVERAGE

        AREA:in at RRDIDX@#00CC00:@RRDPARAM@ Temperature

        GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:LAST: %5.1lf %s (cur)

        GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:MAX: %5.1lf %s (max)

        GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:MIN: %5.1lf %s (min)

        GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: %5.1lf %s (avg)\n

 
And here is what I have in my DC Power Plant message file for devmon:

 
<!--

TEMP: {temp}

-->

{temp.color} Interal Temperature:  {temp}°C ({tempF}°F)

 
And here is what I have in my UPS’s message file for devmon:

 
<!--

TEMPA: {battTempA}

TEMPB: {battTempB}

-->

 
{battTempA.color} Battery Temperature:      {battTempA}°C ({battTempAF}°F)

 
{battTempB.color} Transformer Temperature:  {battTempB}°C ({battTempBF}°F)

 
I don’t know if that is the proper way to use ncv for multiple values


Any ideas on why it isn’t graphing.

Are you sure that asterisk is OK??  You can check the rrd to see if data is
being recorded:

     rrdtool dump data/rrd/<hostname>/temp.rrd

or something similar.

Well I had it as "TEMP:GAUGE" and wasn't getting anything either.  So I saw
on another post where someone had "*:GAUGE" and decided to try that.  Still
not getting anything though.  I am not even getting a temp.rrd file created.

Looking at what you get from devmon, you also need to cater for TEMPA and
TEMPB.

I just want to confirm that the column headings for these are actually
displayed as temp and temps. Is this correct?

Can I ask you to test something?

It may be that the data you are sending through is confusing the ncv code.

From a command line on a host with hobbit installed, fake a message up to
the server with some dummy data.

Something like .....

 $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$TEST green `date`

TEMP: 55

 "

After you run this, check that hobbit displays this data within the gui.
Then check that an rrd has been created? If you don't get an rrd, then it is
somewhere in the ncv configuration.

Cheers
