Custom script working as the builtin http test

Hi,


I'm trying to write a server side script to monitor MQ put/get status and
times,
the script output looks like this :


Tue Nov 6 09:08:38 CET 2012


    MQ1 - OK

   put : 21
   get : 20

    MQ2 - OK

   put : 20
   get : 20


The script works well, but i can't figure out how to do the graphs the same
way as the built in
http, that is with multiple test showing up in the same graph, is that
possible ?

Hi

I think having multiple fields called put and get will cause confusion for
the graphing module.
You probably want to have a status message that's human readable, and then
send the data you want to graph as a data message, which doesn't appear on
the test page.
If you need it on a test page, you can always send it as HTML, with a tiny
font, and black background and text.
You also probably want to modify your field names to something like
MQ1_put : 21
MQ1_get : 20
MQ2_put : 20
MQ2_get : 20
And use the splitNCV feature to generate and graph multiple datasets.
The above fields will generate 4 lines. You data will create 2, but will
drop some of the values.

Cheers
     Vernon

Great ! now im getting data in two rrd files, i just cant display them,
this is what i put in my graphs.cfg

[mqnet]
        FNPATTERN ^mqnet.(.+).rrd
        TITLE MQ Put Get Times
        YAXIS ms
        DEF:put at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:ms:AVERAGE
        DEF:get at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:ms:AVERAGE
        LINE2:put at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@
        LINE2:get at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@
        GPRINT:put at RRDIDX@:LAST:Put \: %5.1lf%s (cur)
        GPRINT:put at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max)
        GPRINT:put at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min)
        GPRINT:put at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n
        GPRINT:get at RRDIDX@:LAST:Get\: %5.1lf%s (cur)
        GPRINT:get at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max)
        GPRINT:get at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min)
        GPRINT:get at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n

the graphs are just blank, any tips on how to debug this ?

regards

I can think of three different ways to do this type of work in Xymon. A
relative simple way is to use the same way devmon is using.

If you make the output of the script to contain something like:

<!-- linecount=2 -->
<!--DEVMON RRD: XYZ 0 0
DS:put:GAUGE:600:0:U DS:get:GAUGE:600:0:U
mq1 21:20
mq2 20:20
-->

and add to xymonserver.cfg:
TEST2RRD= ...,ABC=devmon

(in which ABC is the name of the test / column), you're done. It will
create for the host for which this test is reported two RRD's called
XYZ.mq1.rrd and XYZ.mq2.rrd. With a suitable graph definition you can show
this in one graph.

2 data files is a good start.
Try something like this

[mqnet]
    FNPATTERN mqnet.(.*).rrd
    TITLE MQ Put Get Times
    YAXIS ms
    -l 0
    DEF:p at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:lambda:AVERAGE
    LINE2:p at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@
    GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.2lf (cur)
    GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.2lf (max)
    GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.2lf (min)
    GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.2lf (avg)\n

Assuming you've used the DEVMON way as described below, you will have two
datasets (DS) in both RRD files. The DS-names are 'put' and 'get'. You can
check this by using 'rrdtool info mqnet*rrd'. If this is correct, you can
change the DEF lines in the graph-definition accordingly, that is replace
ms by put or get.
