use of aberrant behavior detection 🔗 link

Hi

 
We are using xymon/devmon pair and we want to use for some tests the
"aberrant behavior detection" of RRDTOOL. Could someone please tell me
what changes are necessary in XYMON configuration files to do so? I saw
a similar question in the mail list back in 2005 but with no answer. 

 
Best regards

 
Mario Contreras

You need to change the "rrddefinitions.cfg" file to include the RRDtool definitions for the Holt-Winters datasets. Since the rrd-definitions are set when the rrd-file is created, you must delete any existing rrd-files before this change takes effect.

Thank you Henrik for your answer. But that file is not present in my installation:

You're running an older version of Xymon, then. This was introduced in 4.3.0, I believe. So it's time to upgrade.

In the older versions of Xymon, the RRD definitions were hardcoded into the hobbitd_rrd module.
