New graph display problems. 🔗 link

I have created a new test in DEVMON and now have an issue with it not
displaying the graphs in the status page. It is displaying fine in the
trends page. In testing this I found that the only devmon test that is
displaying in the status page is if_load. 

I am at work and as such am blocked from searching the archives to see
if that has been answered already.

How are you processing the devmon data into the RRD? What have you
added
to TEST2RRD= line in hobbitserver.cfg (or server.cfg on 4.3)?

I have found that if you use TEST2RRD="mytest=devmon" then it won't
display on the mytest page. if_load may be hard-coded to be handled by
devmon RRD handler (haven't checked the source).

My workaround was to copy the hobbitserver.cfg to say hobbithostcgi.cfg
and remove the =devmon substrings, then change hobbitcgi.cfg to use the
new file

# hobbitsvc.cgi options for a normal (current) status display
CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbithostcgi.cfg
--no-svcid --history=top"
#CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
--no-svcid --history=top"

Yes it is in xymonserver.cfg  And I am running 4.3.0

# status view of a test should include a graph.
TEST2RRD="if_dsc=devmon,if_load=devmon,temp=devmon,itp_msu=devmon,cpu=la,disk,

I have found that if you use TEST2RRD="mytest=devmon" then it won't
display on the mytest page. if_load may be hard-coded to be handled by
devmon RRD handler (haven't checked the source).

My workaround was to copy the hobbitserver.cfg to say hobbithostcgi.cfg
and remove the =devmon substrings, then change hobbitcgi.cfg to use the
new file

Xymon 4.3.0 has "cgioptions.cfg" 

# hobbitsvc.cgi options for a normal (current) status display
CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbithostcgi.cfg
--no-svcid --history=top"
#CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
--no-svcid --history=top"

This is not this way in 4.3.0

XYMONENV=/usr/local/bb/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg

# svcstatus.cgi options for a normal (current) status display
CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=$XYMONENV --no-svcid --history=top"

I will change the $ XYMONENV to the new config file with the =devmon removed as you suggested and see what happens. Would this not just be the same as just leving things as they are and just removing the =devmon from the current xymonserver.cfg file?

Kevin,

added

Yes it is in xymonserver.cfg  And I am running 4.3.0

# status view of a test should include a graph.

I have found that if you use TEST2RRD="mytest=devmon" then it won't
display on the mytest page. if_load may be hard-coded to be handled
by
devmon RRD handler (haven't checked the source).

My workaround was to copy the hobbitserver.cfg to say
hobbithostcgi.cfg
and remove the =devmon substrings, then change hobbitcgi.cfg to use
the
new file

Xymon 4.3.0 has "cgioptions.cfg"

I haven't bitten the bullet on migrating to 4.3 yet so I haven't got
the
new filenames burnt in yet ;)

# hobbitsvc.cgi options for a normal (current) status display
CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbithostcgi.cfg
--no-svcid --history=top"
#CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
--no-svcid --history=top"

This is not this way in 4.3.0

XYMONENV=/usr/local/bb/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg

# svcstatus.cgi options for a normal (current) status display
CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=$XYMONENV --no-svcid --history=top"

I will change the $ XYMONENV to the new config file with the =devmon
removed as you suggested and see what happens. Would this not just be
the same as just leving things as they are and just removing the

=devmon from the current xymonserver.cfg file?
If you remove =devmon then the RRD data collector won't process the
data
reported by devmon into the RRD files. So you have a choice - data but
no graph, or graph but no data - neither that useful :(
