how to handle several extra-scripts for hobbitd_rrd
list Martin Flemming
Hi !
I've got the problem, to use several extra-scripts for hobbitd_rrd
e.g. extragraph.sh,devmon-rrd.pl or the new one flexlmpl ...
The manual says only to use one file for extra-script
--extra-script=FILENAME
Defines the script that is run to get the RRD data for tests that are not built into hobbitd_rrd. You must also specify which tests are handled by the external script in the --extra-tests option. This option can only be given once, so the script must handle all of the external test-data. See the CUSTOM RRD DATA section below. Note that this is NOT needed if your custom graphs are generated by the NCV (Name Colon Value) module described below, it is only required for data where you have a custom script to parse the status message and extract the data that is put into the graph.
But how could i handle this ?
Only append one script after the other one into a simple shell-script ?
Or have i to write a hole new one for this ?
.. thinking many other Xymon's should have this "problem" ?
thanks & cheers

I use one (perl) script in which each test defined in the --extra-tests option appears in an if-elsif chain. Some of them use NCV formatted like "<FileName>/<DataSetName> : <Value>", and they use the same piece of code in the script. A stripped version of this script is published together with flexlm.pl on xymonton.
