You "tried" to get that patch, so did you applied it or not?  Because you
really need it.  I attached the patch that apply's cleanly together with
the
allinone patch.

patch -p0 < trends.patch
patch -p1 < 1-allinone.patch

I see these files:
disk,boot.rrd  disk,opt.rrd   disk,tmp.rrd  disk,u02.rrd  disk,u04.rrd
disk,usr.rrd
disk,home.rrd  disk,root.rrd  disk,u01.rrd  disk,u03.rrd  disk,u05.rrd

No, you need iostat-*.rrd files.

What you need to get iostat rrd files:

- the trends patch on the server so it understand trends messages
  -> see the attached patch on my previous post

- the iostat script on the client so it sends trends messages
  -> if you have the logfile on the client, the script is running fine, you
can try to enable the debug option in the script so you can see what's send
to the server.

If you do so, there should be some output in the logfile.  You can also
execute the script on the command line and see what output it generates.

This is the output executed on my laptop:

 "data .trends

Indeed, the data is collected and send to the server.  Are you really
really
really sure you applied the trends patch and restarted the hobbit server?

No errors on the server in log/rrd-data.log and log/rrd-status.log ?

In my configuration,  it already shows the iostat read/write graphs per
logical partitions ( sdc, sdd, sde ) in trends column but  i cant see the
graphs per partitions or mount points for example graphs for (  /u03,
/u04,  .. /u07 ).  I am missing something in my config ?

No.  The info is send to the hobbit by partition / disk, so it can only be 
graphed by parition / disk.

You can make ths by hand if you really want if you a put definition per mount point in hobbitgraph.cfg and point it to the correct partition.  Or you can create a symbolic link and include the mount point name and use the same trick as the disk graphs to get the mount point.

I will try do this on my own box if you have the time today.

sda1 is my / fs, so I create a symbolic link:

sdb5 is my /home/users fs, so I create a symbolic link:

I never used that report myself, but after a search, I found the file
web/hostgraphs_form.  In this file, you find the definition of the form:
    <option value="ALL" SELECTED>ALL</option>
    <option value="cpu">CPU load (Windows/Unix)</option>

    <option value="disk">Disk</option>
    <option value="memory">RAM/Swap</option>

You can add extra lines.  The value must be a valid graph like iostat-disk.
Example. add the line
    <option value="iostat-disk">Iostat: disk</option>
And try the report.

Ai, an other hijacked thread .....

4.2.2 is the same as 4.2.0 + patches + rename to xymon.

I don't thinkg there is client for os/400 or iSeries.  You can do remote monitoring (ping, port check, ....).
I also think there is a perl bb commando that can be used on any system that has perl installed.
