Trending too many interfaces - see regex
list Tim McCloskey
Colin, I've not had the time, desire or opportunity to play with any of the newish RedHat releases and associated gizmos. This said, I accept that your 'ifconfig rhevm' returns data in the same format as 'ifconfig eth0'. Most linux interface names end with some number, or are called 'lo'. 'rhevm' does not seem to follow that norm. I suspect trending of rhevm might be failing for this reason. In xymon-4.3.2/xymond/rrd/do_ifstat.c on line 22 we see the following regex: ^([a-z]+[0123456789.:]+|lo) Remove the localhost part and it looks like this: ^([a-z]+[0123456789.:]+) Expand that and we have: ^rhevm+[0-9.:]+ To me, that looks like rhevm by itself is not a match. Folks who actually write the code / have a clue about GNU C regex / can probably address this better than I.

Yep, in /usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymonclient-linux.sh I have:
---
# Bug in RedHat's netstat spews annoying error messages.
netstat -ant 2>/dev/null
echo "[ifstat]"
/sbin/ifconfig lo
/sbin/ifconfig bond2
/sbin/ifconfig rhevm

However there is no rhevm interface listed on the trending page.

ifconfig doesn't accept regular expressions as input (well, mine doesn't anyway). Try running it manually. You'll probably need to pre-parse the interface(s).

The regex is not part of an ifconfig command, it's what part of the code is using to parse / process the client data report. Tim

It would be great if the patch against do_ifstat.c could go in upstream.
Also, how would I get rid of the client side hack and put it into the

It may be way off anyway :) If you are talking about the trends/"Network Traffic" graph it seems to be getting that data from the 'ifstat' var. Some details follow. 1. what we graph for ifstat hobbitgraph.cfg: FNPATTERN ifstat.(.+).rrd See data/rrd/$hostname/ifstat.* 2. where ifstat originates client/hobbitclient-linux.sh: echo "[ifstat]" /sbin/ifconfig 3. what happens to ifstat hobbitd/client/linux.c: ifstatstr = getdata("ifstat"); hobbitd/client/linux.c: unix_ifstat_report(hostname, clienttype, os, hinfo, fromline, timestr, ifstatstr); <--- ifstatstr You should be able to modify the client shell script to report other than ifconfig -a (which seems to be what is currently captured). Of course, there must be a better way.
