Creating Custom Graphs

Hi,

I am trying to create new custom graph.

I am getting the following data in "status" and "data" channels under iostat -

c0d0p7-rps:0.00
c0d0p7-wps:15.01
c0d0p1-rps:0.00
c0d0p1-wps:0.00
c0d0p10-rps:0.00
c0d0p10-wps:4.60

I have added a record to hobbitgraph.cfg -

[iostat]
        FNPATTERN iostat(.*).rrd
        TITLE Disk IO
        YAXIS % Full
        DEF:p at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:pct:AVERAGE
        LINE2:p at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@

        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

I have added the iostat to TEST2RRD and GRAPHS in hobbitserver.cfg.

I have added a record to hobbitlaunch.cfg -

[rrdstatus]

        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=status --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/rrd-status.log hobbitd_rrd --rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd --extra-test=i

I have also added iostat to bb-hosts.

Unfortunately I am not getting the RRD graphs.

Any idea/suggestion what could be the problem?

Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.

Hi,

I think you need to write a script for getting rrd files created.

Check if you have the rrd files of iostat in data/rrd/anyhost (anyhost

Hi,

Include these lines in the loop

echo $line >> foo
echo $v >> foo

observer foo with tail -f

this is one of the way that you can debug your script.

Good luck.

Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.

I assume you are wanting to have these rrd files generated by the ncv handler, 
in which case you also need to:

-add ncv to GRAPHS (so GRAPHS should include both iostat and ncv)
-add "iostat=ncv" to TEST2RRD (instead of just "iostat")
-add a line that looks something like this:
ncv_iostat="c0d0p7-rps:GAUGE,c0d0p7-wps:GAUGE,c0d0p1-rps:GAUGE,c0d0p1-wps:GAUGE,c0d0p10-rps:GAUGE,c0d0p10-wps:GAUGE

Hi all,

our servers are reporting to hobbit using virtual hostnames. For some reasons not all names report all the time. So once a host is not sending information, hobbit turns this test or host to "purple". Up to now I always dropped the host/test then, but so all historical information gets lost. Normal disable is no option as we nether know how long a hostname want be used (it may be a long time). Is there a way of turnijng of purple/disabling a host permanently without loosing its data?

Thanks
Rolf

You can do it globally by running Hobbit with the "--no-purple" option.

On a per-host basis, the "dialup" directive will do this - but it has
the side-effect of disabling alerts for network tests.

Hi,

I have noticed that I am getting the info of iostat throw hobbitd daemon.

The data isn't received throw "hobbitd_channel --channel=status" or "hobbitd_channel --channel=data" - which can explain why I am not getting the rrd graphs.

I am just using "data" or "status" in the header of my message to hobbit server.
how can I send data to the data or status channel ?

I have added a record to hobbitgraph.cfg -

[iostat]
        FNPATTERN iostat(.*).rrd
        TITLE Disk IO
        YAXIS % Full
        DEF:p at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:pct:AVERAGE
        LINE2:p at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@

        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)

        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

I have added the iostat to TEST2RRD and GRAPHS in hobbitserver.cfg.

I have added a record to hobbitlaunch.cfg -

[rrdstatus]
        ENVFILE
/clalapp/hobbit_monitor/hobbit_server/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS
hobbitd
        CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=status
--log=$BBSERVERLOGS/rrd-status.log hobbitd_rrd --rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd
--extra-test=i ostat

# "rrddata" updates RRD files with information that arrives as "data"
messages. # If you want RRD graphs of your monitoring BB data, then you
want to run this.

[rrddata]
        ENVFILE
/clalapp/hobbit_monitor/hobbit_server/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS
hobbitd
        CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=data  
--log=$BBSERVERLOGS/rrd-data.log hobbitd_rrd --rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd
--extra-test=ios tat


I have also added iostat to bb-hosts.

Unfortunately I am not getting the RRD graphs.

Any idea/suggestion what could be the problem?

Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.

I assume you are wanting to have these rrd files generated by the ncv handler, 
in which case you also need to:

-add ncv to GRAPHS (so GRAPHS should include both iostat and ncv)
-add "iostat=ncv" to TEST2RRD (instead of just "iostat")
-add a line that looks something like this:
ncv_iostat="c0d0p7-rps:GAUGE,c0d0p7-wps:GAUGE,c0d0p1-rps:GAUGE,c0d0p1-wps:GAUGE,c0d0p10-rps:GAUGE,c0d0p10-wps:GAUGE

in hobbitserver.cfg

I have some Solaris servers that I can't install the xymon binaries on so I'm going to try writing my own scripts to replicate the default xymon data.  I successfully tested sending messages directly to port 1984 from my client to my xymon server, but I'm not clear on how data that is in graphs is sent/generated.  For instance, if I wanted to generate a cpu graph, I can send the cpu values but I'm not sure what I would then need to do in order to generate the rrd graphs.  Can anyone point me toward any documentation for this?

thanks,
EJ

You might want to take a look at Jeremy Laidman's excellent xymon-rclient
script:

     http://tools.rebel-it.com.au/xymon-rclient

Nothing needs installing on the client server, as long as you can shell
into it.

The data for the various graphs are extracted from the client data
message.  Once you get the client data delivered properly, the graphs
automagically appear.

I have a follow up question - I'm now able to get an rrd file generated on my xymon server - woot!  But I don't have a graph to go along with it.  I'm using data message type and this is what is in my rrd file - I'm under the impression that this should create a graph that shows up in my trends page, but no graph on trends page. The value that I'm sending is solcpu : 2  (percent cpu used).  I'm guessing that is what is the the <last_ds> 2 </last_ds> field.  Does anyone know what the other fields are?

If you want the graph included with the other graphs on the trends column, you must add it to the GRAPHS setting in the ~xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg file.
            GRAPHS="la,disk,<... lots more ...>,xymonproxy,xymond,slab"
You might also need to add it to the line
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk ..."

Sorry I don't know about the rrd data question.

The whole "solcpu"  DS block describes the data set being collected.
You'll need to check the manual pages on creating custom graphs and create
an entry in server/etc/graphs.cfg to match the column name and the solcpu
DS that you're reporting.
