Custom graph no rrd files

I am not getting rrd files generate for a custom graph:

bb client message:

bb machine1 'status machine2.grpwiseusr green Thur Oct 25 09:46:42 EDT 2007
grpwiseusr : 812'

hobbitserver.cfg

.....
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,...,ncv,grpwiseusr=ncv"

NCV_grpwiseusr="*:GAUGE"

GRAPHS="la,ncv,...,grpwiseusr"

.....................

Should I at this point see rrd files ? I see them for the built in scripts.

I think  the message:

▸ quoted from Martin Roby

bb machine1 'status machine2.grpwiseusr green Thur Oct 25 09:46:42 EDT 2007
grpwiseusr : 812'


should be formatted

▸ quoted from Martin Roby

bb machine1 'status machine2.grpwiseusr green Thur Oct 25 09:46:42 EDT 2007
grpwiseusr : 812
'


You need a newline after (and before) the data for the ncv handler...

Hello,

Did I find a bug? I use the mpstat and zonestat info to create .rrd's
and they all display fine within trends. Hobbit is the latest with
patches and devmon is the latest version also running on a Solaris 10
global.

I asked this question a couple of weeks ago, but had no response. I have
tried to dig for additional answers via Google and Dogpile with little
success so, I'm hoping someone may know the answer or can point me to
the source code to track it down.

I am using devmon to generate some .rrds and columns to track some Cisco
stuff. Within devmon I am generating .rrd files for cpucisco and ifload
(I took out any underbars based on info I read about). The same perl
script is creating all the .rrd files. The cpucisco.rrd graph shows up
in trends and the cpucisco column, but the ifload(.*).rrd graphs only
show up within the ifload column.


Here are some of the background info:

Due to the cut and paste, some lines may look like multiple lines but
are not.

Directory of typical data/rrd directory:

I have modified the original ifload to combine the in and out to a
single line and then made the original to be the ifloaddet graph. I also
tried the original way with the ifloaddet graph as ifload only.

I am not using ncv as the perl script is creating the graph data into
the .rrd files.


Settings with bb-hosts (for security I had to x out the ip address and
change some of the names...)

X.x.x.x     B5-7204-INET    # conn COMMENT:"Cisco 7204" DEVMON

TRENDS:*,ifload  
X.x.x.x     INET-6509-2     # conn COMMENT:"Cisco 6509-2" TRENDS:*
DEVMON

As noted above I have tried many different ways to force ifload and
ifloaddet to show up within the TRENDS column.

Here is an example from the same bb-host file where the mpstat* and
zonestat* stuff works.

And here is the hobbitlaunch.cfg

--extra-tests=cpucisco,ifload
--extra-script=/export/home/hobbit/server/ext/extra-rrd.pl
--rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd

I did not include the extra-script.pl, but its basically the same as
what others had used.

Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Tom,

Have you seen these things ever graph anywhere?  One thing that could
prevent them from showing up is a bad graph definition.

The graph is showing up perfectly within the column page (ifload). I
have no data missing and can double click and get the extend graphs with
zoom.

I have modified the original ifload to combine the in and out to a
single line and then made the original to be the ifloaddet graph. I also
tried the original way with the ifloaddet graph as ifload only.

As noted above I have tried many different ways to force ifload and
ifloaddet to show up within the TRENDS column.

Here is an example from the same bb-host file where the mpstat* and

I did not include the extra-script.pl, but its basically the same as
what others had used.

Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.

I received an answer from Buchan Milne on the devmon list and his answer
fixed my problem.

The jest of it is:

I need to have my rrd files look like this: ifload.Gi00.rrd instead of
ifloadGi00.rrd. I had to change the FNPATTERN to match. I don't know if
this is a bug or was made to do this on purpose. Now that I know, I can
work around the issue.


Also in case anyone is interested, I do two different graphs in trends.

Note the original if_load is actually my ifloaddet. The network team
wanted to see the in and out combined in the column, but get the
individual detail in trends.

In hobbitgraph.cfg

In the bb-host you need to do this:

X.x.x.x       Cisco-dev-dns       # conn COMMENT:"Cisco 7204" DEVMON
TRENDS:*,ifload:ifload|ifloaddet 

Again, many thanks to Buchan Milne on the Devmon list.

Subject: [hobbit] No graph in Trends but shows up in the column

Hello,

Did I find a bug? I use the mpstat and zonestat info to create .rrd's
and they all display fine within trends. Hobbit is the latest with
patches and devmon is the latest version also running on a Solaris 10
global.

I asked this question a couple of weeks ago, but had no response. I have
tried to dig for additional answers via Google and Dogpile with little
success so, I'm hoping someone may know the answer or can point me to
the source code to track it down.

I am using devmon to generate some .rrds and columns to track some Cisco
stuff. Within devmon I am generating .rrd files for cpucisco and ifload
(I took out any underbars based on info I read about). The same perl
script is creating all the .rrd files. The cpucisco.rrd graph shows up
in trends and the cpucisco column, but the ifload(.*).rrd graphs only
show up within the ifload column.

Here are some of the background info:

Due to the cut and paste, some lines may look like multiple lines but
are not.

Directory of typical data/rrd directory:

-rw-r--r--   1 hobbit   hobbit     19572 Oct 25 12:56 cpucisco.rrd
-rw-r--r--   1 hobbit   hobbit     38556 Oct 25 12:55 ifloadFa00.rrd
