Missing trends graph

Hello,

Yesterday I've added a custom (server side) script to extract and show some statistics of a Windows DNS server, which uses "trends" message to inform Xymon version 4.3.13. Everything seems to work, only the graph with the statistics is not shown in test "trends".

The RRD file is build and if in the URL of an arbitrary graph in "trends" the service is replaced by the name of the new test, which is wdnsstats, the expected graph is displayed. The name of the test is mentioned in both TEST2RRD and GRAPHS in file xymonserver.cfg, and a "TRENDS:*,wdnsstat" tag is specified for the host.

Strangely enough, there is another custom test (showing the DNS statistics of a BIND server) which works in the same way, which is configured in the same way and whose graph is shown in in test "trends".

What can be done to get the new custom graph to show up in "trends"?

Regards,
   Wim Nelis.

so, test name is "wdnsstats"

the expected graph is displayed. The name of the test is mentioned in both
TEST2RRD and GRAPHS in file xymonserver.cfg, and a "TRENDS:*,wdnsstat" tag
is specified for the host.
so you're adding "wdnsstat" to TRENDS.

"wdnsstats" != "wdnsstat"

I found the answer to my question.

It turns out that the name of the RRD with the "wdnsstats" data should be 
"wdnsstats.rrd". After changing the names of the RRDs, their content is 
shown in the "trends" test.
