Hi Ian,

I'm assuming you're using the filemon script. I don't believe that generates "graphable" data for Xymon to use.

Regards,
Malcolm

Subject: [Bbwin-help] BBwin client not generating filesnames*.rrd file, hence no files graph

Hi,

I’ve recently installed Xymon v4.3.20 on to Ubuntu and have a windows client running BBWin 0.13.

I’m TRACKing a directory C:\Temp and Xymon and the Files dot shows the directory and size okay. But I don’t get any graph showing at the bottom of the page.

I get a magnifying glass only.


If I touch the file in ~/data/rrd//filenames,C:\Temp.rrd so that it is empty, I then get a small box with the words “xymongraph files” next to the magnifying glass.

If I drill down on that, the next page shows me 4 similar boxes saying, hourly graph, daily graph, weekly graph and monthly graph.


Obviously the rrd file is not being generated with the appropriate data. But I don’t know what I am missing.


I have this configured for the hostname in analysis.cfg “DIR %TEMP% TRACK”

I have this configured for the client after it’s hostname “dir:C:\Temp”


Thanks for help, terrific product by the way.


Ian Evans

Thanks so much for the reply Malcolm.  I hope I’m replying correctly to the addresses.

I’m not using filemon, I have kept changes to a minimum and only changed the client-local.cfg to include the central server info and report centrally.

I’ve tried to keep things minimal and wanted to track a directory, and thought the TRACK option would allow me to keep the history of it.

Perhaps I will need to gather this information myself and then send it to the Trend graphs myself, I assume that is where filemon comes into it.
