Example of rrd.meta use ?
list Joel Carnat
Hello, I'm writing a script to show disk temperature. I read about "RRDMETA" that "(...)if you create a file called rrd.meta in the hosts rrd directory, it will lookup a legend in this file(...)". But I didn't found the information about the format and how it is used by xymon. What is the preferred way to fill-in such rrd.meta file ? Is there any xymon command (like status or data) to use or does it have to be edited statically ? TIA, Jo

Please forget about it :-/ It's a very ugly hack, and I've been tempted more than once to rip it out because it is just too disgusting to keep in the code. What exactly are you trying to do with the graphs that make you look into this ? Regards, Henrik

I have a script that polls disks temperature from a NAS. Right now, the graph writes "disk#". I planned to use META to indicate the disk serial number or model. -- e-mail different.
