Hobbit 4.2 and IOSTAT on AIX
list Mike Wood
Hi All, I've seen bits and pieces and references in the archives, but is there a clearly documented process / procedure anywhere for getting iostat graphs functional for AIX clients? Thanks!

Mhh, I only have an iostat for linux page at http://www.docum.org/foswiki/bin/view/Xymon/LinuxIostatGraphs I do have a script for AIX, but I never created a webpage for it to explain how it works and where you can download it. But using the linux script as a guideline, it is not that hard to create an AIX version. Stef

Thanks Stef for the good advice (as usual). I've written my script for AIX, and followed the Linux webpage, but I've got a few problems. The biggest issue is that the values on the graph are too small for the data being submitted. • I suspect it has something to do with my lack of understanding the finer points of RRD. My RRD output is aggregated by volume group. Here is a sample: [iostat-vg.data02_FDEV.rrd] DS:tps:GAUGE:600:0:U 2451.5 DS:Kb_read:DERIVE:600:0:U 19336 DS:Kb_wrtn:DERIVE:600:0:U 48 And here is my graph definition in hobbitgraph.cfg: [iostat-vg] TITLE VG aggregate read and write YAXIS KB/s FNPATTERN iostat-vg.(.*).rrd DEF:Kb_read at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:Kb_read:AVERAGE LINE2:Kb_read at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@ read KB/s GPRINT:Kb_read at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %8.1lf (cur) GPRINT:Kb_read at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %8.1lf (max) GPRINT:Kb_read at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %8.1lf (min) GPRINT:Kb_read at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %8.1lf (avg)\n DEF:Kb_wrtn2 at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:Kb_wrtn:AVERAGE CDEF:Kb_wrtn at RRDIDX@=0,Kb_wrtn2 at RRDIDX@,- LINE2:Kb_wrtn at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@ wrtn KB/s GPRINT:Kb_wrtn2 at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %8.1lf (cur) GPRINT:Kb_wrtn2 at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %8.1lf (max) GPRINT:Kb_wrtn2 at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %8.1lf (min) GPRINT:Kb_wrtn2 at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %8.1lf (avg)\n So why would the values for this hot VG be graphed at no more than 50? What am I missing? Thanks in advance?

I solved my own problem by changing the DERIVE to GAUGE.
