It's rather tricky, there is no simple way to do that. Basically, you'll have to scan the graphs.cfg file to see what filename-patterns exist, then scan the directory holding the RRD files for a host to check the actual filenames against the patterns from graphs.cfg. Xymon's showgraph tool does that, but there is no simple way of exporting that information to other tools. And the way it is done makes it difficult when adding new graphs, or to control which graphs are actually displayed for a given host. Regards, Henrik

See my e-mail of 2 days ago (RE: [Xymon] Problem adding GRAPHS in xymonserver.cfg (known bug?)) for related issues - what is described above is how it should work, but in practice it seems to look for RRD files matching graph definitions - i.e. graphname.*.rrd as a first pass before getting to the FNPATTERN step when it actually generates the graph image. In other words, svcstatus.sh doesn't use FNPATTERN but showgraph.sh does. Even if svcstatus.sh did use FNPATTERN, some graphs will appear multiple times on the trends page but others only once.
