Custom RRD Graph Alerting
list Bill Richardson
I have several custom graphs being built in Xymon and would like to alert on the values in the rrd files being generated. I first setup the graphs just to get some kind of idea for trending and now after a few months of graphing I see what is good and what is bad and would like to alert. Has anyone been down this road? Just looking for other ways to get alerts without having to build and touch several systems custom scripts. I found a perl script on cpan that should be able to do this. This may be a way to simplify custom graph alerts by just having the Xymon client on the Xymon server run this script every 5 minutes. Thoughts? http://search.cpan.org/~rsoliv/rrdpoller/Threshold.pm Bill

AFAIK, this feature is (or will be) available natively in the 4.4 branch. Regards, Buchan

Sounds like a good idea. Are you talking about watching for upward trends etc? I use the RRD data to produce quarterly reports that remove insignificant data using the Perl RRDTool module.

I didnt think about the upward trends. Hhmm I will have to take a look at the Perl RRDTool module.
