Hi,

Running on the new hobbit server, I am seeing these in
/var/log/hobbit/status.log:

2006-10-03 18:05:32 Setup error: Service wraps has a graph "ncv", but
no graph-definition
2006-10-03 18:05:32 Setup error: Service HiFlowNet has a graph "ncv",
but no graph-definition
2006-10-03 18:05:32 Setup error: Service drops has a graph "ncv", but
no graph-definition

I did not see these until I upgraded to the new server version.

Some other info:

Try removing the extra quotes you added to TEST2RRD. In other words, 
instead of using:
drops="ncv",

Juse use:
drops=ncv,

Another thing that I'm not sure about is how you defined 
NCV_drops="*:DERIVE"
My thoughts on this are:
1. Not sure if you can use * as the DS name, I think this should be 
NVC_drops="fdrops:DERIVE"
2. DERIVE is the default DS type, so you may not even have to specify 
those at all.

I'm new to NCV graphs myself, so I am just speculating here and trying 
to help.

I got rid of the NCV_DROPS="*:DERIVE" since that was just testing
anyway, and got rid of the quotes (so drops="ncv" became drops=ncv)

and that fixed my problem. Don't know why the problem only showed up
in the new version, but hey my problem is fixed now, so Im happy!

Thanks!!

Hi,

I'm running hobbit 4.1.2p1 on AIX.  I want to use ncv for graphing.  My self-written test returns a html table.  To get this displayed correctly, I send something like this to the hobbit server:

</pre>
<table>
blabla
</table>
<pre>

This is working fine.  But adding ncv to the mix is causing problems.  Adding the ncv info before </pre> has the result that I have a graph, but the rest is cut off.  Adding ncv after <pre> means no graph and the rrd file is filled with 3 counters.  It looks like hobbit is parsing the <table> and some <tr> lines as counters.

Is it possible that the ncv modules dislikes html code in the message ?

There's a bug in NCV handling prior to 4.2+"ncv-ignoretext.patch". You
can work this around by placing your NCV data right after the first line
(the one with "status hostname.test color ...) and by specifying
explicitly what the names for data source are.

The best way is, of course, to upgrade to 4.2. The upgrade is real
smooth.

as u see they are all drive not guage!!!
and the graph appears with wrong data.. and is therefore drown worng!!
here is my hobbitgraph
[diskIO]
       TITLE diskIO
       YAXIS io
       DEF:diskIO=diskIO.rrd:io:AVERAGE
       LINE2:diskIO#00CCCC:io
       COMMENT:\n
       GPRINT:diskIO:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)
       GPRINT:diskIO:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
       GPRINT:diskIO:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
       GPRINT:diskIO:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

is there something wrong that i did?

the thing is when i put

i get no rrd data
and when i put NCV_diskIO="diskIO:GUAGE" or NCV_diskIO"GUAGE" i get data as fllow

Shouldn't it be GAUGE instead of GUAGE ??
Never heard of a GUAGE datatype, so I guess it's a typo you've made in all your defintions...

Maybe you should try "GAUGE" instead of "GUAGE".
