Tag to make NCV engine ignore status text
list Scot Kreienkamp
Hey everyone, I know there's a tag that I can include in status messages so xymon ignores all the text between the tag and /tag, so that the values don't get picked up by the NCV engine. But I can't find that tag anywhere. Can anyone remember what it is? Thanks!

If you are referring to the web page output, just wrap the ncv area in html comment tags... <!-- NCV Data foo: 7 bar: 34 --> This will still let the data be parsed by NCV but will hide it from the browser and not clutter that screen. =G= On Wed, Sep 13, 2017 at 5:30 PM, Scot Kreienkamp <

If you want to have RRD graphing ignore the data, but still display it on the web page: Use <!-- ncv_skip --> at the start of the line to skip the whole line. Or use <!-- ncv_ignore --> </--> to ignore only certain parts of the line. I'm not sure if this works for multiple lines or not (I've only used it to ignore parts of a line). Hope this helps! -- Matt Vander Werf

Oh...and if you want to keep NCV from looking at general output...convert the delimiter to the html encoding in your message stream...so for foo=7 and bar=34... foo=7 bar=34 It's a hacky kludge but it works...it would be nice if NCV had a block delimiter like devmon uses. (<!-- NCV Begin --> <!--NCV End --> or some such).

Looks like this is formally documented in xymond_rrd(8) man page (and
there's more options to use too):
Any lines in the status message prepended with a "<!-- ncv_skip
-->" will be skipped by the module. This can be used to prevent unneeded
RRD files
from an existing dataset from being created.
A line prepended with a "<!-- ncv_skipstart -->" will be ignored,
along with all subsequent lines until a line starting with "<!--
ncv_skipend -->"
is found, at which point processing will resume. This can be used to
ignore explanatory or other text with a mostly-ncv message.
"<!-- ncv_ignore -->" can be used to ignore certain text at the
beginning of a line, up until a closing '</-->' tag on the same line, at
which point
the line will continue to be processed as usual. Wrapping is not
supported; but skipstart/skipend can be used to handle multiple lines.
A bare "<!-- ncv_end -->" on its own line will stop further NCV
processing of that message.
All of these ncv_ terms are case-sensitive. Note that if you have
full control over your NCV output, it is most efficient to have NCV data
near the
top of your message and use "<!-- ncv_end -->" once your data is
complete.

That’s the one I was looking for. I’ll have to add it to my notes this time. In my case it’s picking up a border=1 html table tag in the NCV engine. Thanks!

That’s a great tip! That’ll let me quit using a secondary data message for NCV. Thanks!

I believe the tags you're referring to are the ones listed in the xymond_rrd module manpage ( http://xymon.sourceforge.net/xymon/help/manpages/man8/xymond_rrd.8.html#lbah ). Available for use is: <!-- ncv_skip --> <!-- ncv_skipstart --> <!-- ncv_skipend --> <!-- ncv_ignore -->...</--> <!-- ncv_end --> Erik D.
