Need Help Migrating RRD data 🔗 link

Hello,


So, I wrote a Hobbit(xymon) Script that gives the number of users
accessing specific URL's which goes into the RRD database.

I now want to track the number of users accessing another
URL, so I modified my hobbit script and the hobbitgraph.cfg.

However, I can't see the new data. What's the easiest way to
get the new value into the RRD database?

I know I can just remove the existing database and have it
re-create the database and it will start pulling the new data.

However, I want my old data from the other values in there
in addition to the new one.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Don't blame me it it screws up your rrd, but I attached the script that I
use. It searches a predefined directory (/home/users/hobbit/data/rrd/) for
the files vmstat.rrd to add a DS.  I used this to add 2 extra counters from
Power5 CPU virtualisation.

Hello,


I never did get any replies on this one, so I thought I'd send it again.


What's the best way to do this? Remove the file and let xymon (hobbit)

re-create the database and then try to export and import the old data?

Is there a way to add the new column?


Any help would really be appreciate. I don't want to loose the old data.


Thanks.James

Subject: [hobbit] Down time criteria before sending alert.

Hi all,
I would naturally think that a threshold can also represent the time
something is "down" before an email is sent.

For example, if the conn for a printer is off for 5 minutes, I don't
want to
be notified, but I do, after 15 minutes.

For a critical server, it would be down for 3 minutes, before I get
notified.

Ummm what is that feature called, since its not threshold, and where do
I
configure that?

Thanks!!


William
