No graph from RRD data

Hi all,

Following problem keeps me busy several days now....

I'm using hobbit 4.2.0.

I want to create a custom graph and use ncv to create the rrd file.
I receive data from a custom script on the client, a column "usage" appears on the hobbit display.
The rrd file is created, but no graph is created, what's wrong??


In the data is a parameter in the following format:
usage:1
 
hobbitserver.cfg is configured:
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,.....,usage=ncv"
GRAPHS="la,disk,......,usage"
NCV_usage="usage:GAUGE"

This works fine, a file named usage.rrd is created.

Dump from usage.rrd:
<!-- Round Robin Database Dump -->
<rrd>
        <version> 0001 </version>
        <step> 300 </step> <!-- Seconds -->

                <unknown_sec> 0 </unknown_sec>
        </ds>

hobbitgraph.cfg is configured:

        GPRINT:u:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
        GPRINT:u:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

Result: no graph is being displayed, what is missing or am I doing wrong?

The RRD isn't picking up the right value, you put
NCV_usage="usage:GAUGE" but in the rrd you're getting :

<ds>
                <name> usage </name>
                <type> DERIVE </type> <-- this is the default

Can you please send the output message hobbit displays for this status.
Also do you see a hyperlink at the bottom of the status saying anything
like ncv status graph?

It's just now showing the right value. It should be "1" and the graph is showing "0".
Here's the status page from the test:

Try the spaces thing, that's how mine are layed out though not sure if
it makes a difference, but just to check when you put "In GRAPHS= change
usage to ncv" what did you change? This should be what it looks like:

hobbitserver.cfg is configured:
 TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,.....,usage=ncv"

 NCV_usage="usage:GAUGE" # I seriously doubt where this line goes makes
a  
     difference but that's where mine is

 GRAPHS="la,disk,......,usage"

         GPRINT:u:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
         GPRINT:u:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

The other thing to check is can you see the graph in the trends column?

Subject: [hobbit] No graph from RRD data

Hi all,

Following problem keeps me busy several days now....

I'm using hobbit 4.2.0.

I want to create a custom graph and use ncv to create the rrd file.
I receive data from a custom script on the client, a column "usage"
appears on the hobbit display.
The rrd file is created, but no graph is created, what's wrong??


In the data is a parameter in the following format:
usage:1

hobbitserver.cfg is configured:
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,.....,usage=ncv"
GRAPHS="la,disk,......,usage"
NCV_usage="usage:GAUGE"

This works fine, a file named usage.rrd is created.

Dump from usage.rrd:
<!-- Round Robin Database Dump -->
<rrd>
        <version> 0001 </version>
        <step> 300 </step> <!-- Seconds -->
        <lastupdate> 1164183687 </lastupdate> <!-- 2006-11-22 09:21:27
CET -->

        <ds>
                <name> usage </name>
                <type> DERIVE </type>
                <minimal_heartbeat> 600 </minimal_heartbeat>
                <min> 0.0000000000e+00 </min>
                <max> NaN </max>

                <!-- PDP Status -->
                <last_ds> 1 </last_ds>
                <value> 0.0000000000e+00 </value>
                <unknown_sec> 0 </unknown_sec>
        </ds>

hobbitgraph.cfg is configured:
[usage]
        TITLE Usage
        YAXIS # Users
        DEF:u=usage.rrd:usage:AVERAGE
        COMMENT:\n
        GPRINT:u:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)
        GPRINT:u:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
        GPRINT:u:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
        GPRINT:u:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

Result: no graph is being displayed, what is missing or am I doing
wrong?

Regards,

Johan Rutten

These don't match. I guess your Hobbit created the rrd file using the
default DERIVE datatype, before you remembered to put in the NCV_usage
setting. That's why your graph stays at 0 - DERIVE tracks changes,
whereas GAUGE tracks absolute values.

Make sure that hobbitd_rrd has been restarted after you changed the
NCV_usage setting. Then delete the rrd file; the next time Hobbit
creates it it should have the correct dataset type, and your graph
should start showing the values you expect.

Great!
Now the rrd file has the right type and the data shows up in the graph, but graph is showed on the trends page only.

My hobbitserver.cfg:
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,...,usage=ncv"
NCV_usage="usage:GAUGE"
GRAPHS="la,disk,...,usage"

How can I get the graph on the status page from the "usage" test?

We love Hobbit here. We used to based on BB and well most of you know
why people have switched. Everything we monitor is behind a several
firewalls so the port is not an issue (for now.)
 
Our stats are already the list :-)

Is your installation already mentioned  in R1 ? if not would you mind to
add yourself in ?

Also how did you deal with unencrypted port 1984 issue ?
Did you use stunnel ? 

Happy Thanksgiving to you too
