How to debug showgraph.sh? 🔗 link

Hello,

I'm sure I saw a way to run showgraph.sh from the command-line in order
to debug problems with it. As far as I remember it required setting the
variable QUERY and perhaps some others before running it. I have looked,
but cannot find how this was done.

Can anyone offer any help here?

(I have 4 client status pages for a local test which are not showing a
graph, but are showing a link where the graph should be. The
corresponding 'trends' page shows the graphs (so obviously RRD is
working okay, and the graphs do exist). Also I have one client which
does show the graph on the status page. So I want to see why one works
and four fail.)


Thanks,

John.

If you have a graph link in your browser like

http://www.xymon.com/xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh?host=jorn.hswn.dk&service=la&graph_width=864&graph_height=180&disp=jorn.hswn.dk&nostale&color=green&graph_start=1343160394&graph_end=1343419594&graph=hourly&action=view

(taken from the "cpu" graph on the www.xymon.com site), then you can run 
it "by hand" with:


REQUEST_METHOD=GET
SCRIPT_NAME=showgraph.sh
QUERY_STRING="host=jorn.hswn.dk&service=la&graph_width=864&graph_height=180&disp=jorn.hswn.dk&nostale&color=green&graph_start=1343160394&graph_end=1343419594&graph=hourly&action=view" 
(i.e. everything after the "?" in the URL)

export REQUEST_METHOD SCRIPT_NAME QUERY_STRING

xymoncmd showgraph.cgi

You could also insert this into showgraph.sh

     env > /tmp/showgraph.out

to save the query string and other things.  Add in the export & xymoncmd
lines and you have a script to fiddle with.

Hello,

Thanks for that. It was just what I wanted.

Turns out that the error I'm getting is 'No DS called 'in' in
'ifstat.eth0.rrd'. However, my test is called 'if', not 'ifstat'.

It seems that the entry I had in graphs.cfg was 'FNPATTERN
^if.(.+).rrd' (which would match the previous 'ifstat' entry). Changing
my pattern to '^if\.' sorted out the problem :-)

Now I have to work out why the one graph for one client I did have for
the 'if' test appeared - it seems that the client has no 'Network
traffic' graphs at all (or RRD files) so something with the netstat or
ifconfig data must be causing a problem. (Both do exist in the client
data.)
