NCV grpah not displaying

14 messages in this thread

list Geoff Steer · Sun, 20 Nov 2005 16:46:43 +1100 ·

I've set up a custom RRD using the Hobbit NCV facility. [It's for
monitoring the time an email takes to traverse our mail platform and
logs times in seconds. ]
It's working in that the rrd is created/updated as expected, a column
called mailtransit is created under the appropriate host and the status
of the test is displayed. However I can't get a graph to be displayed
here. 
The correct graph shows up under the Trends column.

hobbitserver.cfg contains the following entries for this test:

NCV_mailtransit="mailtransit:GAUGE"

TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,
$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,vmstat5,iostat,netstat
,temperature,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,
bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,mailtransit=ncv"

GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,users,vmstat,vmstat5,iostat,tcp.http,tcp,netstat,
mrtg::1,temperature,ntpstat,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen
,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,mailtransit"

ANy suggestions?

Is there a "hobbit graph mailtransit:ncv" link on your status page ? Or
a broken graph image ? Or nothing at all ?


I've cooked up a quick "howto" document on how you setup graphs with the
NCV module - you'll find it at http://www.hswn.dk/~henrik/howtograph.txt
I would like some comments on this and then I'll probably include it in
the Hobbit docs.

There is no graphic link at all.

Reading this document made the difference. Once I added the ncv to the
GRAPHS section in hobbitserver.cfg, as stated in your howtograph.txt,
the graph appeared on the the status page.
As per the text, I won't ask why :-) - although it's not obvious to me
why this made the graph appear on the status page given that the GRAPH
section is described as controlling the graphs appearing on the trend
page.
I have my graph and a little more understanding of Hobbit so I'm happy.

Hi,

I'm trying to follow the description. At one place it says hobbitgraphs.cfg and I got hobbitgraph.cfg a typo I think.

Ok, I thought that it couuld be fun to see how my mailbox grows, so I created a script with the following output:

Then I changed in hobbitserver.cfg tohobbitserver.cfg:TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apache,bind,sendmail,nmailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,mailbox=ncv"                                                                              hobbitserver.cfg:NCV_mailbox="hobbit:GAUGE"  Mailbox is the columnname.

I get the following error in cgierror.log:

So what did you put into hobbitgraph.cfg ? From the error,
it sounds as if there is no section beginning with

Did you add the 'ncv' entry to the GRAPHS section in hobbitserver.cfg?
See the last  paragraph in Henrik's graphing HOWTO.

This was the solution to my previously reported problem.
I found that without it, I got status messages in rrd-status.log but no

It's working!

But this should be mor emphasized:

Problems: No graph on the status page, but OK on the "trends" page
==================================================================
Make sure you have "ncv" listed in the GRAPHS setting in hobbitserver.cfg.
(Don't ask why - just take my word that it must be there).

Lars

No I didn't. Now I have done it, and the graph shows up. Thanks. 
mailbox.rrd is created, but not updated.

Did you add the 'ncv' entry to the GRAPHS section in hobbitserver.cfg?
See the last  paragraph in Henrik's graphing HOWTO.

This was the solution to my previously reported problem.
I found that without it, I got status messages in rrd-status.log but no
updating of the rrd.

So what did you put into hobbitgraph.cfg ? From the error,
it sounds as if there is no section beginning with

  [mailbox]

I think that a status message that I have is confusing the ncv module. Based on the following message:

status vse2.sp_util green 21 Nov 2005 06:41:24 Power spool status is OK

1R49I  QUEUE FILE 031% FULL - 599 FREE QUEUE RECORDS

1R49I  NO ACCOUNTING SUPPORT

queuefile : 031
datafile : 040

Of course the intent is for ncv to grab the last two lines and create an rrd out of them.  But the rrd gets the following information:

hobbit at hobbit:~/data/rrd/vse2> rrdtool fetch sp_util.rrd AVERAGE -r 900 -s -60m
             1R49IQUEUEFILE030FU                CREQ                DELQ            1R49IRDRQ                LSTQ                PUNQ      XMTQ 1R49IQUEUEFILEEXTEN       DBLKGROUPSIZE 1R49IDATAFILEEXTENT

1132540200: nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan
1132540500: nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan

Is this really a problem or am I trying to use ncv for something it wasn't designed for?  Should I stick to an 'extra' script?

Is there a "hobbit graph mailtransit:ncv" link on your status page ? Or
a broken graph image ? Or nothing at all ?


I've cooked up a quick "howto" document on how you setup graphs with the
NCV module - you'll find it at http://www.hswn.dk/~henrik/howtograph.txt
I would like some comments on this and then I'll probably include it in
the Hobbit docs.

Henrik,
 after upgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2p1 the rrds for the ncv graphs has stoped
being updated.
 I've read your new text about NCV graphs and everything is OK.
 Any hint?

Followed the HOWTO and it works nicely.

Is there a limitation of 5 graphs ? I have a status that returns 6 data 
values, and I have defined all of them as GAUGE values, but if I check 
the rrd file only the first 5 is saved.

I've installed once again the last version and the rrds for the ncv graph
are not being created or updated, no messages of the ext script appears on
larrd-status.log and larrd-data.log.

Maybe something missing in the last version?

Now my server is running the 4.1.1 version again , and the ncv rrd's
starts updating again.
