NCV_testname= specification 🔗 link

Can the wildcard be used to dynamically define all of the data? I would
like avoid changing the central hobbit config (not under my control)
every time one of the z/OS sysprogs decides to fire up a test LPAR.

My test sends this status msg.
Tue Dec 5 10:40:25 EST 2006 General Processor LPAR utilization exceeds
threshold: 95 % 

LEGACY:1.7
ZOSEPROD:94.3
ZOSPROD:2.9
Total:98.9

Can I code NCV_LPAR="*:GAUGE" instead of 
NCV_LPAR="LEGACY:GAUGE,ZOSEPROD:GAUGE,ZOSPROD:GAUGE,Total:GAUGE"  ?

There needs to be a way to define a data block within a status message
and have NCV 
graphing ignore everything outside of it...

Setup the NCV_foo setting like this:

NCV_foo="ActiveSessions:GAUGE,DisconnectedSessions:GAUGE,Group1Users:GA

UGE,

Group2Users:GAUGE,*:NONE"

The "*:NONE" makes the NCV handler ignore everything except the
datasets
explicitly listed.

Note: you'll have to delete the current rrd file when making this kind
of change.

Henrik

Yes, you can.

I was getting ready to ask the same question for a different reason 
(thanks Thomas).  Now the follow-on, how do you graph this without 
having to specify each dataset name individually?

I don't know yet. I can't get my hobbit admin to acknowledge any of my
email or voicemail about hobbit. She is avoiding me. 
I think something can be done because of the special metrics disk
report. It shows all of the disk data in a single chart rather than the
4/chart that is standard in the disk and trend pages.

I also looked at the hobbit server source code about the vmstat trend
chart. It is a nice 3 color chart for SYS, USR, IDLE cpu utilization.
The backend code is the only process that deals with the vmstat section
of the client-data stream and there is only the cpu section is used. I
coded a HOBVMSTT exec to build a [vmstat] section from the VM
Performance ToolKit data. It got automatically sent to the hobbit server
and in the trends page a placeholder graph appeared (nice magic).
Unfortunately the hobbit server has permissions issues with every new
graph so all I get is the red-x.

Once I get these things to graph nicely, I will package them up with a
little write-up as a SAMPLE extension to Hobbit/VM for those sites that
also use VMPTK.

Sorry, folks, that wasn't meant for the whole list. I need to read the
From/To lines a bit more closely.
