SPLITNCV with wildcard because of multiple graphs from one test

Dear All,

I have a custom test that reports data from nvme disks from the command:

nvme smart-log /dev/nvme2n1 -o json

The output is processed so that the client reports the following to the
server:

S3ESNX0J951635M-thm_temp2_total_time : 0

As you can see, there are three disks, that have the same metrics with
different values. Now I started with a xymonserver.d/nvme.cfg looking
like this:

TEST2RRD="$TEST2RRD,nvme=ncv"
SPLITNCV_nvme="*:GAUGE"
GRAPHS_nvme="nvmecriticalwarning,nvmetemperature,nvmeavailspare,nvmesparethresh,nvmepercentused,nvmedataunitsread,nvmedataunitswritten,nvmehostreadcommands,nvmehostwritecommands,nvmecontrollerbusytime,nvmepowercycles,nvmepoweronhours,nvmeunsafeshutdowns,nvmemediaerrors,nvmenumerrlogentries,nvmewarningtemptime,nvmecriticalcomptime,nvmetemperaturesensor1,nvmetemperaturesensor2,nvmethmtemp1transcount,nvmethmtemp2transcount,nvmethmtemp1totaltime,nvmethmtemp2totaltime"

This causes all rrd files beeing created correctly like this:

$ ls -1 /var/lib/xymon/rrd/wsrbreb/nvme*temperature.rrd
/var/lib/xymon/rrd/wsrbreb/nvme,2J4520102682_temperature.rrd
/var/lib/xymon/rrd/wsrbreb/nvme,S3ESNX0J951626N_temperature.rrd
/var/lib/xymon/rrd/wsrbreb/nvme,S3ESNX0J951635M_temperature.rrd

Unfortunately all datasets are now saved as datatype "GAUGE", but most
need to have "DERIVE", but I cannot figure out how to do this. Here is
what I've tried:

SPLITNCV_nvme="temperture:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="*temperture:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme=".*temperture:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="%.*temperture:GAUGE"


One thing that does work is the following:

SPLITNCV_nvme="S3ESNX0J951626N_temperature:GAUGE"

But as you can see it requieres the name of the SSD, which cancels out
all dynamics.

How can I work with wildcards in SPLITNCV scenarios?

Thank you for your help!

I've tested even more combinations trying to escape the asterisk with no
success:

SPLITNCV_nvme="temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="*temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="*temperature*:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="\*temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="@RRDIDX at _temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="p at RRDIDX@_temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme=".*temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="%.*temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="(.*)temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="\.\*temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="\\*temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="\\\*temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="\\\\*temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="\\\\\*temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="\\\\\\*temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="\\\\\\\\*temperature:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="\\.\\*temperature:GAUGE"

On the xymon side I think this information above is processed in
"do_ncv.c", but I still could not find, where the string above gets parsed.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards

Oliver

Hello Oliver,

On my side, I'm using the following entry:
SPLITNCV_postfix="*:GAUGE"


This config creates the following files:
postfix,Corrupt_Mails.rrd
postfix,Mails_active.rrd

In a general manner, the SPLITNCV will create files based on test name 
(1st param), item name (2nd param) whith the following name structure:
$test$,$item$.rrd

Then you can work dynamically from these values.

On the xymon side I think this information above is processed in

As you can see, there are three disks, that have the same metrics with

/var/lib/xymon/rrd/wsrbreb/nvme,S3ESNX0J951635M_temperature.rrd

Unfortunately all datasets are now saved as datatype "GAUGE", but most
need to have "DERIVE", but I cannot figure out how to do this. Here is
what I've tried:

SPLITNCV_nvme="temperture:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="*temperture:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme=".*temperture:GAUGE"
SPLITNCV_nvme="%.*temperture:GAUGE"


One thing that does work is the following:

SPLITNCV_nvme="S3ESNX0J951626N_temperature:GAUGE"

But as you can see it requieres the name of the SSD, which cancels out
all dynamics.

How can I work with wildcards in SPLITNCV scenarios?

Thank you for your help!

Hello Oliver,

On my side, I'm using the following entry:
SPLITNCV_postfix="*:GAUGE"


This config creates the following files:
postfix,Corrupt_Mails.rrd
postfix,Mails_active.rrd
postfix,Mails_in_deferred_State.rrd
postfix,Incoming_Mails.rrd
postfix,Mails_bouncing.rrd


In a general manner, the SPLITNCV will create files based on test name
(1st param), item name (2nd param) whith the following name structure:
$test$,$item$.rrd

Then you can work dynamically from these values.
Thank you for the reply! The core problem is, that the item name has a
dynamic part at the beginning (serial number of the nvme disk) and a
static part at the end like temperature or data_units_read. As mentioned
earlier, my files look like this:

nvme,2J4520102682_avail_spare.rrd
nvme,2J4520102682_temperature.rrd
nvme,2J4520102682_percent_used.rrd
nvme,S3ESNX0J951626N_avail_spare.rrd
nvme,S3ESNX0J951626N_temperature.rrd
nvme,S3ESNX0J951626N_percent_used.rrd
nvme,S3ESNX0J951635M_temperature.rrd
nvme,S3ESNX0J951635M_avail_spare.rrd
nvme,S3ESNX0J951635M_percent_used.rrd

Your suggestion of using "*:GAUGE" will make all metrics GAUGE, but this
does not work due to metrics like "data_units_read" has an only
increasing value.

So the question is how to use wildcards in SPLITNCV. The asterisk alone
has a special meaning of "define everything that does not match to
GAUGE/NONE/...", but how can I use a regex or some sort of dynamic
naming in the SPLITNCV_ variable?

Regards

Oliver

Ok Oliver,

I understand your point now: you want to use wildcard related to the 
dataset name. Hence, we have to validate this is possible...
I could not find anything pointing to wildcard usage in define the 
dataset name, in this documentation:
https://xymon.sourceforge.io/xymon/help/howtograph.html

I'm not a C guy, hence I'll consider documentation only: if there is no 
mention, it does not exist.

You could try to handle manually (awful answer I know) the serial number 
of your NVMe's ?
Or better: contribute to the code (answer from someone lazy who won't)

If it was written in shell code, I probably could contribute, but I
don't know anything about C ... The magic lies in xymond/rrd/do_ncv.c (I
think)

I ended up setting "GAUGE" which creates all RRDs with this type and
then I deleted all RRDs that need to be "DERIVE". Changed the config,
restarted server and client and now everything is as it should... It's
not ideal, but ok as a workaround.

It's really scary to see that my desktop sending about 12 write commands
per second to the SSD's. This results in 2% wear per week. Ok, it's only
256GB SSD and it hosts two operating systems 24/7, but nevertheless its
not a good thing. I moved Firefoxs profile entirely to a ramdisk,
because sqlite files like history and cookies grate the SSDs ... Maybe
running BTRFS in Raid 1 was a wrong decision? Don't really know.

Regards

Oliver
