Hi all

Can anybody point me to some documentation about how to use SPLITNCV.
(Or perhaps you can answer my questions)

In the mailing list I have seen it as SPLITNCV, SPLIT_NCV and
SPLIT-NCV. Which is it? As in, what goes into hobbitserver.cfg?
What version of Xymon was it introduced? I can't seem to get it
working here, so I might need an upgrade, or was this feature only
ever delivered in a patch?

Regards
     Vernon

Here is a sample of how I use it.

SQLTPS = ncv

NCV_SQLTPS="Transactions:GAUGE"

This worked for me over several releases.

OK. Did a little trial and error.

It's SPLITNCV_testname

And we use GRAPH to control the number of lines on a graph.
GRAPH="blah blah,stuff,testname::4"
This should give me 4 lines per graph in trends.
It gives me 3 :-(
testname::5 gives me the 4 lines I was looking for.
Anybody else seen this behaviour?

Next question though. testname::X controls the number of lines on the
trends page.
How do I limit the number of lines on the actual testname page?
Right now it's showing the lot on one graph, and it's mega fugly.

Hi Neil

That's NCV, and it works a treat. Been using it for years.
However, I am looking at the SPLITNCV feature.

It appears really cool on paper. I just need to make it work for me.

It will allow you to graph a previously unknown number of lines, by
putting them one per rrd file instead of all into a single rrd file.
You then generate the graphs using a wildcard in the rrd file
definition in hobbitgraph.cfg.

But like i mentioned, on the trends page it looks great.
On the test page, all the lines are on one graph. :-(

Cheers
