NCV - problems setting to GAUGE
list Charles Jones
I defined an NCV as type GAUGE:
$ tail -1 hobbitserver.cfg
NCV_modjk=modjk:GAUGE"
But when I actually peek at the rrd file, it sys it is type DERIVE.
<!-- Round Robin Database Dump --><rrd> <version> 0003 </version>
<step> 300 </step> <!-- Seconds -->
<lastupdate> 1159488942 </lastupdate> <!-- 2006-09-29 00:15:42
GMT -->
<ds>
<name> modjk </name>
<type> *DERIVE* </type>
<minimal_heartbeat> 600 </minimal_heartbeat>
<min> 0.0000000000e+00 </min>
<max> NaN </max>
Any idea what could be the issue? I tried deleting the rrd and letting
hobbit recreate it, it was again created with DERIVE type

I noticed the typo when I sent the email. It's actually NCV_modjk="modjk:GAUGE" (proper quotes). -Charles

*sigh* I really need to stop doing this. And by "this" I mean; I will have a problem, and try and try to figure it out, so I give up and send an email about it. While waiting for a reply I poke around and figure out the problem. Maybe next time I should just send the email to myself :) -Charles

The problem was with some other tests that I was sending, which were named slightly different: NCV_modjkaltname="modjkaltname:GAUGE" While my testname was different for these other NCV's, the actual NCV value they were sending was the same, so the fix was to change those to: NCV_modjkaltname="modjk:GAUGE" And restart hobbit. The problem was that hobbit was previously getting the NCV name of "modjk", but my previous definitions were for "modjkaltname", which didn't match so Hobbit used the default DERIVE type. Once I purged the rrd files, updated to the correct names, and restarted hobbit, it created proper GAUGE type rrds. -Charles
