Bug? - files test but no graphs? 🔗 link

Hello,

I noticed that the 'files' test shows a small icon near the bottom
centre of the web page. This is in fact the 'zoom' icon usually
associated with a graph. However, the 'files' test does not seem to
produce a graph (on my test system anyway). The demo Xymon server at
xymon.net also shows this problem (e.g. at
http://xymon.net/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=jorn.hswn.dk&SERVICE=files
The icon is just under the 'Client data available' text.)

My first question is should the 'files' test be producing some sort of
graph?

It seems that by default the TEST2RRD and GRAPHS variables in
xymonserver.cfg contain the 'files' test name, and so Xymon expects
there to be some sort of graph. Taking out the 'files' entry from these
variables, and the little icon disappears :-) So possibly this is a bug
in xymonserver.cfg as supplied in the source code.

I see that the 'procs' test does the same thing. Again, no idea if a
graph is supposed to be produced, but removing the 'procs' name from
TEST2RRD and GRAPHS causes the icon to disappear.

Yes it can do.

It's not a bug.

The TRACK option in the analysis.cfg file can be used to cause graphs to
be produced for tests such as 'files' and 'procs'.

To display the icon only when graphs exist will require a bit more work.
