Writing my own Scripts with RRD 🔗 link

Hello,

 
So, I took the old laard iostat script, and

made a few changes, but overall the output is

the same.

 
I changed the name to iostat2. I then started

send data to Hobbit. However, I can't see and

rrd files being generated.

 
I added iostat2 to the hobbitserver.cfg file, but

no rrd. I then did the following iostat2=iostat,

and it started inputting rrd files.

 
However, I was trying to stay away from iostat

and write me own test. I'm trying to figure out

how to send data to Hobbit and graph it.

 
If I do the suggested:  iostat2=ncv, I get no rrd

data.

 
So, how do you get data going into Hobbit for rrd?

 
Can someone point me in the right direction?

 
I've read some of the rrd tutorials, not all. I'm trying

to do my own iostat, and mpstat commands to

track disk i/o wait and busy times, and mpstat

multiple cpu graphs. I don't need alerts, just trends

really.

 
Thanks.James

Please take me of this list.

I've got iostat working and graphing NFS and Disk mounts
using the old larrd iostat graph, but I've made changes
to include NFS mounts.

So, if I write my own script, and don't use the NCV, can
I use the old laard format?

If so, what changes to I need to make.

I have another question, I'm working with the hobbitgraph.cfg. I have
systems that have a load of NFS mounts, and the graph information gets
long. However, they may have no busy or wait times, and the data is
NaN. Is there a way in hobbitgraph.cfg to say don't list the filesystem
if there is no data. I can eliminate the graph part by using the
GT variable, but I want the system not to be listed if the data is 0.

Thanks....James
