Integrate rrd files into hobbit

Hi all,

I was reading some posts about integrating external custom scripts
into hobbit and was wondering is it possible to link existing rrd
database files created by some other application and use hobbit for
charting? If possible, what files do I need to eddit to make this
work? The rrd file is created using rrdtool so another question would
be about compatibility of the rrd file with the way the rrd files are
being created in hobbit.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Igor

Hi,

Since I haven't receive any response to the previous e-mail I'm including
some more details here. This is what I have done till now but can't get any
graph output from hobbit:

I have edited the following 3 files:


- *hobbitgraph.cfg* - tell hobbit how to create the graph from the rrd file

- *hobbitserver.cfg* - tell hobbit to include the new graph for processing
=> add the new graph name to the GRAPHS line

- *bb-hosts* - add the new graph to the "trends" column for the apropriate
host

#subparent SWIF-Public Weblogic Weblogic servers

So the idea is to get hobbit create the graph and put it under the trends
column for the particular server but it seams it doesn't do anything since I
can't see any graph or error messages in the log file. I have put the
etech_thread81cmspServer11_cms.rrd file into
/var/lib/hobbit/rrd/Weblogic8.1-ebspap11 folder. Just wondering if I'm
missing something or just want to accomplish the impossible?

Hi,

First thanks for your reply I really appreciate your help. I did as you
suggested but still no luck. Thinking maybe the rrd file is in wrong place
or I have to include the full path to that file in the graph config file?

Hi,
 
do You see a Link under TRENDS like "hobbit graph wlpub11" ? Your steps
to graph the rrd staff are correct. I did the same steps.
 
My steps to create the rrd-Database are:
 
if ( not -f $RRD ) {
 
                RRDs::create($RRD, "-s 86400",
                "DS:sms:GAUGE:172800:0:U", "DS:email:GAUGE:172800:0:U",

                "RRA:MAX:0.5:1:14", "RRA:MAX:0.5:1:60",

Hi Detlef,

No I don't see anything that's what confuses me. If something was wrong I
would expect to see broken or empty graph or link or something under trends
column but all looks like I haven't changed the config files at all.

Forgot to mention that after editing the files I restarted the hobbit server
with "/etc/init.d/hobbit restart" since it's running on Debian box.

First thanks for your reply I really appreciate your help. I did as you

or I have to include the full path to that file in the graph config file?

I wrote my own first shell script for monitoring NAS devices in our

In thsi case, I made it possible to see the RAID arrays and harddisk
levels in hobbit.
Cause of the name of the test (disk), I now get a lot of "hobbit graph
disk" messages under the data of the disks in hobbit.
I think, it is because hobbit try to display the data at the graph field.

I don't need to see the graphs for this test, so is there a way to
turn it complete off?

Nope. It seems like hobbit doesnt pick up any changes, if I edit something - the changes doesnt show up, UNLESS i change the hostname.

Yes, call it something other than "disk".

Hi all,

After some time back to this problem again. I did some small changes to the
graph definition:

[wlpub11]
        TITLE EPUB92 Threads ebspap11

        DEF:execute=wlpub11.threads.rrd:execute:AVERAGE

        GPRINT:hogging:MAX:%2.0lf
        COMMENT:average\\:\\g
        GPRINT:hogging:AVERAGE:%2.0lf\n

but all I can get now is broken graph link. This graph setting works in
shell script and I can get the image but doesn't work in hobbit. Am I
missing something in the syntax? Also as Detlef mentioned in one of his
previous responses why his graph works with max values and not with average
ones? The graph is being updated by an external custom script every 5
minutes.

The rrd database has been created as follows:

DS:execute:GAUGE:600:0:U \
DS:idle:GAUGE:600:0:U \
DS:hogging:GAUGE:600:0:U \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:288 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:336 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:732

Thanks,
