Multiple graphs on one page
by Vernon.Everett＠woodside.com.au 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Hi all I am sure this has been asked and answered, but I can't find it in the list search. I have a single test pumping out a number of data metrics. Imagine this output (fictional, but representative of my problem) Rusers=45 Users=104 Mqueue=32014 Rqueue=0 ReadPerSec=24035 OtherData=2128 NCV plugs these values into an RRD file very nicely, but of course you plot them on the same graphs, it becomes meaningless because of the scale. Users and Rusers looks like a flat line down in the weeds, and only Mqueue and ReadPerSec have any real visibility. How can I display 2, or even 3 graphs on the same page with this data. One graph with Users and Rusers (Because they are in the similar scale range) Another with Mqueue ad ReadPerSec and potentially Rqueue - again because of a similar scale range. And if possible, a third graph for OtherData 3 graphs with 3 scales using different fields from the same rrd file on the same page. Possible? Cheers V P.S. To those who celebrate, a Merry Christmas to you all. To those who do not, a safe and enjoyable holiday to you. NOTICE: This email and any attachments are confidential.

[hobbit] syntax for log monitoring with spaces?
by Craig.Cook＠gpi.com 30 Dec '08

>Whitespace in the patterns is likely to trip up the parser. Wrap the >pattern in quotes, or use [[:space:]] instead of space. Using [[:space:]] seems to be working. Thanks Craig

bb-mdstat Instructions
by josh＠imaginenetworksllc.com 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

Can anyone tell me to put these? I can't include them of the readme... Drop bb-mdstat.sh into ~hobbituser/client/ext/bb-mdstat.sh *Found here: http://www.deadcat.net/download.php?fileid=731&filename=bb-mdstat.sh&locati… cd ~hobbituser/client/ext/ chmod 755 bb-mdstat.sh chown hobbituser:hobbituser bb-mdstat.sh Add this to the bottom of ~hobbit/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg [raid] ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/bb-mdstat.sh LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/myscript.log INTERVAL 5m Now at this point your Hobbit client will sent [raid] information in the client data. Now simply add the raid column by adding "raid" to the end of the host in bb-hosts as such: 1.2.3.4 myhost.foo.bar # raid Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 Those who don't understand UNIX are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. --- Henry Spencer

vmstat problem
by doctor＠makelofine.org 25 Dec '08

25 Dec '08

Hi all, I'm using Xymon 4.2.2 on both clients and server side. All my OS are linux (almost all are kernel 2.6) My case : One of my client does not send [vmstat] section to the server. After researching a lot, i found that executing manually hobbitclient-linux.sh is working great. I've the hobbit_vmstat.HOSTNAME.$$ file created, but it's not moved to hobbit_vmstat.HOSTNAME. So i modified hobbitclient-linux.sh in order to get directly the hobbit_vmstat.HOSTNAME,
