Then either make the sample time longer, or increase the sample frequency. The former will generate more "average" data. The latter will require some serious modding to your Xymon environment and rrd setup. It's really there only to give an indication of status, for which a short sample will do. A 10 second spike, is not really a problem. Three consecutive spikes would seem to indicate that there is a sustained peak. Possibly a worry? I don't know - depends on your environment. Something you might expect at backup time perhaps? Like all sample tests, it's a sample, which we use to create a model of reality. What is there has been "good enough" for my needs, and has allowed me to do some very important diagnostics and tuning. Feel free to adjust your sample set to suit your needs.

Has anyone else seen the case where all of the graphs have a background color or colored overlay? All of the graphs on this system appear like this. Environment is new install of xymon 4.3.3 on HP-UX 11.31, rrdtool 1.4.5 Thanks!

bb-iostat.sh?
by david.gore＠verizonbusiness.com 16 May '11

We use bb-iostat.sh to monitor some performance stats but I think it may be way outdated and not very accurate for multiple cpu, SAN disk attached Solaris machines. Does anyone have any opinions or a better tool to monitor iostat, swapping etc? I am fairly ignorant about performance measurements and tuning btw except for the basics. ~David

Hi guys I am not sure what i'm doing wrong here, but i'm not getting full functionality out of dbcheck.pl and graphs. I'm running linux, centos 5, with xymon 4.3.2, connecting to an oracle9i database on HPUX 11.23 My tasks file has this [dbslow] ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg NEEDS xymond CMD $BBHOME/ext/dbcheck.pl all LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-dbslow.log INTERVAL 20m and debug=2 gives me this, among other things: dbcheck.pl version 1.09 - column Extent lifetime 60, tested in ~ 00:00:00 (max 01:00:00) Wed May 11 14:05:32 2011:CALL : Hobbit_fd_lib::send_bb line 964 Wed May 11 14:05:32 2011:DEBUG: TEST=hitcache, TYPE=status+60, EVENT=HitCache, SENDTYPE=2, TESTLIVE=60, SUMREPTIME=0 Wed May 11 14:05:32 2011:CALL : Hobbit_fd_lib::send_bb line 964 Wed May 11 14:05:32 2011:DEBUG: BBDISPLAY: 172.24.44.34, hostname: mp2qgt3, type: status+60, event: HitCache, time: 00:00:00, color=green Wed May 11 14:05:32 2011:CALL : Hobbit_fd_lib::send_bb line 964 Wed May 11 14:05:32 2011:DEBUG: COMPLETE MESSAGE:status+60 mp2qgt3.HitCache green Wed May 11 14:05:32 2011  I'm not getting errors or warnings, and the pages all display their info that is submitted. However the graphs are empty because the RRD files are not being updated with the data above. Is it because it's enclosed in  ? Do I need to change the lifetime that is 60? Thanks for any help Stef

Holes in xymon graphs
by hj.beckers＠kreis-steinfurt.de 13 May '11

13 May '11

I have a problem with holes in xymon graphs (see attached pdf): The values for load, processes, users stopped showing up at 4.30 this morning. All other values disc, memory, cpu load, network are shown. The client is sending its data to 2 xymon servers, both show the same behaviour. Restarting the client makes no difference? Any tipps?
