Hi,
After creating custom graphs with NCV for our san's storage processor load I wanted to graph the read & write iops of our san on a per-lun basis. I hoped it could be done kind of dynamic (like disk) with NCV but that seems impossible. My san management station is spitting out nice status messages (using bbwincmd) formatted like this:
<hobbit_display> status san lun,<lun#> green <timestamp> ReadIOPS : <#oips> WriteIOPS : <#iops>
which result in numerous new columns under 'san' like "lun,11" "lun,12" etc (used the ",<#>" format since the 'disk' rrd's seem to use it). I was hoping they would all be 'hidden' in one 'lun' column (like disk) but that was wishfull thinking. Any solution/fix for this is welcome. Clicking one of these columns does show the correct results however (...although no graph since it doesn't even make rrd's).
After reading about SPLITNCV in http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/10/msg00423.html I could put something like
SPLITNCV_lun="ReadIOPS:GAUGE,WriteIOPS:GAUGE"
in my hobbitserver.cfg but if I understand correctly this would result in 2 rrd files lun.ReadIOPS.rrd and lun.WriteIOPS.rrd and that's not what I'm looking for. I'm hoping someone here "had fun" with something like this before and is able to point me in the right direction since I'm at the point that my head is about to explode.
Thanks in advance,
Wally
