Hi Jerald,
Correct
Correct:
Mon May 10 08:14:11 SAST 2010
edge01 : 2 edge02 : 2
Client data available hobbitgraph ncv:fmsconns
- correct.
- Correct:
$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOUR date
$STATUS"
I've checked the rrd logs, unfortunately there's no mention of any issues at all so i'm kinda stuck.
Thanks, Cami

The examples you pasted in look completely correct to me. However, just to be fully with you, I'd like to ask (just to be thorough, not a jerk) regarding the term "The script outputs the following on the page:"
Just to cross all the t's and dot all the i's:
- you have a script running on a client, launched from clientlaunch.cfg and gathering data remotely.
- It is being sent back to the server and properly making it to the page, showing up in it's own column.
- The script is also sending/setting all appropriate BB environment variables:
(and example from one of my scripts)
Xymon Variables
$ENV{BBPROG} = "library.pl <http://library.pl>"; my($TESTNAME) = "library"; my($BBHOME) = $ENV{BBHOME}; my($BB) = $ENV{BB}; my($BBDISP) = $ENV{BBDISP}; my($BBVAR) = $ENV{BBVAR};
- You are also sending all approprate red/green/yellow/clear, etc. messages along back to the server
Note that this may not affect your display, but is just good "gathering" practice in pulling data back from remote hosts. Even if you're only setting a "clear", it is good to do.
Unless I'm just missing something in the paste-in you're showing, I'm not seeing any overt problems. How about the logs? Anything there? Like maybe permissioning problems or some such?
/var/log/xymon/rrd-status.log /var/log/rrd-data.log
(or wherever your installation's logs are) ?

Hi.. I'm having an issue with creating a system graph in Xymon. The script outputs the following on the page: ----------------------------- Fri May 7 16:42:19 SAST 2010 edge01 : 5 edge02 : 7 edge03 : 2 edge04 : 6 hobbitgraph ncv:fmsconns Zoom graph ----------------------------- Its a script to monitor concurrent connections so its value goes up and down. In hobbitserver.cfg, i have the following: TEST2RRD="cpu=la,cpu2=la[......],fmsconns=ncv" GRAPHS="la,disk[...........],fmsconns" NCV_fmsconns="edge01:GAUGE,edge02:GAUGE" in hobbitgraph.cfg [fmsconns] TITLE Fmsconns info YAXIS Connections DEF:pct=fmsconns.rrd:util:AVERAGE LINE2:pct#00CC00:NParts GPRINT:pct:LAST: \: %3.1lf (cur) GPRINT:pct:MAX: \: %3.1lf (max) GPRINT:pct:MIN: \: %3.1lf (min) GPRINT:pct:AVERAGE: \: %3.1lf (avg)\n On the I used the howto @ http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/howtograph.html as a guideline but its clear i'm lacking some understanding. I'm guessing the contents in hobbitgraph.cfg is off as i'm doing an rrdtool dump and the output looks ok? <lastupdate> 1273230835 </lastupdate> <!-- 2010-05-07 13:13:55 SAST --> <ds> <name> jhbedge01optinetnet </name> <type> DERIVE </type> <minimal_heartbeat> 600 </minimal_heartbeat> <min> NaN </min> <max> NaN </max> <!-- PDP Status --> <last_ds> 4 </last_ds> <value> 0.0000000000e+00 </value> <unknown_sec> 0 </unknown_sec> </ds> <ds> <name> jhbedge02optinetnet </name> <type> DERIVE </type> <minimal_heartbeat> 600 </minimal_heartbeat> <min> NaN </min> <max> NaN </max> <!-- PDP Status --> <last_ds> 3 </last_ds> <value> 7.9207920792e-02 </value> <unknown_sec> 0 </unknown_sec> </ds> Anyone have any ideas/tips?
