[Xymon] custom graph- variable datasets?

Kevin,

You need to look at SPLITNCV. It's quite easy actually, I just changed mine to that yesterday because of the same problem.

Change your NCV_test to SPLITNCV_test. You can also use wildcards, so you could write it like mine:

SPLITNCV_F5="*:GAUGE"

Here's my graphs config for an example to look at. BTW, the dataset name will always be lamda no matter the rest of the config, so don't change that.

[F5] FNPATTERN ^F5.(.+).rrd TITLE Connections from F5 YAXIS % Number of Connections DEF:p at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:lambda:AVERAGE LINE2:p at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@ GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

Is there a way to have variable datasets? Meaning that sometimes my scripts will have 2 datasets and other times I will have 3 datasets. Currently when sending the 3 items the graph works, but when only 2 the graph is not there.

So my scripts will send one of the following: data01 : 56 flash01 : 4 redo01 : 1

or data01 : 56 flash01 : 4

Here are parts of my configuration:

Hobbitserver.cfg TEST2RRD="...,test=ncv" NCV_test="data01:GAUGE,flash01:GAUGE,redo01:GAUGE"

Hobbitgraph.cfg [test] TITLE test YAXIS % Used DEF:data=test.rrd:data01:AVERAGE DEF:flash=test.rrd:flash01:AVERAGE DEF:redo=test.rrd:redo01:AVERAGE LINE2:data01#FF0000:data01 LINE2:flash01#00CCCC:flash01 LINE2:redo01#00FF00:redo01 COMMENT:\n GPRINT:data:LAST:data01\: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:data:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:data:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:data:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n GPRINT:flash:LAST:flash01\: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:flash:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:flash:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:flash:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n GPRINT:redo:LAST:redo01\: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:redo:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:redo:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:redo:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n
