hello again this system really don't like extra space or extra \n. so here is the way : xymon 0 "data hostname.trends <-- return [toto.rrd] DS:uhuh:GAUGE:600:0:U 21 DS:uhuh:GAUGE:600:0:U 21 DS:uhuh:GAUGE:600:0:U 21 <--- return [toto2.rrd] DS:uhuh:GAUGE:600:0:U 21 DS:uhuh:GAUGE:600:0:U 21 DS:uhuh:GAUGE:600:0:U 21 etc without any return at the end. And everything is fine. Just for the information : A ds-name must be 1 to 19 characters long in the characters [a-zA-Z0-9_]. oau ----- Mail original ----- De: "Olivier AUDRY" <olivier at audry.fr> À: xymon at xymon.com Envoyé: Mardi 15 Février 2011 14:15:23 Objet: [xymon] weird thing in trending hello xymon 4.3.0-RC1.
