I downloaded Devmon and have it running just fine.

However, I am having a problem with getting the stats from a Devmon if_load status into rrd. The rrd's never get created. I did do the other parts and since I am creating a tmp file from the extra-rrd.pl, that would indicate that the code is executing !

Here is where I believe the problem is.

From the extra-rrd.pl the code is as follows:

Code start ------------ #!/usr/bin/perl

Input parameters: Hostname, testname (column), and messagefile

#$HOSTNAME=$ARGV[0]; ; $TESTNAME=$ARGV[1]; ; $FNAME=$ARGV[2]; ; $filename="/tmp/if_log";

Read the entire files

open (FILEHANDLE,$FNAME) || die ("cant read file\n"); @input = <FILEHANDLE>; close (FILEHANDLE);

if ( $TESTNAME eq "if_load") {

       # Analyze the message we got
       open(OUT, ">", $filename);
       print OUT "This is the stuff\n at input";
       foreach $line (@input) {
               if ($line =~ /(^[A-Z].*) (\d+):(\d+)$/ ) {
                       # The RRD dataset definitions
                       print "DS:in:DERIVE:600:0:U\n";
                       print "DS:out:DERIVE:600:0:U\n";

                       # The filename
                       print "if_load_$1.rrd\n";

                       # The data
                       print "$2:$3\n";
               }
       }
    close (OUT);

} Code stop -----------------------

I added some code to create and show what is in the if_load stat in the /tmp/if_log file for debugging.

The /tmp/if_log file I see is:

bash-3.00$ cat /tmp/if_log This is the stuff status INET-7204.if_load green Sun Oct 7 09:29:05 2007

Devmon version 0.3.0-beta2 running on

Here is a copy of the message file from devmon/templates/cisco-7206/if_load

The message file for the device (7206) shows:

<b>Interface error rates:</b> Input load: yellow={ifInLoad.thresh:yellow}%, red={ifInLoad.thresh:red}% Output load: yellow={ifOutLoad.thresh:yellow}%, red={ifOutLoad.thresh:red}% TABLE:rrd(DS:ds0:ifInOctets:COUNTER; DS:ds1:ifOutOctets:COUNTER) Ifc name|Ifc Speed|Rate in (load %)|Rate out (load %) {ifName}{ifAliasBox}|{ifSpeed}|{ifInLoad.color}{ifInSpeed} ({ifInLoad}%){ifInLoa d.errors}|{ifOutLoad.color}{ifOutSpeed} ({ifOutLoad}%){ifOutLoad.errors}

I suspect the message file is wrong? But I have only started this on Friday, so I figured the experts could point me to the right direction.
