Hi Henrik
Thanks for the reply.
I rechecked my script.
What I sent you was my debug output (for human consumption only) and is from the & lines.
while read TABLESPACE VAL
do
[ -n "$OUTVAL" ] && OUTVAL="$OUTVAL:"
& echo "DS:$TABLESPACE:GAUGE:600:0:100" >> /tmp/newtest.out # test # stub remove later OUTVAL=$OUTVAL$VAL done < /tmp/stripped rm /tmp/strippedecho "DS:$TABLESPACE:GAUGE:600:0:100"- echo "tablespace.rrd"
- echo "$OUTVAL" & echo "OUTVAL=$OUTVAL" >> /tmp/newtest.out # test stub remove later
The * lines are machine-readable output, and should end up in the .rrd files.
But it isn't even trying to write a .rrd file.
Thanks for the tip about the hobbitgraph.cfg. I have created an entry in the .cfg, but until I get some data into the rrd files, it will still not display anything. L
Or does the script and the contents of the hobbitgraph.cfg have to be correct before it will start writing a .rrd file?
Cheers V

The first part with all the "DS:..." defs look OK, but the last line
is wrong.
Right after all the "DS:.." lines you must output the filename for the
RRD file - "tablespace.rrd" or whatever suitable name you can think of.
Next goes the line with the values you've parsed. Leave out the
"OUTVAL=" bit, it should ONLY be the values - nothing else.
And did you remember to setup a definition in hobbitgraph.cfg how this
graph should be displayed ? Quoting my man-page:
Apart from writing the script, You must also add a section to
hobbitgraph.cfg(5) so that hobbitgraph.cgi(1)
knows how to generate the graph from the data stored in the
RRD file. To make the graphs actually show up on
the status-page and/or the "trends" page, add the
name of the new graph to the LARRDS and/or GRAPHS setting in
hobbitserver.cfg(5).Ah, before I forget, brilliant tool Henrik, thanks.
You ever pop into Perth, there's a few cold ones waiting for you. :-)
Thanks, will do if I manage to get down under sometime :-)
Henrik
