Hello,
we are planning to upgrade to xymon 4.3.0. One of the preparations is to incorporate the modifications we've made in the (Hobbit) graph definitions into the graph definitions of xymon 4.3.0. The modifications described below are about the preference for a specific presentation of the information.
We have changed the layout of a number of graphs to get a (more) uniform layout, which also matches the layout of MRTG graphs. The modifications are:
- The format of the title becomes "<Host> , <Description>
<TimeRange>". Thus in the TITLE directive starts with ", ", and (and this is hard to see in the diff output) it ends with two spaces. Only the first word in <Description> is written in uppercase. - Below the graph, there is one line for each parameter shown in the graph. The format of a line is the color and a description (generated with a LINE of AREA directive) followed by the minimum, maximum, average and current value. This order matches MRTG, which shows the maximum, the average and the current value. Each value has the format "<Min|Max|Avg|Cur>: <Value> <Unit>".
- The format of the label along the Y-axis is "<Description> [<Unit>]". The description at the Y-axis describes the quantity shown, while the description field(s) below the graph contain the source.
- FNPATTERN is modified to be more precise. It is anchored to both the beginning and the end of the name, and a "." is replaced by "\." if a dot is meant.
Note that not all graph definitions are modified, in principle only the definitions we use are changed. It would be nice if the format of the dates in a graph could be adjusted as well, resulting in a uniform way to show a date throughout xymon (and devmon) generated pages.
Kind regards, Wim Nelis.
