It might work, but it violates one my own fundamental rules.
- Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. This solution is not simple. :-)
I might have to consider it though. See comments to Buchan.

I don't know if there's a way to do that with Xymon configs so, until one of our graph wizards come up with an answer, you could look into doing it the hard(er) way... If you script the graph generation to drop graphs somewhere in your web server's htdocs tree, you could follow up with a status report to xymon containing links to the images. Something similar to this: #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/rrdtool graph /var/www/server/htdocs/graphs/volX.png
DEF:xxx...... LINE:xxx..... etc /home/xymon/server/bin/bb localhost "status server.vols greendate<img src=......>" Run that out of cron every few minutes. It would take a bit more work to add the zoom functions and the ability to click through to get longer time-span graphs, but at least you'd have something... I've done something similar to this at work because I can't install Xymon... :( Ralph MitchellOn Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 4:04 AM, Vernon Everett <everett.vernon at gmail.com> wrote:
Hi all
OK, I am probably pushing the envelope here, but maybe it's possible.
Lets assume I am collecting data about some disks. Or maybe we don't assume. I am doing it. As data, I am collecting % Cache hits % Reads % Writes Using split NCV, I get a bunch of files. cache,vol01.rrd cache,vol02.rrd cache,vol03.rrd cache,vol04.rrd read,vol01.rrd read,vol02.rrd read,vol03.rrd read,vol04.rrd write,vol01.rrd write,vol02.rrd write,vol03.rrd write,vol04.rrd
Using the standard graph definitions, I can get all the cache values on one graph, all the read values on another etc. etc. Is there a way to group them by the volume name? So I end up with a graph of cache, read and write for vol1 on one graph. The cache, read and write for vol1 on another etc. etc.
Of course, in reality, I have far more than vol01-04, and they are not all volXX either, so hard coding the hobbitgraph.cfg entry isn't an option.
Possible?
