Tim,
Pardon me for asking, but I am trying to compare and isolate my
problem.
    What is the name and location of the script your are running?
Usually in server/ext directory.
What is the name of the ICON to place the graph under?
What does the 'bb' command that sends the data look like?
And, what does the data pair(s) look like?  E.g.  "USERS:228" or
"USERS : 229", etc.
    What did you add to hobbitlaunch.cfg?

     Thanks,

     Tom Schmitt

Not sure if this will help or just mis-guide you so take with a grain of
salt.
Your config looks very similar to one of the graphs I recently added for
a NetApp box.  One thing that I did differently is in the use of the
names.  Here is an example:
hobbitserver.cfg:NCV_NA2CPU="NA2CPU:GAUGE"
NA2CPU=ncv is also defined in the other two vars in that file.
hobbitgraph.cfg
...
[NA2CPU]
-W redacted
TITLE NetApp2 CPU Busy
YAXIS NA2 CPU
DEF:NA2CPU=NA2CPU.rrd:NA2CPU:AVERAGE
COMMENT:5 min delayed \n
AREA:NA2CPU#00CC00:NA2CPU
GPRINT:NA2CPU:LAST: \: %5.0lf (cur)
GPRINT:NA2CPU:MAX: \: %5.0lf (max)
GPRINT:NA2CPU:MIN: \: %5.0lf (min)
GPRINT:NA2CPU:AVERAGE: \: %5.0lf (avg)\n
...
Regards,
Tim

Subject: [hobbit] Trying to create a graph
All assistance is greatly appreciated!
I have a simple number that I want to have graphed in Xymon.
Running 4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.4.
I have a script that is populating the information from our Juniper
SSLVPN device(s).
I created a new ICON 'online' where there is a lot of information passed
for display by clicking the 'online' icon.
This is done using 'bb' with 'status'.
One of the values displayed is the number of web users.
I create a file of values for a history but I want to pass the value
from each run to the Xymon as 'data' to 'bb'.
The pair from each run is:      USERS:277    with the 277 changing with
every 5 minute run.
I placed the script in the /home/xymon/server/ext directory called:
SNMP-Juniper.sh
Per the Xymon Help --> custom graphs document:
I edited the following files:
            /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg

                            # Tom Schmitt script in server/ext
directory
[online]
ENVFILE /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
CMD
/home/xymon/server/ext/SNMP-Juniper.sh
LOGFILE
$BBSERVERLOGS/SNMP-Juniper.sh.log
INTERVAL 5m
            /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitgraph.cfg
            I only want to see a single line showing the number of
USERS at the 5 minute timeframes.
Tom Schmitt SNMP-Juniper.sh in ext directory
[online]
TITLE Count of Juniper

YAXIS Users
DEF:in=online.rrd:online:AVERAGE
AREA:in#00CC00:Usage

GPRINT:in:MAX: Max\:

GPRINT:in:AVERAGE:Avg\:
%6.2lf %s\n
End of SNMP-Juniper.sh graph
            /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

            At the end of the TEST2RRD=".....,online=ncv"
            At the end of the GRAPHS=".....,online"
This was mentioned elsewhere so I tried it.
Added the following line:
NCV_online="USERS:GAUGE"
I only see a small graph box with "X hobbitgraph ncv:online" in the box
under the icons:  online and trends
But no data graphed
If you click on it, you get the hourly, daily, weekly monthly graph as a
small box with no data either.
Thanks,
Tom Schmitt
