I have been trying to update data information and also create a graph under the same ICON. I have changed the colons ‘:’ to html colons also and even that does not do it. : = : per an earlier email.

I have to split them into an icon called ‘logins’ for graphing and an icon called ‘who’ for the ‘who –u’ output. If I try to do them both to the same ICON, the graphing stops but the data continues to be updated and displayed.

Did you look for any logging about this problem? I expect messages to be logged in rrd-status.log.

I currently have 3 logins going on the server: [cid:image002.jpg at 01CB0BCC.0B826540] Here are the logins: [cid:image004.jpg at 01CB0BCC.0B826540]

What I want to do is get both under the same ICON name. Do I need to do something like ‘data’ instead of ‘status’ on the ‘bb’ line?

No, you may combine them in one status message. As an example the status message of test (ICON) termusers (a modified version of the termuser.pl script from xymonton):

<PRE> 2010.06.15 08:11:50 There are 3 terminal users on sodn016w <!-- TotalSession : 3 ActiveSession : 2 -->

USERNAME SESSIONNAME ID STATE IDLE TIME LOGON TIME pcadmin console 0 Active . 2010.06.14 9:24 duque 1 Disc none 2010.06.15 7:11 masel rdp-tcp#1355 2 Active 29 2010.06.15 7:34

</PRE>

Here is the simple script using ‘who –u’ as the data source:

cat logins.sh

#!/bin/sh #ident "@(#)logins.sh Ver. 1.0 Tom Schmitt 2010" #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the HELP --> Custom Graphs in Xymon

Installed by Tom Schmitt for test purposes

#-------------------------------------------------------

Creates a graph of the number of logins under: logins

Lists those logged in under: who

#------------------------------------------------------- .... lines deleted .... BB=/home/xymon/server/bin/bb # Location of 'bb' BBDISP=127.0.0.1 # Local display MACHINE="monitorp.csw.l-3com.com"

LOGINS=who -u | wc -l | awk '{print $1}'

#-----------------------------------------------------

Send the value pair for graphing under icon 'logins'

#----------------------------------------------------- $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.logins green

logins : $LOGINS "

Get the 'who -u' info and change all colons to:

: for an html colon

Edit the colons ':' to be html colons ':'

You don't want the data to look like value pairs:

(name : value) or (name = value) to Xymon

who -u >/tmp/logins.tom sed -i 's/:/\&\#58\;/' /tmp/logins.tom

Perhaps all colons an a line need to be hidden from the NCV module.
