Hi all
With the addition of diskstat/iostat info (along with zonestat, mpstat, a few other custom graphs, and the standard Xymon graphs), the trends column is really starting to look a little full. Cluttered might even be a better word.
It would be nice to have a diskstat column for my server with all the diskstat info on one page, but the way it works right now, we can't have multiple graphs on a test page, particularly when these graphs are of different scales. (counters, percentage, kb etc) You can if you this is a custom test. What I do, is put some <img> and <a> links at the bottom of my custom test pages with the graphs I want:
<a href=\"/hobbit-cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=$SVC&service=svc- mdg&nostale&color=green&action=menu\"><img src=\"/hobbit- cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=$SVC&service=svc- mdg&nostale&color=green&action=view&graph=hourly\" /></a>
(this is from a perl script so the " is escaped)
And like Roland replied, forget about ncv and use a trends message for the rrd. This is much more simple. Also, if you want to include an extra trend for a particularly host, you can use the parameter GRAPHS in bb-hosts for that host.
