I expect you're going to have to use NCV to generate the rrds. I don't think Xymon will look at a number and just decide to track it. I expect someone will correct me if this is not the case. I'd focus on getting Xymon to create and populate the rrd files, then worry about the graphing.

I have been attempting to use the “standard” tcp (conn) tests and pre-defined graphs, rather than building something “custom”.

In /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg I added:

TEST2RRD=” … ,voip=tcp”

GRAPHS=” … ,voip”

I did not configure it to use NCV as I understood, based on my reading online, that was only necessary with output formatted as colon-separated “columnar” data. Since this test runs a simple fping the output looks like this:

10.10.16.251 is alive (25.8 ms)

I rewrote the script yesterday as a shell script (no perl). Here’s the entire thing:

#!/bin/sh

COLUMN=voip

for RMT in cat /etc/xymon/hosts.cfg | egrep "vya|tal" | tr -s ' ' | cut -d" " -f1,2 --output-delimiter=,

do

ADDR=echo $RMT | awk -F, '{print $1}'

SITE=echo $RMT | awk -F, '{print $2}'

RSLT=ok

STAT=green

VOIP=${ADDR/192.168/10.10}

VOIP=${VOIP/.5./.6.}

SRVR=${SITE//./,}

DATA=/usr/sbin/fping -Ae $VOIP

if [[ $DATA == *"unreachable"* ]]

then

  RSLT="NOT ok"

  STAT=red

fi

MESG="Service $COLUMN on $SITE is $RSLT"

Results to Xymon

#echo $ADDR $SRVR $DATA $STAT $MESG

$XYMON $XYMSRV "status $SRVR.$COLUMN $STAT date +"%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y" $COLUMN $RSLT

${MESG}

${DATA}

"

done

exit 0

Unfortunately no, the RRD log files are not being created either – so it looks like I’ve missed some critical steps there too.

Thanks,
