[Xymon] custom graphs problem

Hi Chris,

Thank you for you reply.

Changed it to

[ThreadCount]

    TITLE ThreadsCount Info

    YAXIS Threads

    DEF:threadcount=ThreadCount.rrd:openthreads:AVERAGE

    LINE2:threadcount#0000FF:openthreads

    COMMENT:\n

    GPRINT:openthreads:LAST:openthreads %5.1lf%s (cur) \:

    GPRINT:openthreads:MAX: %5.1lf%s (max) \:

    GPRINT:openthreads:MIN: %5.1lf%s (min) \:

    GPRINT:openthreads:AVERAGE: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n

But still no graphs are shown.

I based the creation of the graph on the example that is shown on following site:

Jef,

Look at your garaph definition :-

you have a space in LINE2 > open threads

and you have defined (DEF) threadcount but are trying to graph "open".

HTH,

Chris

Hi All,

 

After half a day searching for the problem, why my custom graph

for my test isn't showing properly in xymon, I'm reaching out to you guys.

I have googled quite a bit but none of the explanations and/or

suggestions (which I all tried) are working for me.

It is probably something stupid I'm missing or doing wrong but

I'm not able to put my finger on it.

Version: Xymon:              4.3.7

Rrd version:                        rrdtool-1.2.12-13.2

 

Problem:

I have a custom scripts, that runs about every 5 min, that gives

following output in xymon: (the open threads line shows as a separate line in the source html)

The number of open threads can vary from 0-500.

I added the necessary in xymonserver.cfg and it looks like this:

NCV_ThreadCount="openthreads:GAUGE"

 

GRAPHS="la,disk, <......more.....>,ncv,

I added the required to graphs.cfg and it looks like this:

Below is the upper most part of a rrdtool dump of the rrd file

that gets created succefully. (ThreadCount.rrd):

I tried several stuff to change the output of  my script

(open_threads, openthreads), but that changed nothing. (I did restart xymon numerous times after removing the created rrd files)

Per info: I started with following site:

All suggestions are appreciated.

 

Regards, 

Jef
