All:
I'm running Hobbit 4.2 I'm doing some custom graphs.I'm using the NCV module to collect the data. Some times they work and some times they don't. What I've found is that on first initialization is that the first column is dropped from the rrd. I've worked around this behavior by sending a bogus NAME:VALUE pair in my script. Then adding it to my hobbitserver.cfg like this:
NCV_TcAl="bogus:GAUGE,runningcmds:GAUGE,completedcmds:GAUGE,mincmdtime:G AUGE,maxcmdtime:GAUGE,avgcmdtime:GAUGE,*:NONE"
I have to send the following from my script:
</PRE>
<!-- graph data
bogus : 0
completedcmds : 114
runningcmds : 0
mincmdtime : 0
maxcmdtime : 15442
avgcmdtime : 177
-->
<PRE>Except for the bogus column all the RHS values are from variables. The Bogus value is hard wired to 0.
Without the bogus definition on the NCV_TcAl variable, I lose the compltetecmds in the rrds and I just get the runningcmds... etc.
The bogus data point doesn't cost much from a space perspective, but I am wondering if I'm just doing some thing wrong.
