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.

I currently have 3 logins going on the server:

Here are the logins:

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?

I placed both the data pair and the who info in the same 'status' call to 'bb' and the graph stops. The graph does not go away,

the data points stop being accepted.

As long as I send the data to one icon and the graph pairs to another, it works.

I am running 4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS.

Here is the simple script using 'who -u' as the data source:

cat logins.sh

#!/bin/sh

Creates a graph of the number of logins under: logins

Lists those logged in under: who

Setup these files:

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

Store this script at:

/home/xymon/client/ext as logins.sh

Make it executable:

cd /home/xymon/client/ext

chmod 755 logins

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

EDIT /home/xymon/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg

and add these lines:

# Tom Schmitt testing from Xymon HELP --> Custom Graphs

ENVFILE /home/xymon/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg

CMD /home/xymon/client/ext/logins.sh

INTERVAL 5m

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

EDIT /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

and add/edit these lines:

TEST2RRD=" <at-the-end>,logins=ncv"

NCV_logins="logins:GAUGE"

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

EDIT /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitgraph.cfg

and add these lines:

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

# Tom Schmitt Xymon HELP --> Custom Graphs

# Colors the area under the value

# Or the next line for a LINE graph

COMMENT: Number of Active Logins\n

# End of Tom Schmitt Xymon HELP --> Custom Graphs

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

EDIT /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg

and verify these lines at the end of the file:

[hobbitclient]

ENVFILE /home/xymon/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg

NEEDS hobbitd

CMD /home/xymon/client/bin/hobbitclient.sh

LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitclient.log

INTERVAL 5m

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

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

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

Send the list of those logged in under icon 'who'

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

$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.who green date

cat /tmp/logins.tom

"

rm /tmp/logins.tom 2>/dev/null

exit 0

[root at monitorp ext]#

The file with the colons changed looks like this:

            [root at monitorp ext]# cat /tmp/logins.temp
