[Xymon] Graphing in Xymon

Well, this didn?t work.

I?ve removed the file from the /etc/xymon/graph.d directory, and added it directly into graphs.cfg. No help.

I removed the comment and GPRINT lines, as they are superfluous at this time. Still nothing.

Is there a way to manually create a gif/jpg/whatever with rrdtool to test that the data will create a graph?

What I have now: [ConfigPulls] TITLE NCM Config Pulls YAXIS Number of Devices DEF:NetAtoD=ConfigPulls.rrd:NetAtoD:AVERAGE DEF:NetEtoN=ConfigPulls.rrd:NetEtoN:AVERAGE DEF:NetOtoZ=ConfigPulls.rrd:NetOtoZ:AVERAGE DEF:Other=ConfigPulls.rrd:Other:AVERAGE DEF:InfraGen=ConfigPulls.rrd:InfraGen:AVERAGE DEF:InfraSec=ConfigPulls.rrd:InfraSec:AVERAGE

As I read the how to, the DEF is DEF:<label you want>=<rrdfile>:<data label in the rrd file:AVERAGE

So those should be right.

I think maybe your names don't match??

 <ds>
            <name> NetAtoD </name>

not equal to:

    DEF:NetAtoD=ConfigPulls.rrd:AtoD:AVERAGE
    .....
    LINE2:AtoD#00FF00:Net A to D
    .....
    GPRINT:AtoD:LAST:Net A to D \: %5.1lf (cur)

I think it should be:

   DEF:NetAtoD=ConfigPulls.rrd:NetAtoD:AVERAGE
   ....
    LINE2:NetAtoD#00FF00:Net A to D
    ....
    GPRINT:NetAtoD:LAST:Net A to D \: %5.1lf (cur)

and similarly for the other DEF, LINE2 and GPRINT. It's been a long time since I messed with graphs too, so I could be completely wrong.

It is a simple count of devices in multiple ?networks?. This test only runs once a day. I haven?t done a graph in xymon in several years, and it?s always a struggle.

This is the input data:

Net_AtoD: 5871 Net_EtoN: 5589 Net_OtoZ_1to9: 5242 Other: 386 InfraGen: 12 InfraSec: 25

The data comes in fine. And I get a good rrd file (all 6 networks are in there and look the same as this, except obviously the last_ds and value values: <ds> <name> NetAtoD </name> <type> GAUGE </type> <minimal_heartbeat> 600 </minimal_heartbeat> <min> NaN </min> <max> NaN </max>

            <!-- PDP Status -->
            <last_ds> 5871 </last_ds>
            <value> 5.8710000000e+04 </value>
            <unknown_sec> 267 </unknown_sec>
    </ds>

I have multiple xymon servers, and I share most of the config with an include line in xymonserver.cfg:

/etc/xymon/xymonserver-common.cfg:TEST2RRD+=",proc-mem-cfgmgrd=ncv,ucf=ncv,ConfigPulls=ncv" /etc/xymon/xymonserver-common.cfg:GRAPHS+=",vmwarevms,hpnasnaphost,ucf,ConfigPulls" /etc/xymon/xymonserver-common.cfg:NCV_ConfigPulls="*:GAUGE"

I?ve restarted a few times.

I put the graph config in its own file /etc/xymon/graph.d/ConfigPulls.cfg [ConfigPulls] TITLE NCM Config PUlls YAXIS Number of Devices DEF:NetAtoD=ConfigPulls.rrd:AtoD:AVERAGE DEF:NetEtoN=ConfigPulls.rrd:EtoN:AVERAGE DEF:NetOtoZ=ConfigPulls.rrd:OtoZ:AVERAGE DEF:Other=ConfigPUlls.rrd:Other:AVERAGE DEF:InfraGen=ConfigPUlls.rrd:InfraGen:AVERAGE DEF:InfraSec=ConfigPUlls.rrd:InfraSec:AVERAGE LINE2:AtoD#00FF00:Net A to D LINE2:EtoN#00CCCC:Net E to N LINE2:OtoZ#FFCC00:Net O to Z & 1 to 9 LINE2:Government#FF0000:Government LINE2:InfraGen#FFFF00:Infrastructure General LINE2:InfraSec#FFFFCC:Infrastructure Secure COMMENT:\n GPRINT:AtoD:LAST:Net A to D \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:AtoD:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:AtoD:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:EtoN:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n GPRINT:EtoN:LAST:Net E to N \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:EtoN:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:EtoN:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:EtoN:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n GPRINT:OtoZ:LAST:Net 0 to Z \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:OtoZ:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:OtoZ:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:OtoZ:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n GPRINT:Government:LAST:Government \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:Government:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:Government:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:Government:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n GPRINT:InfraGen:LAST:Infrastructure General \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:InfraGen:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:InfraGen:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:InfraGen:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n GPRINT:InfraSec:LAST:Infrastructure Secure \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:InfraSec:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:InfraSec:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:InfraSec:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

The graph doesn?t show up, just a broken link in both the test and trends pages.

Any help?

Thanks, Paul.
