Hi Anna,

could you please post your flexlm script to the list? Or even to TheShire website? Thanks in advance.

Regards.

I have created a GPL Hobbit module to monitor Flex License Manager. It seems to be working and delivering data in Hobbit under the column flexlm .

On the server, the hobbitserver.cfg file has been changed like so: TEST2RRD="cpu=... ... flexlm=ncv" Data is delivered in the RRD file flexlm.rrd

The data arrives OK into the rrd file, with the correct number of used licenses in last_ds field with the default data type DERIVE.

SO far so good, but for the graphs, the datatype should be GAUGE.

So I added the following line to hobbitserver.cfg : NCV_flexlm="MATLAB:GAUGE"

I have tested this a few times, being extra careful to do: ~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop jotunn.rhi.hi.is flexlm" as hobbit user then after stopping the server:

rm /var/lib/hobbit/rrd/jotunn.rhi.hi.is/flexlm.rrd

Start the server a minute later.

Then the last_ds field is set to UNKN like in the following example.

<!-- Round Robin Database Dump --><rrd> <version> 0003 </version> <step> 300 </step> <!-- Seconds --> <lastupdate> 1211985894 </lastupdate> <!-- 2008-05-28 14:44:54 GMT -->

    <ds>
            <name> MATLAB </name>
            <type> GAUGE </type>
            <minimal_heartbeat> 600 </minimal_heartbeat>
            <min> 0.0000000000e+00 </min>
            <max> NaN </max>

            <!-- PDP Status -->
            <last_ds> UNKN </last_ds>
            <value> 5.8800000000e+02 </value>
            <unknown_sec> 0 </unknown_sec>
    </ds>

I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that the output format from my flexlm module to Hobbit is: $AWK '{printf "%.19s : %d\n", $3, $11 }' Resulting in lines like this: MATLAB : 1

Maybe it is the \n in the format string or maybe there should be a space after the number.

I am stuck here. Can anybody help me out. :) BTW: I am using Hobbit 4.2.0 with the allinone patch.
