Hiya guys
I have one graph where I can select multiple entries to show in trends. The other one doesn't work the same way, and I can't work out why.
Background: I have a couple of sets of BIND DNS data that I collect into RRD files. One is "bind.rrd" which holds counters for the different DNS record types (A, MX, SOA, etc) being queried. The other is "bindstats,*.rrd" which is a set of other types of counters provided by BIND, each in a separate file (eg bindstats,RSqrysuccess.rrd, bindstats,RSrcode.servfail.rrd).
In the GRAPHS definition I have both "bindstats" and "bind" listed, so both RRD files should display on the trends page. And they do - kind-of.
In the hosts.cfg file I have the following:
... TRENDS:*,bindstats:bindstats|bindstats1,bind:bind|bind-extended
So, from what I have read, this means that whenever "bindstats" is required, both "bindstats" and the variant "bindstats1" should also be displayed. This is what happens, and I get both graphs showing.
However, for the "bind" graph, I don't get the "bind-extended" version, and only see the one "bind" graph. I graphs.cfg definitions for the "bind", "bind-extended", "bindstats" and "bindstats1", and if I bring up the graphs via URL manipulation, they all display correctly. The only problem is that "bind-extended" is not displayed on the trends page.
I'm not really seeing any significant difference between the two sets of data and their graphs, so I can't explain why it works for one and not the other. Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers Jeremy
