I'm trying to add a new graph to a test using NCV (SPLITNCV actually). I read through the graphing tips, I read several emails that provided hints (not my exact problem but nudged me the right way)...
long story short. I finally got he graph to show up on my test page...but the rrd file doesn't seem to be populating the fields as expected when I run "rrdtool dump". The only thing I can figure is that the test I'm performing doesn't run every 5 minutes but every 15 minutes. Does that matter? I would have expected in the worst case that only every 3rd row would have a value.
What am I missing here? Note, I dropped my test to run every 5 minutes to see if this theory is true.
As a side note, it would be extremely helpful if the NCV component didn't look at the entire status but required a comment block (for example) to contain it. That way you could keep your data stream isolated from your message. For example:
<!-- NCV data metric1: 123 metric2: 456 etc -->
My test kept creating an rrd file for a date string that was part of the status message. That's a bit annoying.
