I think you're right. I think Henrik assumed that the problem was with DS names being too long - as this is the most common reason for the "duplicate DS name" error. It seems the colons in the "ls" output are being parsed as if they are part of a string of the form 'P:Q". The real answer, as I understand, is that NCV messages are not intended to show text, only the NCV lines. However, according to the code, if you send the string "@@" on a line by itself, the rest of the messages is ignored by the parsing code. Also, regarding the required newline, yes the example NCV code includes a newline before the NCV lines. J On 17 April 2014 19:46, Dirk Winning, junidas GmbH <dirk.winning at junidas.de>wrote:
Hi Phil, may I refer to your xymon-question from some years back:-) http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2012-July/035049.html
I think that the answer from Hendrik was very weak, in that respect that I do not regard it as an answer at all; what did you think?
What I found when running into the same issue was, that the output given to xymon has to start with a newline! After I added a newline at the top of the output the trigger-string was found and hence the graph appeared.
Did you have similar solutions?
Thanks greets
