Adding the --multigraphs=jboss option to the cgioptions.cfg did not fix the problem.

I downloaded the latest version of Xymon and looked through the release notes. It says:

"Which RRD graphs are displayed on a status page can now be customized on a per-test basis through the use of environment variables. For example, GRAPHS_cpu="la,vmstat1" will cause an additional graph to be shown on cpu tests. (Submitted by Werner Maier)"

That feature was added as part of version 4.3.20. I have 4.3.17.

So, the fix to my problem is to upgrade.

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions.

If that fixes the problem, I'd be curious to understand why. That is not in my configs and I'm running 4.3.28 (terabithia). I'm fairly certain it worked on 4.3.17 (non-terabithia) but I won't swear to it in court.

I believe what you're looking for is in cgioptions.cfg. Here's the relevant line from mine:

svcstatus.cgi options for a normal (current) status display

CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=$XYMONENV --no-svcid --history=top --multigraphs=jboss,JMSQueue,cpustat"

Thanks for the information. I think I followed what you said, but I seem to be missing something along the way.

I have this as part of the TEST2RRD definition in the xymonserver.cfg file:

jboss=ncv

I also have this in the xymonserver.cfg file:

SPLITNCV_jboss="*:GAUGE" GRAPHS_jboss="jboss,jboss1"

Xymon is creating the jboss,*.rrd files as expected.

In the graphs.cfg file, I have two graphs defined as shown below. The first one graphs two data points and the second one graphs three.

Xymon only displays the graph named "jboss". If I flip the names of the two graph definitions ([jboss] becomes [jboss1] and [jboss1] becomes [jboss]), Xymon still only shows one graph, but now it shows the one with three data points instead of two. (Whichever one defined as [jboss] is the one displayed.)

If I view the graph in my browser, I'm able to manually change the "service=ncv:jboss" in the URL to "service=ncv:jboss1" and see the other graph.

So the data collection is working, the graph definitions are OK, and the graphs are being generated. The only thing left is to get both graphs to display on the same page at the same time.

In case it matters, this is Xymon 4.3.17 running on Fedora 20.

Add a line in xymonserver.cfg named GRAPHS_testname="graph1, graph2, ..."

TL;DR

I believe you just need to add a "GRAPHS" line that describes which graphs you want to show (you should already have them defined in your graphs.cfg file. I actually use the terabithia rpms which leverages the include files under the .d folders. This is not special for that build but saves me having to remember to set it up. For example, I have a test named ssdbbasic...I have a file graphs.d/ssdbbasic.cfg that contains my graph definitions and a file xymonserver.cfg.d/ssdbbasic with the following :

GRAPHS_ssdbbasic="ssdbbasic,ssdbbasic1"

TEST2RRD+=",ssdbbasic=ncv"

SPLITNCV_ssdbbasic="*:GAUGE"

You can even split out your rrd definitions if you need (to make them manageable)

I have a custom test (mytest) that returns multiple pieces of information. The information is showing up on Xymon as expected. I'd like to be able to graph each piece of information separately, but on the same page. Is that possible?

For a simplified example, mytest returns these two pieces of information:

threads connections

I'm using SPLITNCV to store the results in separate rrd files. That's working.

I'm currently graphing the threads data. I want to graph the connections information on the same mytest page, but in a separate graph.

In other words, I want to have multiple graphs using different rrd data files appear on the same Xymon test page.

Is this possible? Does anyone have a quick sample from graphs.cfg and xymonserver.cfg that can point me in the right direction?

Again, this is a simplified example. The actual test is returning 27 different pieces of information. Some of those are related to each other, some are related to other things. They're all related to the same application, which is why I'd like them to all appear on the same page. Each graph will likely have 2-4 different lines.

Thanks.

Ron
