Take a look at http://xymon.sourceforge.net/xymon/help/howtograph.html

Does dia.sh read /tmp/dia.txt and send the data to the xymon server? If so, you should have a 'dia' column on the xymon server for the client in question

Once that is done, there are two more things to complete a) edit xymonserver.cfg so it starts populating into an RRD file (requires a xymon restart) b) edit graphs.cfg to the graphing works (no restart required)

Good day,

i was trying to monitor some “health data” of a SAP server running on linux. In particular to monitor some output from the dpmon sap utility.

I run (every 4 minutes) in crontab a script that writes interesting metrics in a file: /tmp/dia.txt (it was too difficult to run dpmon utility with xymon user)

Then I added in clientlaunch.cfg these lines

[dia]

    ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg

    CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/bin/dia.sh

    LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTLOGS/dia.log

    INTERVAL 5m

It seems that it runs, because dia.log has this content

It’s not clear for me how to let these info appear in xymon web page.

If I look at the clientlog from the xymon web page I don’see these data I’m trying to send from the client.

What’s missing? Something on client side or both sides?

Thanks!
