Actually, it appears that the DEF line in hobbitgraph.cfg is what I need to figure out how to make variable.

Instead of having to do the following, is there a way to make the ds-name variable based on the graph data itself??

Not sure if below is possible in any way. Look on the RRDtool site and it doesn't show an way to make ds-name variable and dynamic:

[farmload] TITLE Citrix Farm Load YAXIS Load Value DEF:p at RRDIDX@=farmload.rrd:*THIS_PART_IS_RANDOM*:AVERAGE LINE2:p at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@ GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n

Thanks!

Hi All,

I hoping that someone has done this before, either through Hobbit built in graphing and status/data messages or through another means. I have data in the following format:

SERVER1 : 800 SERVER2 : 1054 SERVER3 : 10000 SERVER4 : 43

These numbers represent the load on a Citrix server, using the qfarm /load CLI. The maximum number will always be 10000 if the server is full and 0 if the server is empty.

The problem I am having in figuring this out, is that the names of the servers can change day to day, so adding all those entries as NCV GAUGE types doesn't make sense. Am I missing a way to do this?

I am also hoping to have 5 servers per graph and I have about 150 to graph.

Thanks!

Geoff.
