Good timing, I've been playing with this for a while and haven't been able to get it to work.

Here's my analysis.cfg entry:

HOST=connect-mn.localhost DS trends cmrtgusers.connect-mn.rrd:ds0 > 30 COLOR=yellow TEXT="Exceeding 30 logged in users"

I was sending it to trends because the rrd that I want to alert on doesn't have its own test. I also tried conn and another one that doesn't exist. The cmrtgusers.connect-mn.rrd exists in /home/hobbit/data/rrd/connect-mn.localhost, and I am getting a graph on the trends page for it with data.

<!-- Round Robin Database Dump --><rrd> <version> 0003 </version> <step> 300 </step> <!-- Seconds --> <lastupdate> 1318527476 </lastupdate> <!-- 2011-10-13 13:37:56 EDT -->

    <ds>
            <name> ds0 </name>
            <type> GAUGE </type>
            <minimal_heartbeat> 600 </minimal_heartbeat>
            <min> 0.0000000000e+00 </min>
            <max> 1.2500000000e+03 </max>

            <!-- PDP Status -->
            <last_ds> 33 </last_ds>
            <value> 5.8080000000e+03 </value>
            <unknown_sec> 0 </unknown_sec>
    </ds>

The current value is 33, so the analysis.cfg entry should be triggered. Any ideas on why it's not working? I'm using 4.3.2. Or is it not in 4.3.2? Didn't think of that until now.

Thanks!

where can I find the documentation about this ?

See the analysis.cfg(5) man-page, the section on "DS" checks.

Hi Henrik, thanks for the help.

OK, I changed it to this:

DS conn cmrtgusers.connect-mn.rrd:ds0 >3 COLOR=yellow TEXT="Exceeding 30 logged in users"

So there is no space between the greater than and 30, then dropped the 30 down to three to make sure it would get hit. Still nothing. Is there a debug that I can turn on and look into it further?

The "trends" column cannot change color, it will always be green.

I am not sure, but I think you shouldn't have any space between the '>' and '30'. It would be pretty bad for the parser to trip on that, so if that is the problem please let me know so I can look at improving it.

Tried that today also, no joy.

Take the space out from in front of the > as well. Would be my guess.
