All assistance is greatly appreciated!

I have a simple number that I want to have graphed in Xymon.

Running 4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.4.

I have a script that is populating the information from our Juniper SSLVPN device(s).

I created a new ICON 'online' where there is a lot of information passed for display by clicking the 'online' icon.

This is done using 'bb' with 'status'.

One of the values displayed is the number of web users.

I create a file of values for a history but I want to pass the value from each run to the Xymon as 'data' to 'bb'.

The pair from each run is: USERS:277 with the 277 changing with every 5 minute run.

I placed the script in the /home/xymon/server/ext directory called: SNMP-Juniper.sh

Per the Xymon Help à custom graphs document:

I edited the following files:

            /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg



                            # Tom Schmitt script in server/ext directory

            /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitgraph.cfg

            I only want to see a single line showing the number of USERS at the 5 minute timeframes.

            Added the following line: 

                            NCV_online="USERS:GAUGE"

I only see a small graph box with "X hobbitgraph ncv:online" in the box under the icons: online and trends

But no data graphed

If you click on it, you get the hourly, daily, weekly monthly graph as a small box with no data either.

Not sure if this will help or just mis-guide you so take with a grain of salt.

Your config looks very similar to one of the graphs I recently added for a NetApp box. One thing that I did differently is in the use of the names. Here is an example:

hobbitserver.cfg:NCV_NA2CPU="NA2CPU:GAUGE" NA2CPU=ncv is also defined in the other two vars in that file.

New subject: [hobbit] RE: Trying to create a graph

Tim, Pardon me for asking, but I am trying to compare and isolate my problem.

What is the name and location of the script your are running?

Usually in server/ext directory. What is the name of the ICON to place the graph under? What does the 'bb' command that sends the data look like? And, what does the data pair(s) look like? E.g. "USERS:228" or "USERS : 229", etc.

What did you add to hobbitlaunch.cfg?

     Thanks,

Tom,

For this test the hobbitserver is the client, so client/ext/somescript.sh is where the script is at. Sorry I completely missed that when looking at what you wrote!

So from client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg: [NA2CPU] ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/na2.sh LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/na2.log INTERVAL 2m

Script outputs same data format as yours ... NA2CPU="$EGREP Busy $datafile | $AWK '{print $2}'"

if [ $NA2CPU -gt 78 ] then COLOR=red MSG="na2 CPU load is high" fi $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR date

New subject: [hobbit] RE: Trying to create a graph

Tim, That worked for the example under HELP --> Custom Graphs. (slab works just fine ...) But, I am still having a problem getting a graph for my data.

Question:
	You have a MSG= set but you don't send it in the

'status' message? You do send the pair space separated though.

	I am sending about 8 lines of information from the MIBS

of the Juniper first. Then sending the PAIR of values.

	I originally was doing a 'status' and then a 'data' 'bb'

command and that did not work.

After I have parsed the information, it looks like this when you

click the ICON (IP changed):

	Wed Jun 9 15:33:59 MDT 2010

USERS :  335

The 'USERS : 335' is the value to use as a pair.

Here is the snippet of code where I send it in from: /home/xymon/client/ext/SNMP-Juniper.sh L=log-file

  # Now we send the status message to Xymon
    # ---------------------------------------
    BB=/home/xymon/server/bin/bb

    RC=$?

        echo -e "        Return Code from STATUS 'bb':  0"

New subject: [hobbit] RE: Trying to create a graph

Tom,

I am sending only 1 line of data, there is another example below where I send 3 lines of data and use two. The MSG var was a sloppy leftover from snagging an example script, probably slabinfo - disregard it.

When changing a graph stanza in hobbitgraph.cfg I normally kill the old rrd file. There are ways to parse those rrd files to see what info is in there (look at rrdtool dump options). Might be a good idea to see if you are even getting the data or if you are getting NAN. NA2CPU : ${NA2CPU} note the quoting

By the way, what do you have in: /home/xymon/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg?

I'm sure that others on the list who are more familiar with this can assist if you are not able to sort it out with my scattered bits of info....

Here is another example where data is sent and graphed:

            I originally was doing a 'status' and then a 'data' 'bb'
command and that did not work.
    After I have parsed the information, it looks like this when you
click the ICON (IP changed):

The 'USERS : 335' is the value to use as a pair.

If you have no graph, you could click on the magnifying glass, which is located on the right of the graph. Often that will show an error message, which gives a clue about the problem.

In your case the number of lines with a colon in it might be a problem. NCV might find multiple Name-Colon-Value triplets, and RRD will then complain about undefined datasets. In such cases, I replace all colons outside the intended NCV triplets by ":", a colon in HTML parlance.

Not sure if this will help or just mis-guide you so take with a grain of salt.

Your config looks very similar to one of the graphs I recently added for a NetApp box. One thing that I did differently is in the use of the names. Here is an example:

hobbitserver.cfg:NCV_NA2CPU="NA2CPU:GAUGE" NA2CPU=ncv is also defined in the other two vars in that file.

All assistance is greatly appreciated!

I have a simple number that I want to have graphed in Xymon. Running 4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.4.

One of the values displayed is the number of web users. I create a file of values for a history but I want to pass the value from each run to the Xymon as 'data' to 'bb'.

The pair from each run is: USERS:277 with the 277 changing with every 5 minute run.

I placed the script in the /home/xymon/server/ext directory called: SNMP-Juniper.sh

Per the Xymon Help --> custom graphs document:

I edited the following files:

            /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg

                            # Tom Schmitt script in server/ext

            I only want to see a single line showing the number of

USERS at the 5 minute timeframes.

New subject: [hobbit] RE: Trying to create a graph

Tom,

I am only sending the data as "NA2CPU : 25" without the quotes and where 25 is some variable that was extracted from a datafile (which in turn was created by parsing some MIB data). By client display I mean the test appears in the web gui in the same row as tests for the server's cpu/ram/httpd/disk, etc. It has a column heading of NA2CPU and the (hopefully) green icon is in this column.

I'll read you other mail which has more details later today to see if we are even speaking of the same thing.

Regards,

Tim

two things I would look at

1.) See if you have actual data in the rrd file, if not, no graph (rrdtool dump FILENAME) 2.) See if changeing it from label:value to label : value makes a difference.
