There is already a way to get the single graphs out of the big graph, although not displayed automatically. The trick is to use the "count" and "first" keywords in the URL to hobbitgraph.sh

So for example, I have a host that has 7 disk partitions graphed in a single graph. If I right-click the graph, and copy the URL, I get:

httx://myhobbit.com/hobbit-cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=myhost&service=disk&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=1&count=7&disp=myhost&nostale&color=green&graph=hourly&action=view

Now, see the "first" and "count" in the URL? First is the first dataset that will be plotted, and count is how many from that one to display. So if you wanted to see the first disk partition, and only the first, you would use the same URL except with count=1 (&first=1&count=1). Using this method, you can easily generate graphs of any single or /sequential/ group of datasets. For instance if you only wanted to see the 3rd, 4th, and 5th disk partitions, you would use "&first=3&count=3". In your example screen-shot, to get a graph of just "Pool_Available", you would use "&first=4&count=1".

I hope that makes sense :) I know that is not exactly what you want, I agree it would be cool if anywhere a graph was displayed you could optionally toggle the datasets on or off, but hopefully this trick will give you what you need for now.

Hi all

What I am trying to do is to have the same test produce 2 or more sets of graph on the test page itself, like for example the disk column but the graphs would contain separate values of data

I have for example script monitoring jboss application server and have data in the test like this..

*Jboss Memory Usage : *

Mem.Maximum : 1211 M Mem.Used : 870 M Mem.Free : 341 M

*Jboss DataBase Connection Pool Status*

Blocking Timeout 10000 Idle Timeout 60 Min Connections 40 Max Connections 100

*Jboss DataBase Connection Pool usage :*

Pool.Available : 100 Pool.Used : 0

*Jboss Active Thread Count : *

Thread.count : 1294

hobbit graph ncv:jboss <http://192.168.160.65/hobbit-cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=cfapp-1&service=ncv:jboss&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&disp=cfapp%2d1&nostale&action=menu>

And I would like to have graph for each section of the test I did patch hobbit with the splitncv patch ..but to my disappointment that that did not help me a lot.. L

So for this specific test I would like to have memory / pool / thread count all in separate graphs..

Please comment on this if you have any clue on what to do..and if not.. then this is a feature request :D

Regards

Hi All

Does anyone know if it is possible to create multiple graphs pr/test page from NCV module in hobbit ?..

And if so.. how J
