integration of foreign graphs
Hi !
Is there any "easy" method to integrate foreign graphs into xymon or rather into of an existing page of a host ?
The background is, i've got an script from my colleagues, which gathers data from ibm-Scale-Out-network-storage (SONAS), generats rrd's and corresponding png's which i want integrated in one page of xymon .....
Any hint is welcome ...
thanks & cheers

If the RRDs are already being generated, you can put symlinks from the respective host directory to the RRDs wherever they are as long as you have read access. Then add a section to graphs.cfg (you may need to use 'rrdtool info' to look at the variables and data) and make sure the graph name is added to GRAPHS variable in server.cfg so they will appear in the trends. A small gotcha is that the start of the file name of the RRD file has to match the graph name.
For example, I just created a bunch of symlinks under various SAN devices to point to the RRDs being generated for the interface they were connected to on the switch:
$ ls -l /var/lib/hobbit/rrd/fc01-1.fc.ausport.gov.au/ total 40 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Jun 8 16:49 if_load.c0pA.rrd -> ../fcsw01.fc.ausport.gov.au/if_load.10_1.rrd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Jun 8 16:50 if_load.c0pB.rrd -> ../fcsw01.fc.ausport.gov.au/if_load.9_1.rrd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Jun 8 16:49 if_load.c1pA.rrd -> ../fcsw01.fc.ausport.gov.au/if_load.10_2.rrd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Jun 8 16:50 if_load.c1pB.rrd -> ../fcsw01.fc.ausport.gov.au/if_load.9_2.rrd

If you need to deal directly with the rrd's, then David's response has you covered nicely.
If you don't need to deal with the rrd's directly, i.e. you have images already (png) or a UI for accessing the graphs (Cacti), then another approach *might* be easier. YMMV, of course. We use Cacti for our graphing needs and incorporate those graph(s) into Xymon via an updated "svcstatus.sh" cgi script. There is a config file that we have created to hold the "mapping" info:
~xymon/server/etc/cacti.cfg
host1.cpu:2345 host1.disk:745
host2.cpu:13 host2.disk:456 host2.disk:457 host2.disk:458 etc. etc.
where, above, the host and service are clear and are mapped to the local_graph_id in Cacti. The other side of the ":" could be anything though, as you will see. Assuming you are using the xymon dynamic status page setup, when you go to a particular status page in xymon you can see the host and service in the URL as parameters passed to svcstatus.sh. I have updated the svcstatus.sh to use the above config file to add a link into the displayed xymon page based on those parameters:
~xymon/cgi-bin/svcstatus.sh
#!/usr/bin/bash
This is a wrapper for the Xymon svcstatus.cgi script
. /usr/xymon/server/etc/cgioptions.cfg
Get HOST and SERVICE
export echo $QUERY_STRING | sed -e "s/\&.*$//"
export echo $QUERY_STRING | sed -e "s/^[^\&]*\&//"
for i in cat /usr/xymon/server/etc/cacti.cfg | grep "$HOST\.$SERVICE" | awk -F: '{ print $2 }'; do
Just appends multiple links/images/whatever to a temp file so you can get multiple images/graphs on the same page
echo -n "<\/TD><\/TR><\/TABLE><TABLE><TR><TD align=center><a href='http:\/\/our.cacti.host\/cacti\/graph.php?local_graph_id=$i\&rra_id=all' target='_blank'><img src='http:\/\/our.cacti.host\/cacti\/graph_image.php?local_graph_id=$i\&rra_id=1' border=0><\/a>" >> /tmp/cactigraph.$$ done
Get the temp file contents into a env variable for easy regexp use below
if [ -r /tmp/cactigraph.$$ ] ; then
CACTI=cat /tmp/cactigraph.$$
else
CACTI=""
fi
rm -f /tmp/cactigraph.$$
Insert the links in the output of the status page for display
if [ ! -z "$CACTI" ] ; then exec /usr/xymon/server/bin/svcstatus.cgi $CGI_SVC_OPTS | sed -e "s/<PRE>/$CACTI<PRE>/" else exec /usr/xymon/server/bin/svcstatus.cgi $CGI_SVC_OPTS fi
You can really make that link anything you need; for us it is a call to cacti using the local_graph_id but for an existing png you could make the other side of the ":" in the config file the png filename and just use a straight <img> tag. Hope this helps.

Xymond_rrd also has an option for an "external processor", which you can use to inject metrics data elsewhere as well. I was inserting directly into an OpenTSDB instance for a while using that and it worked fine.

Thanks a lot for answering !
David's suggestion was the hint which lead me to success, although i don't wanted to create graph definitions for the rrd's, because almost it sucks me :-)
Mark's solution is very interesting, and if i've got some time i will test it also ..
jc's pointer i didn't understand it .. :-( perhaps do you mean the option --extra-script for xymond_rrd ?
Thanks a lot & cheers

Yep. It can be used to intercept the data rrd is about to send off to rrdtool and send it to something else as well. I had a small script that converted lines from (say) disk utilization to relevant OpenTSDB metrics.
