creating custom graphs
I have a follow up question - I'm now able to get an rrd file generated on my xymon server - woot! But I don't have a graph to go along with it. I'm using data message type and this is what is in my rrd file - I'm under the impression that this should create a graph that shows up in my trends page, but no graph on trends page. The value that I'm sending is solcpu : 2 (percent cpu used). I'm guessing that is what is the the <last_ds> 2 </last_ds> field. Does anyone know what the other fields are?

I have some Solaris servers that I can't install the xymon binaries on so I'm going to try writing my own scripts to replicate the default xymon data. I successfully tested sending messages directly to port 1984 from my client to my xymon server, but I'm not clear on how data that is in graphs is sent/generated. For instance, if I wanted to generate a cpu graph, I can send the cpu values but I'm not sure what I would then need to do in order to generate the rrd graphs. Can anyone point me toward any documentation for this?
thanks, EJ

If you want the graph included with the other graphs on the trends column, you must add it to the GRAPHS setting in the ~xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg file. GRAPHS="la,disk,<... lots more ...>,xymonproxy,xymond,slab" You might also need to add it to the line TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk ..."
Sorry I don't know about the rrd data question. Steve

The whole "solcpu" DS block describes the data set being collected. You'll need to check the manual pages on creating custom graphs and create an entry in server/etc/graphs.cfg to match the column name and the solcpu DS that you're reporting.
