I am currently using ncv to graph some of my cisco switches temperature. And would like to use it to graph some of my DC Power Plant and UPS Temps. The cisco switch columns are called temps and the dc power plant and upss columns are called temp. The cisco switches are working but the dc power plants and upss arent. I have put 2 entries into the hobbit-server.cfg:
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp,di g=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apache,bind,sendmail,ma ilq,nmailq=ma
q,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,files,procs=proces ses,ports,clock,lines,if_load=devmon,temp=ncv,temps=ncv,processor=ncv"
NCV_temps="TEMP:GAUGE"
NCV_temp="*:GAUGE"
And here is what my hobbitgraph.cfg looks like:
[temp]
TITLE Temperature
YAXIS Celsius
DEF:in at RRDIDX@=temp.rrd:TEMP:AVERAGE
AREA:in at RRDIDX@#00CC00:@RRDPARAM@ Temperature
GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:LAST: %5.1lf %s (cur)
GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:MAX: %5.1lf %s (max)
GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:MIN: %5.1lf %s (min)
GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: %5.1lf %s (avg)\n[temps]
TITLE Temperature
YAXIS Celsius
DEF:in at RRDIDX@=temps.rrd:TEMP:AVERAGE
AREA:in at RRDIDX@#00CC00:@RRDPARAM@ Temperature
GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:LAST: %5.1lf %s (cur)
GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:MAX: %5.1lf %s (max)
GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:MIN: %5.1lf %s (min)
GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: %5.1lf %s (avg)\nAnd here is what I have in my DC Power Plant message file for devmon:
<!--
TEMP: {temp}
-->
{temp.color} Interal Temperature: {temp}°C ({tempF}°F)
And here is what I have in my UPSs message file for devmon:
<!--
TEMPA: {battTempA}
TEMPB: {battTempB}
-->
{battTempA.color} Battery Temperature: {battTempA}°C ({battTempAF}°F)
{battTempB.color} Transformer Temperature: {battTempB}°C ({battTempBF}°F)
I dont know if that is the proper way to use ncv for multiple values
Any ideas on why it isnt graphing.

Are you sure that asterisk is OK?? You can check the rrd to see if data is being recorded:
rrdtool dump data/rrd/<hostname>/temp.rrdor something similar.

Well I had it as "TEMP:GAUGE" and wasn't getting anything either. So I saw on another post where someone had "*:GAUGE" and decided to try that. Still not getting anything though. I am not even getting a temp.rrd file created.

Looking at what you get from devmon, you also need to cater for TEMPA and TEMPB.
I just want to confirm that the column headings for these are actually displayed as temp and temps. Is this correct?
Can I ask you to test something?
It may be that the data you are sending through is confusing the ncv code.
From a command line on a host with hobbit installed, fake a message up to the server with some dummy data.
Something like .....
$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$TEST green date
TEMP: 55
"
After you run this, check that hobbit displays this data within the gui. Then check that an rrd has been created? If you don't get an rrd, then it is somewhere in the ncv configuration.
Cheers
