You gave us the first part of rrd dump, but you should also check to see whether rrd has any data in it. Is the graph's png showing up, but showing NaN? Is the graph not showing up at all?

It sounds silly, but try putting spaces in your output so it looks like this:

order_gen : 19

It seems like I've had that issue before too. I have about 25 extra tests I'm doing, and I use spaces in all of them.

Hello All,

I'm trying to create a custom script/graph that graphs some data from a mssql server. I've got the service (order_gen) and page showing up in hobbit, with the following output:

*Sun Nov 5 22:18:50 EST 2006*

There are currently 19 requests in the *ORDER GENERATION* queue

order_gen:19

Status unchanged in 9 hours, 17 minutes Status message received from 172.31.22.50

I've defined the following in hobbitserver.cfg:

TEST2RRD="……,order_gen=ncv"

.

.

.

NCV_order_gen="order_gen:GAUGE"

.

.

GRAPHS="……,order_gen"

It's creating an RRD under the hostname called order_gen.rrd. While trying to figure out why there is no graph coming up for this, I ran "rrdtool dump order_gen.rrd". Here's what's coming out:

    <ds>

            <name> ordergen </name>

            <type> DERIVE </type>

I've search high and low on the hobbit archives looking for a similar situation, and can't find it, even though I thought I had seen it while originally working on these scripts on Friday. Can someone help me with the next steps on this? I'm not sure where to look next. This is my first custom graph, and it was a fun adventure in diving into how some things work in hobbit. After some trial and error, I've got 4 graphs working that are doing the same thing, which is trending different information from our main clinical app into hobbit for management perusal. This is the only one that's "out of order".

TIA,

Al
