Hi fellow XYmonians,

I have a script that periodically checks my DSL speed and reports 2 values:

Download : 13400801 Upload : 1027604

which are Bit/s. Actually it reports MBit/s and I recalculate the Bits. Now I want to graph these values.

This is what I have in graphs.cfg:

[speed] TITLE DSL Speed Info YAXIS Mbit/s DEF:Download=speed.rrd:Download:AVERAGE DEF:Upload=speed.rrd:Upload:AVERAGE LINE2:Download#00CCCC:Download LINE2:Upload#FF0000:Upload COMMENT:\n GPRINT:Download:LAST:Download \: %2.2lf%s (cur) GPRINT:Download:MAX:Download \: %2.2lf%s (max) GPRINT:Download:MIN:Download \: %2.2lf%s (min) GPRINT:Download:AVERAGE:Download \: %2.2lf%s (avg)\n GPRINT:Upload:LAST:Upload \: %2.2lf%s (cur) GPRINT:Upload:MAX:Upload \: %2.2lf%s (max) GPRINT:Upload:MIN:Upload \: %2.2lf%s (min) GPRINT:Upload:AVERAGE:Upload \: %2.2lf%s (avg)\n

and this is in xymonserver.cfg:

TEST2RRD="...,speed=ncv,..." GRAPHS="...,speed" NCV_speed="Download:GAUGE,Upload:GAUGE"

The test runs every 20 minutes and I can see in speed.rrd the values on top of the file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE rrd SYSTEM "http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/rrdtool.dtd"> <!-- Round Robin Database Dump --> <rrd> <version>0003</version> <step>300</step> <!-- Seconds --> <lastupdate>1443085347</lastupdate> <!-- 2015-09-24 11:02:27 CEST -->

            <min>NaN</min>
            <max>NaN</max>

            <!-- PDP Status -->
            <last_ds>13400801</last_ds>
            <value>NaN</value>
            <unknown_sec> 147 </unknown_sec>
    </ds>

    <ds>
            <name> Upload </name>
            <type> GAUGE </type>
            <minimal_heartbeat>600</minimal_heartbeat>
            <min>NaN</min>
            <max>NaN</max>

            <!-- PDP Status -->
            <last_ds>1027604</last_ds>
            <value>NaN</value>
            <unknown_sec> 147 </unknown_sec>
    </ds>

But these values are not passed down to the "archive" section of the file. So I might be missing something or maybe my graph definition is wrong. Can someone with a little bit more knowledge of RRD shed some light on this.

Thanks Torsten
