New graph display problems.
I have created a new test in DEVMON and now have an issue with it not displaying the graphs in the status page. It is displaying fine in the trends page. In testing this I found that the only devmon test that is displaying in the status page is if_load.
I am at work and as such am blocked from searching the archives to see if that has been answered already.

Kevin,
I have created a new test in DEVMON and now have an issue with it not displaying the graphs in the status page. It is displaying fine in the trends page. In testing this I found that the only devmon test that is displaying in the status page is if_load.
How are you processing the devmon data into the RRD? What have you added to TEST2RRD= line in hobbitserver.cfg (or server.cfg on 4.3)?
I have found that if you use TEST2RRD="mytest=devmon" then it won't display on the mytest page. if_load may be hard-coded to be handled by devmon RRD handler (haven't checked the source).
My workaround was to copy the hobbitserver.cfg to say hobbithostcgi.cfg and remove the =devmon substrings, then change hobbitcgi.cfg to use the new file
hobbitsvc.cgi options for a normal (current) status display
CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbithostcgi.cfg --no-svcid --history=top" #CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg --no-svcid --history=top"

How are you processing the devmon data into the RRD? What have you added to TEST2RRD= line in hobbitserver.cfg (or server.cfg on 4.3)?
Yes it is in xymonserver.cfg And I am running 4.3.0
status view of a test should include a graph.
TEST2RRD="if_dsc=devmon,if_load=devmon,temp=devmon,itp_msu=devmon,cpu=la,disk,
I have found that if you use TEST2RRD="mytest=devmon" then it won't display on the mytest page. if_load may be hard-coded to be handled by devmon RRD handler (haven't checked the source).
My workaround was to copy the hobbitserver.cfg to say hobbithostcgi.cfg and remove the =devmon substrings, then change hobbitcgi.cfg to use the new file
Xymon 4.3.0 has "cgioptions.cfg"
hobbitsvc.cgi options for a normal (current) status display
CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbithostcgi.cfg --no-svcid --history=top" #CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg --no-svcid --history=top"
This is not this way in 4.3.0
XYMONENV=/usr/local/bb/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
svcstatus.cgi options for a normal (current) status display
CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=$XYMONENV --no-svcid --history=top"
I will change the $ XYMONENV to the new config file with the =devmon removed as you suggested and see what happens. Would this not just be the same as just leving things as they are and just removing the =devmon from the current xymonserver.cfg file?

I haven't bitten the bullet on migrating to 4.3 yet so I haven't got the new filenames burnt in yet ;)

If you remove =devmon then the RRD data collector won't process the data reported by devmon into the RRD files. So you have a choice - data but no graph, or graph but no data - neither that useful :(

This has proven to have a very interesting outcome. I now have graphs on new report and the if_load is no longer on the status page.
