I have been requested recently to install FreeBSD clients. Version is: 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0. I have the client running, but see some issues with the trends. Disk & Memory trends are missing. Vmstat trends graph data incorrectly, since it expects the vmstat data in a different order.

Could you post the contents of the client data - specifically, the "meminfo", "swapinfo" and "vmstat" sections ?

I attached the client data to this email. Also a correction to my earlier post, I am missing most of the trend graphs. The ones that are created are; vmstat, netstat, ifstat.

Think I found my issue. the hostname was causing the lack of those graphs.
hostanme was in caps and had an underscore, i.e. COOL_SERVER.domain.com. So I
forced the client to be coolserver.domain.com.

The vmstat issue is still outstanding since the order of the fields is not what hobbit expects.

Am I correct that you see only part of the vmstat trends ?

I can guess where the problem is:

According to the "do_vmstat.c" the vmstat layout used for FreeBSD is:

/* This one matches FreeBSD 4.10 */ /* LARRD 0.43c compatible */ static vmstat_layout_t vmstat_freebsd_layout[] = { { 0, "cpu_r" }, { 1, "cpu_b" }, { 2, "cpu_w" }, { 3, "mem_avm" }, { 4, "mem_free" }, { 5, "mem_flt" }, { 6, "mem_re" }, { 7, "mem_pi" }, { 8, "mem_po" }, { 9, "mem_fr" }, { 10, "sr" }, { 11, "dsk_da0" }, { 12, "dsk_fd0" }, { 13, "cpu_int" }, { 15, "cpu_csw" }, { 16, "cpu_sys" }, { 17, "cpu_usr" }, { 18, "cpu_idl" }, { -1, NULL } };

But vmstat output (in FreeBSD versions 4,5,6,7) is: procs memory page disks faults cpu r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr da0 da1 in sy cs us sy id

where "disks" part depends on the number of disks in the system (1 or 2 in case of running vmstat without -n parameter)

probably an alternative could be run "vmstat -n 1" (limit vmstat to the single drive ) and change vmstat_freebsd_layout to:

static vmstat_layout_t vmstat_freebsd_layout[] = { { 0, "cpu_r" }, { 1, "cpu_b" }, { 2, "cpu_w" }, { 3, "mem_avm" }, { 4, "mem_free" }, { 5, "mem_flt" }, { 6, "mem_re" }, { 7, "mem_pi" }, { 8, "mem_po" }, { 9, "mem_fr" }, { 10, "mem_sr" }, { 11, "dsk_0" }, { 12, "f_in" }, { 13, "f_sy" }, { 15, "f_cs" }, { 16, "cpu_usr" }, { 17, "cpu_sys" }, { 18, "cpu_idl" }, { -1, NULL } };
