Subhash,

Check out how data is collected for disk volumes. I think you want to create a different data set for each element, and then you can use the matching items (like is used for the disk graphs) to plot all of the relevant items in the same set of graphs.

Hi,
 
May be I need to put this more clearly.
 
Few custom test are running on the host side on windows systems

which measures print queue length of the print server. Hobbit is receiving data in the following format from the host systems. From Server 1 3/13/2006 Total queued jobs: 0 PRN324:0 PRN323:0 PRN142:0 PRN141:0 PRN140:0 PRN139:0 PRN138:0 From server 2 3/13/2006 Total queued jobs: 0 PRN327:0 PRN203:0 PRN202:0 Initially I could thought of the following script to create rrd file but if I use this script the data existing in all the rrd files of different host is similar as am using the NAMES PRN327, PRN203, PRN202 to capture the values (different hosts has different names). The length of the NAMES are also not consistent across the hosts i.e. for server1 7 name:value are sent to hobbit & for server 2 only 3 name:value How can I make the script dynamic ? #!/bin/sh # Input parameters: Hostname, testname (column), and messagefile HOSTNAME="$1" TESTNAME="$2" FNAME="$3" if [ "$TESTNAME" = "printq" ] then p1=grep "^PRN327:" $FNAME | awk '{print $2}' p2=grep "^PRN203:" $FNAME | awk '{print $2}' p3=grep "^PRN202:" $FNAME | awk '{print $2}' # The RRD dataset definitions echo "DS:p1:GAUGE:600:0:U" echo "DS:p2:GAUGE:600:0:U" echo "DS:p3:GAUGE:600:0:U" # The filename echo "printq.rrd" # The data echo "$p1:$p2:$p3" fi exit 0 And how can I make the configuration even dynamic in the hobbitgraph.cfg [printq] TITLE Print Queue Status YAXIS Print Queue Length DEF:p1=printq.rrd:PRN327:AVERAGE DEF:p2=printq.rrd:PRN203:AVERAGE DEF:p3=printq.rrd:PRN202:AVERAGE AREA:p1#00FF00: PRN 327 GPRINT:p1:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:p1:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:p1:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:p1:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n AREA:p2#FF0000: PRN 230 GPRINT:p2:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:p2:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:p2:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:p2:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n AREA:p3#0000FF: PRN 202 GPRINT:p3:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:p3:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:p3:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:p3:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

Please let me know, if more information is required.

Hi, 

We have few custom tests that measures printq of the print

server (windows).

How can I write a script to create a rrd file and generate

graphs.

For example 

P Server 1 
3/13/2006 Total queued jobs: 0 
PRN324:0 
PRN323:0 
PRN142:0 
PRN141:0 
PRN140:0 
PRN139:0 
PRN138:0 

P Server 2 
3/13/2006 Total queued jobs: 0 
PRN314:0 
PRN137:0 
PRN136:0 

How to count the number of columns that vary from host to host. 

The column names are not common for all the hosts. 

Can any one help me further ? 

if [ "$TESTNAME"="printq" ]
then

p1=`grep "^PRN*:" $FNAME | awk '{print $2}'`
p2=`grep "^PRN*:" $FNAME | awk '{print $2}'`
p3=`grep "^PRN*:" $FNAME | awk '{print $2}'` 

# The RRD dataset definitions
echo "DS:p1:GAUGE:600:0:U"
echo "DS:p2:GAUGE:600:0:U"
echo "DS:p3:GAUGE:600:0:U" 
# The filename 
echo "printq.rrd" 
# The data
echo "$p1:$p2:$p3"
