Greetings,

Recently i have been trying to create a custom script that grabs cpu utilization percentage, however when i try to get it to graph, it will not work... I have read the man page for hobbitd_rrd as well as the message thread "custom RRD data" in the hobbit mailing list archives, however i still cannot get it to work.

Here is my client script: #!/usr/bin/bash BBPROG=bb-cpu2.sh; export BBPROG

TEST="cpu2"

if test "$BBHOME" = "" then echo "BBHOME is not set... exiting" exit 1 fi

if test ! "$BBTMP" # GET DEFINITIONS IF NEEDED then # echo "*** LOADING BBDEF ***" . $BBHOME/etc/bbdef.sh # INCLUDE STANDARD DEFINITIONS fi

NOW COLLECT SOME DATA

TOTAL_IDLE_CPU=vmstat 1 5 |tail -n 4 | awk '{ print $18 }'| perl -ne '$cnt+= $_; print "$cnt \n"' |tail -n 1| perl -ne '$cnt+= $_; print $cnt' IDLE_CPU=$EXPR $TOTAL_IDLE_CPU / 4 USED_CPU=$EXPR 100 - $IDLE_CPU

if [ $USED_CPU -ge "75" ] then if [ $USED_CPU -lt 90 ] then COLOR="yellow" GIFCOLOR="&yellow" STATUS="warn" else COLOR="red" GIFCOLOR="&red" STATUS="panic" fi else COLOR="green" GIFCOLOR="&green" STATUS="ok" fi

AT THIS POINT WE HAVE OUR RESULTS. NOW WE HAVE TO SEND IT TO

THE BBDISPLAY TO BE DISPLAYED...

$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR date - $STATUS Used CPU: $USED_CPU"

Here is my feeder script on the server side: #!/bin/sh

Input parameters: Hostname, testname (column), and messagefile

HOSTNAME="$!" TESTNAME="$2" FNAME="$3"

#CPU2

if [ "$TESTNAME" = "cpu2" ] then # Analyze the message we got cpu2=grep "^OK - " $FNAME | awk '{ print $11 }'

   # The RRD dataset definitions
    echo "DS:cpu2:GAUGE:600:0:100"

    # The filename
    echo "cpu2.rrd"

    # The data
    echo "$cpu2"

fi

exit 0

i also edited the following lines in the following files: hobbitgraph.cfg [cpu2] TITLE CPU Utilization Percentage YAXIS Percentage DEF:cpu2=cpu2.rrd:cpu2:AVERAGE LINE2:cpu2#00CCCC:CPU Utilization COMMENT:\n GPRINT:cpu2:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:cpu2:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:cpu2:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:cpu2:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

And then i have restarted the Hobbit server multiple times since then and Hobbit says "Hobbit cpu2 graph" however, the server piece never seems to create the rrd file.

Any ideas??

thanks, Adam
