Feature request, CPU utilization graph
Hi.
The CPU utilization graphs on the trends page is missing info. The utilization "types" do not add upp to 100% all the time. I suspect that IO wait and maybe some other types are missing from the graphs. You can see what I mean if you check the attached graph. It would be nice to get the remaining info into the graph as well.

For AIX, I have this in my bb-hosts file: TRENDS:*vmstat:vmstat1
This will load the vmstat1 graph instead of the vmstat graph. You can experiment with other graphs. The available definitions can be found in hobbitgraph.cfg

Hi.
Thanks for your reply. I didn't think about checking the graphs.cfg file. I guess I want to change from vmstat to vmstat1 for all of our linux hosts, and it will look better. Can I change the defaults somewhere, or do I need to add it in hosts.cfg for each host? I see that there are also a number of other interesting graphs that I can add.

If you have your Linux hosts grouped together in the hosts.cfg file, you can use the ".default." definition:
Configure Linux hosts to show vmstat1 by default
0.0.0.0 .default. # TRENDS:*,vmstat:vmstat1 10.0.0.1 linux1 # 10.0.0.1 linux2 #
Clear the default settings
0.0.0.0 .default.

Thanks. We don't have the hosts grouped by OS, but maybe I can change the overall default anyway, since the vmstat graphs don't show up at all for Windows hosts? Or will that cause broken graphs on the trends pages for the Windows hosts?

Hello List,
Apologies for posting here a BB question, but we all know the best BB brains are now here! ;-)
I have an installation of BB 1.9i with larrd 0.43e and bbgen 3.6 . I just noticed that under the Availability Report page, the latest selectable year is 2010.
Does anyone know how to get 2011 and following years into the picture?
Thanks in advance
Loris

Hi Loris,

well, we can always try to persuade You to switch to Xymon ...

You'll have to modify the bbgen-3.6/lib/headfoot.c code. Search for REPYEARLIST (around line 180) and change the end year from 2010 (really? It says 2009 in my original source, so maybe you already did the modification last year) to whatever you like. Recompile and copy the new bbdisplay/bbgen binary to the bin directory.
Alternatively, you can modify the web/report_form template and replace the &REPYEARLIST placeholder with a suitable set of <option value="2010">2010</option> html tags.
Regards Henrik
PS: No, this does NOT mean that I will support bbgen any longer.

I don't think it will be a problem for Windows hosts, since they don't have a "vmstat" graph at all.
However, if you have a server with a vmstat graph, but it is one of those that don't have data for the "vmstat1" graph (with the disk I/O), then the graph for that host will break. But if you only have Linux or Solaris servers, then it should work fine.
(All of this dates back to the historical roots of Xymon, where the "vmstat" data that was collected from the clients was stored in an RRD file that used different formats depending on what OS the data was from. I should have changed that when Hobbit was invented, but instead I stayed compatible with the old data...)
Regards, Henrik
Hi.
We have a few solaris hosts, and I had to override the vmstat1 definition for them, since it did not work. But everything looks good now. Thanks.
