Hi all..

I'm probably reinventing the wheel, but i've been looking too long and think i might be missing something. Running xymon4.3.2 server on linux and the client is hobbit 4.2.0 on HPUX 11.11

I need to get some kind of sar -d or iostat graph going, which I've done halfway sucessfully. I don't know whether there already is a scrupt that does this, but the only mention I find is bb-sar which i battled witha bit and then decided to write my own one.

I run sar -d for 5 minutes, take the averages, and parse them to the hobbit server like this: c31t6d0 : 98 c34t6d0 : 10 c14t2d5 : 0 c14t2d4 : 0 c14t5d1 : 0 c14t0d0 : 77 c14t0d1 : 63 c14t6d7 : 54 c14t7d0 : 25 c14t7d1 : 98 c14t7d2 : 49 c14t1d2 : 40 c14t5d0 : 0

This is just the "percent busy" on the disk.

Currently i'm getting all 13 values in one graph, which is a mess. http://i.imgur.com/ZedTt.png

All 13 values are in one RRD file.

How do I split them up like the page for disk, where each graph has 4 trends? Also I see mention of iostat here and there, but only in sun-os and irix
