I'm trying to add a new graph to a test using NCV (SPLITNCV actually). I read through the graphing tips, I read several emails that provided hints (not my exact problem but nudged me the right way)...
long story short. I finally got he graph to show up on my test page...but the rrd file doesn't seem to be populating the fields as expected when I run "rrdtool dump". The only thing I can figure is that the test I'm performing doesn't run every 5 minutes but every 15 minutes. Does that matter? I would have expected in the worst case that only every 3rd row would have a value.
What am I missing here? Note, I dropped my test to run every 5 minutes to see if this theory is true.
As a side note, it would be extremely helpful if the NCV component didn't look at the entire status but required a comment block (for example) to contain it. That way you could keep your data stream isolated from your message. For example:
<!-- NCV data metric1: 123 metric2: 456 etc -->
My test kept creating an rrd file for a date string that was part of the status message. That's a bit annoying.

Firstly, remember that the rrd specifies how much data must be valid for it to work. so if 66% of your data is unknown, then it probably isn't going to work.
While running it every 5 minutes, you need to also remember that by default xymon will cache the rrd updates from being written to the rrd file by up to 30 minutes, so try waiting a bit longer and looking at older data within the rrd.
As a side note, it would be extremely helpful if the NCV component didn't look at the entire status but required a comment block (for example) to contain it. That way you could keep your data stream isolated from your message. For example:
<!-- NCV data metric1: 123 metric2: 456 etc -->

Yes, but then you lose the advantage and simplicity of the ncv format. Make sure your data is being sent in the correct format so you only include the data in the right format.
PS, I think I recall you could send the data in a "data" message and then also send the "pretty" stuff in a status message. I'm on holidays right now, so can't double check what I did with this.

Hello,
I'm trying to add a new graph to a test using NCV (SPLITNCV actually). I read through the graphing tips, I read several emails that provided hints (not my exact problem but nudged me the right way)...

The only thing I can figure is that the test I'm performing doesn't run every 5 minutes but every 15 minutes. Does that matter? I would have expected in the worst case that only every 3rd row would have a value.
What am I missing here? Note, I dropped my test to run every 5 minutes to see if this theory is true. Is the DS type DERIVE or COUNTER? In that case two successive samples, which are 5 minutes apart, are needed to create one data point in the graph.
As a side note, it would be extremely helpful if the NCV component didn't look at the entire status but required a comment block (for example) to contain it. That way you could keep your data stream isolated from your message. For example:
<!-- NCV data metric1: 123 metric2: 456 etc -->
Perhaps you can use the devmon format, which encapsulates the data to trend in an HTML comment section. In that case, one would have to specify "test=devmon" in stead of "test=ncv" in variable TEST2RRD. There is no need for an NCV_Something variable, as the DS definition is included with the data to trend.
My test kept creating an rrd file for a date string that was part of the status message. That's a bit annoying.
There are (at least) two ways to circumvent that problem: A) Add "*:NONE" to the NCV_Something variable; B) Replace all occurrences of ":" and "=" outside the NCV part by their HTML equivalent, thus ":" and "=".
Regards, Wim Nelis.
Thanks for the replies. Adam's reply regarding the way RRD handles the data makes sense. Once I move the test to run every 5 minutes, it did begin to populate the graph. I let it run for hours with the 15 minute run without success (looks like RRD stops caring after 10 minutes). I'll look more into RRD to see if there is some easy way to have this work since it's a valid need to have tests that run less often but you still want to graph for trending purposes. Likely just a user education issue.
I looked at the data message but the man page seemed to indicate that this would only populate a graph only for the trends page. I may revisit it since when I stopped trying to use it, I was still running at 15 minute intervals.
per WJM's comment, It's a GUAGE, actually. I may look at the devmon option. I may not have been clear on the request to have the data be restricted somehow for the status. It's too easy to have NCV trigger since '=' and ':' are fairly common separators when one provides output. I love the flexibility of NCV but that little foible is a bit annoying. Also note, even when I defined NONE, it still creates an rrd file (I used SPLITNCV). It would also be difficult to set that up for a string that looks like this:
Thu Apr 16 22:33:41 EDT 2015
and creates a rrd file named test,Thu_Apr_16_22.rrd
that is going to create a new rrd file every hour.
Having to filter the content to change it to use the html entities is (IMHO) a hack that shouldn't be needed. The devmon test apparently already requires this so it really doesn't seem too unreasonable for NCV to handle it the same way.
Just throwing it out there...it's graphing along and I'm happy I was able to figure it out.

You probably need to create the RRDs manually. I don't recall the details, but you can specify how often samples should arrive and how many can be missed before it records not-a-number (NaN). The default sample interval is 5 minutes, and I think if you miss two that counts as NaN. That fits with your observed loss of graphs.
Xymon doesn't care who created the RRD, so you should be able to create one with the rrdtool command line program that would work with 15 minute samples.

The "heartbeat" determines how long RRD will wait (in seconds) before it mis-trust the next value received. It relates to the "step". It's a bit complicated, but check out the man page for rrdcreate for a good explanation.
On 17 April 2015 at 13:25, Ralph Mitchell <ralphmitchell at gmail.com> wrote:
You probably need to create the RRDs manually.
If the RRD file already exists, you can adjust the heartbeat using "rrdtune".
There are some RRD parameters you can pre-set in the rrddefinitions.cfg file, to override the defaults for creating new RRD files. Unfortunately, the heartbeat doesn't appear to be one of them, but "step" is, if that helps.
If you use the "more advanced" method of feeding data in, using "trends" messages, then you can specify the heartbeat, as well as min and max, when you send the data samples. The very first time Xymon receives a trends message, it will create the RRD file with the given heartbeat/min/max, but these will (I think) be ignored for all subsequent updates.
I think the moral of the story is that if you want maximum flexibility, create a trends message (as well as a status message if required). If you want standard RRD files and parameters, use "NCV". If you want to display non-data with colons and equals, use "devmon".

Hello,
yes, IBM MQ is a different product, working differently but from the same family.
CFT seems very specific to France.
If that can help someone in the futur, here what I found:
I found here a nagios exemple: http://wiki.tuxunix.com/index.php/Doc_CFT (in French)
- usage of these commands: cftping -v cft (motor state) cftlog (log access) cftutil listcat state=KH (state of flows in the catalog)
Cordialement, Regards,Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

I agree with the custom Xymon script. I set-up monitoring for IBM's MQ transfer software (sounds like CFT is Europe's version) at a security exchange and it was all done via scripts running MQ commands.

My immediate thought is to ask how you monitor it now. Can this process be automated? If so, then it probably could be turned into a custom Xymon test.

My google-fu says "combat fitness test"... Betting that's wrong.
Please do share, what is CFT in your world?
