I've spent way too much time trying to figure this out. I've read, re-read, and re-re-read a variety of documentation over and over again trying to get this to work. Help!

I wrote a script to collect data. I'm sending it to Xymon (v4.3.12) with something like the following:

"${XYMON}" "${XYMSRV}" '@' <<-EOT data ${MACHINE}.trends [${RRDNAME}.rrd]

DS:cnt:ABSOLUTE:600:0:U ${CNTVAL}

DS:pct:GAUGE:600:0:100 ${PCTVAL} EOT

Even without any special configuration in *xymonserver.cfg*, the data is accepted by the Xymon server and recorded in the expected RRD file. *rrdtool dump* on the file shows what I'd expect to see.

I created a *graphs.cfg* config for the data. I can view a graph of the data using *showgraph.sh*.

According to all the documentation I can find, to add the graph to the (client) machine's trends column, I need to add the graph name to the *$GRAPHS* definition in *xymonserver.cfg*, which I've done. I've then restarted *xymond*. But the graph doesn't show up in the trends column.

Just in case, I also added the graph name to the *$TEST2RRD* definition in *xymonserver.cfg*, then restarted *xymond*. Still no graph in trends. Added "=ncv" after the graph name in the *$TEST2RRD* definition and restarted *xymond*. No good.

Added the graph name to the *TRENDS* option in the client machine's *hosts.cfg* entry. No good.

In all cases, I restarted *xymond* using *service xymon restart*.

I'm tailing *~xymon/log/*.log* while doing all of this and seeing nothing that would indicate a problem with the graph definition or *xymonserver.cfg* .

Help!
