[Xymon] Reporting

Hi and many thanks for this.

Just trying to fit this to my needs, I actually just want a text
report, no graphs so I've changed it to:

for I in `ls -1 TAB*/tcp.conn.rrd`; do
echo `dirname $I`
rrdtool fetch $I MAX -r 900 -s "12am Mar 1" -e "12am Mar 27" | egrep
-v "nan|^ *sec$|^$"
done

Now, I know from looking at the graphs in Xymon that most of the TAB*
devices have a "MAX" value, however "rrdtool fetch" says that at every
interval, the value is "not a number".

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

CC
