Trying to create a graph

[Tim McCloskey]

Not sure if this will help or just mis-guide you so take with a grain of salt.

Your config looks very similar to one of the graphs I recently added for a NetApp box.  One thing that I did differently is in the use of the names.  Here is an example:

hobbitserver.cfg:NCV_NA2CPU="NA2CPU:GAUGE"
NA2CPU=ncv is also defined in the other two vars in that file.

hobbitgraph.cfg
...
[NA2CPU]
        -W redacted
        TITLE NetApp2 CPU Busy
        YAXIS NA2 CPU
        DEF:NA2CPU=NA2CPU.rrd:NA2CPU:AVERAGE
        COMMENT:5 min delayed \n
        AREA:NA2CPU#00CC00:NA2CPU
        GPRINT:NA2CPU:LAST: \: %5.0lf (cur)
        GPRINT:NA2CPU:MAX: \: %5.0lf (max)
        GPRINT:NA2CPU:MIN: \: %5.0lf (min)
        GPRINT:NA2CPU:AVERAGE: \: %5.0lf (avg)\n
...

Regards, 
Tim

Subject: [hobbit] Trying to create a graph

All assistance is greatly appreciated!


I have a simple number that I want to have graphed in Xymon.
Running 4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.4.

I have a script that is populating the information from our Juniper SSLVPN device(s).
I created a new ICON ‘online’ where there is a lot of information passed for display by clicking the ‘online’ icon.
This is done using ‘bb’ with ‘status’.

One of the values displayed is the number of web users.
I create a file of values for a history but I want to pass the value from each run to the Xymon as ‘data’ to ‘bb’.

The pair from each run is:      USERS:277    with the 277 changing with every 5 minute run.

I placed the script in the /home/xymon/server/ext directory called:   SNMP-Juniper.sh

Per the Xymon Help --> custom graphs document:

I edited the following files:

                /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg

                                # Tom Schmitt script in server/ext directory
[online]
     ENVFILE /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
                                                     CMD /home/xymon/server/ext/SNMP-Juniper.sh
                                                     LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/SNMP-Juniper.sh.log
                                                    INTERVAL 5m

                /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitgraph.cfg
                I only want to see a single line showing the number of USERS at the 5 minute timeframes.

# Tom Schmitt SNMP-Juniper.sh in ext directory
[online]
                                                 TITLE Count of Juniper Users
                                                YAXIS Users
                                                 DEF:in=online.rrd:online:AVERAGE
                                                AREA:in#00CC00:Usage
                                                COMMENT:Licensed for 600 users\n
                                                GPRINT:in:LAST:Cur\: %6.2lf %s
                                                GPRINT:in:MAX: Max\: %6.2lf %s
                                                GPRINT:in:MIN: Min\: %6.1lf %s
                                                GPRINT:in:AVERAGE:Avg\: %6.2lf %s\n
# End of SNMP-Juniper.sh graph

                /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

                At the end of the TEST2RRD=”…..,online=ncv”
                At the end of the GRAPHS=”…..,online”                This was mentioned elsewhere so I tried it.
                Added the following line:
                                NCV_online=”USERS:GAUGE”


I only see a small graph box with “X hobbitgraph ncv:online” in the box under the icons:  online and trends
But no data graphed
If you click on it, you get the hourly, daily, weekly monthly graph as a small box with no data either.

Thanks,
