Jef,
 
The variable name in the GPRINT statements must match the variable name
in the DEF statement.
 
Regards,
Chris

	Hi Chris,

	 

	Thank you for you reply.

	Changed it to 

	[ThreadCount]

	        TITLE ThreadsCount Info

	        YAXIS Threads

	        DEF:threadcount=ThreadCount.rrd:openthreads:AVERAGE

	        LINE2:threadcount#0000FF:openthreads

	        COMMENT:\n

	        GPRINT:openthreads:LAST:openthreads %5.1lf%s (cur) \:

	        GPRINT:openthreads:MAX: %5.1lf%s (max) \:

	        GPRINT:openthreads:MIN: %5.1lf%s (min) \:

	        GPRINT:openthreads:AVERAGE: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n

	 

	But still no graphs are shown.

	 

	I based the creation of the graph on the example that is shown
on following site:

	Jef,

	 

	Look at your garaph definition :-

	 

	you have a space in LINE2 > open threads

	 

	and you have defined (DEF) threadcount but are trying to graph
"open".

	 

	HTH,

	Chris

		Hi All,

		 

		After half a day searching for the problem, why my
custom graph for my test isn't showing properly in xymon, I'm reaching
out to you guys.

		I have googled quite a bit but none of the explanations
and/or suggestions (which I all tried) are working for me.

		It is probably something stupid I'm missing or doing
wrong but I'm not able to put my finger on it.

		 

		Version: Xymon:              4.3.7

		Rrd version:                        rrdtool-1.2.12-13.2

		 

		Problem:

		I have a custom scripts, that runs about every 5 min,
that gives following output in xymon: (the open threads line shows as a
separate line in the source html)

		The number of open threads can vary from 0-500.

		_________________________

		Hostname - ThreadCount

		 

		Mon Mar 26 15:48:05 CEST 2012

		 

		open threads : 41

		 

		Status unchanged in 4 hours, 35 minutes

		Status message received from xx.xxx.xxx.xxx

		__________________________

		 

		I added the necessary in xymonserver.cfg and it looks
like this:

		_________________________________

	
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,
<......more.....>,ThreadCount=ncv, <......more.....>,xymond"

		 

		NCV_ThreadCount="openthreads:GAUGE"

		 

		GRAPHS="la,disk, <......more.....>,ncv,
<......more.....>,ThreadCount"

		________________________________

		 

		I added the required to graphs.cfg and it looks like
this:

		_________________________________

		                [ThreadCount]

		                                 TITLE ThreadsCount Info

		                                YAXIS Threads

	
DEF:threadcount=ThreadCount.rrd:openthreads:AVERAGE

	
LINE2:threadcount#0000FF:open threads

		                                COMMENT:\n

		                                GPRINT:open:LAST:open
threads \: %5.1lf%s (cur)

		                                GPRINT:open:MAX: \:
%5.1lf%s (max)

		                                GPRINT:open:MIN: \:
%5.1lf%s (min)

		                                GPRINT:open:AVERAGE: \:
%5.1lf%s (avg)\n

		Below is the upper most part of a rrdtool dump of the
rrd file that gets created succefully. (ThreadCount.rrd):

		                                                </ds>

		.....

		________________

		 

		I tried several stuff to change the output of  my script
(open_threads, openthreads), but that changed nothing. (I did restart
xymon numerous times after removing the created rrd files)

		Per info: I started with following site:
http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/howtograph.html

		 

		All suggestions are appreciated.

		 

		Regards, 

		Jef
