<br>
I've spent a good deal of time today perusing the archives and man pages hoping
to glean the answers to my problem of creating a custom rrd data (not status)
graph. The process should be similar but darn near everything I've seen
deals with status graphs. <br>
<br>
Here's the contents of my ext script on the client:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<div style='margin-left:30.0pt'>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>(stuff to put a value
into /tmp/pcpu.txt)<br>
$BB $BBDISP "data $MACHINE.pcpu<br>
`cat /tmp/pcpu.txt`"<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'><br>
The contents of /tmp/pcpu.txt: <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<div style='margin-left:30.0pt'>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>pcpu_idle : 97.16<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'><br>
On the server side of things I've modified the hobbitserver.cfg files' TEST2RRD
and GRAPHS lines to append "pcpu_idle=ncv". <br>
I also have this line in the same file:
NCV_pcpu_idle="pcpu_idle:GAUGE"<br>
<br>
hobbitgraph.cfg also includes this definition:<br>
[pcpu]<br>
TITLE ESX CPU Utilitization<br>
YAXIS % Used<br>
-u 100 <br>
-r<br>
DEF:cpu_idl=pcpu.rrd:cpu_idl:AVERAGE<br>
CDEF:pbusy=100,cpu_idl,-<br>
LINE2:pbusy#00CC00:% CPU busy<br>
GPRINT:pbusy:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)<br>
GPRINT:pbusy:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) <br>
GPRINT:pbusy:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)<br>
GPRINT:pbusy:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf
(avg)\n<br>
<br>
I don't have a pcpu.rrd file in the rrd/host directory which I would expect to
see. I don't see any error messages in the client logs about not being
able to communicate. Am I missing something obvious? Any help would
be appreciated, thanks. <br>
