Well, I tried replacing all instances of pcpu_idle with pcpuIdle, restarted server and client but still no rrd's. Is there some way I can check to see that the data is actually reaching the server? I'm getting data and graphs for load average, disk, memory utilization, etc. The stuff that usually shows up in trends, so I know the client can reach the host.

There was a suggestion to put spaces between the DS and VALUE, which also had
mixed results.</span></font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi all,<br>
<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:</span></font></p>
<div style="margin-left: 30pt;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">(stuff to put a value
into /tmp/pcpu.txt)<br>
$BB $BBDISP "data $MACHINE.pcpu<br>
`cat /tmp/pcpu.txt`"</span></font></p>
</div>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
The contents of /tmp/pcpu.txt: </span></font></p>
<div style="margin-left: 30pt;">
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">pcpu_idle : 97.16</span></font></p>
</div>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><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>
