<div>Hi all</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is there any way to define a graph definition for values that may or may not be available.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Let's work with CPU temperature, just as an example.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In hobbitserver.cfg, I can define this</div>
<div>NCV_systemp="*:GAUGE"</div>
<div>(And the other ncv definitions)</div>
<div>It then generates rrd files for all the servers. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>However, some systems have 1 cpu, some have 2, and some 4.</div>
<div>So the rrd files only have entries for the number of CPUs.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the hobbitgraph.cfg we can define the graph, with 4 cpu temperatures, but if the rrd file doesn't contain 4 fields (i.e. system has only 2 CPUs), it doesn't generate a graph.</div>
<div>It is also not possible to have a separate graph definition for 1, 2 and 4 CPU systems.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The other way round it, is to have each CPU in a separate file, and define FNPATTERN= with a wildcard.</div>
<div>But how do we get the ncv module to put each field in a sepreate rrd file?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards</div>
<div> Vernon</div>
