Are your sure you want to go down this path, simply to satisfy your sense of aesthetics?<br>You will effectively be running a subtly, but significantly, non-standard build, which could lead to tears in the future, either for yourself, or those that come after you.<br>
If you, in a year or two, forget this change, and do an upgrade to the latest version, ALL your temperature stuff will break.<br>Likewise, I predict a world of pain for your successor, should you ever leave this position, and they ask for help on the list, or try and upgrade.<br>
>From their perception, the Xymon upgrade will have broken the test, and Xymon will be seen as a peice of rubbish, and because the change that caused all the pain will be long forgotten, there will be no constructive help available on the list.<br>
<br>At the end of the day, this is the joy of open source. You have the code, and can modify it to your heart's content.<br>It is your installation, and your right to do with it as you please.<br>That being said, please think carefully before you do this.<br>
In the long run, it might not be such a good idea.<br><br>Regards<br> Vernon<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 12:17 AM, Ryan Novosielski <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:novosirj@umdnj.edu">novosirj@umdnj.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>OK, I got further with this. As it turns out, this IS hard coded in the<br>
source code. First place is xymon-4.2.3/hobbitd/do_rrd.c as extracted<br>
from the source:<br>
<br>
- ---<br>
# diff do_rrd.c.orig do_rrd.c<br>
389c389<br>
< else if (strcmp(id, "temperature") == 0) res =<br>
do_temperature_rrd(hostname, testname, msg, tstamp);<br>
- ---<br>
> else if (strcmp(id, "temp") == 0) res =<br>
do_temperature_rrd(hostname, testname, msg, tstamp);<br>
- ---<br>
<br>
...but there's also an included file, ./rrd/do_temperature.c:<br>
<br>
- ---<br>
# diff do_temperature.c.orig do_temperature.c<br>
16c16<br>
<<br>
"DS:temperature:GAUGE:600:1:U",<br>
- ---<br>
> "DS:temp:GAUGE:600:1:U",<br>

< savech = *(p+1); *(p+1) = '\0';<br>
setupfn("temperature.%s.rrd", bol); *(p+1) = savech;<br>
- ---<br>
> savech = *(p+1); *(p+1) = '\0';<br>
setupfn("temp.%s.rrd", bol); *(p+1) = savech;<br>
- ---<br>
<br>
...I don't have graphs yet, but I think it might be the averages taking<br>
awhile. I guess we'll see. I do have RRD files now; anyone have any idea<br>
what to do if there are ultimately no graphs even with RRD files?<br>
