Then the answer is simple.<br>This applies to the memory test, which is a Xymon default or built-in test. So it gets special treatment.<br>Change the name of your test, call it mem, or memory2 or anything else not already used, and treat it as a custom test.<br>
You need to add it the GRAPHS= TEST2RRD= and add an NCV_Testname in the hobbitserver.cfg and it should work.<br>Just remember to create a corresponding entry in the hobbitgraph.cfg script, and changes to hobbitserver.cfg need a restart of the server.<br>
It should just work.<br><br>Cheers<br> Vernon<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 6, 2011 at 7:38 PM, Claessens Jurgen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Jurgen.Claessens@cegeka.be">Jurgen.Claessens@cegeka.be</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hmmm. That's interesting.<br><br>So, nothing is getting to the rrd file for the rrd graphing module to read.<br><br>Have you checked that the values are being sent through correctly?<br>By this, I mean, when it exceeds 100%, is your script still sending data correctly?<br>
Do you have some code somewhere in your script that sends non-numeric output at 100 or over?<br>Think in terms of what changes at 100 or above? You have moved from 2 characters to 3.<br>Also, has the input to your script changes in some subtle way at 100%, which will change the output.<br>
Remember, for NCV to work, the output has to be <br>fieldname : value<br>on a line on their own.<br>Any garbage will break it. Check especially for non-printable characters and control codes.<br>Dump your output to a file, and use cat -v<br>
