RRD<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Dear all,<BR>I'm trying to blacklist some of my ethernet devices
not to be checked by rrd, when xymon tries to get the statistics.<BR>The bad
ethernet devices show the following error:<BR> ...entstat: 0909-004:
unable to get statistics on device entNN...<BR>And everytime they are asked,
they add an errorreport entry (errpt).<BR>And because I'm monitoring the AIX
errpt, I'm always seeing errors at this machine.<BR>Most of my ethernet
devices show their stats, but 2 of them don't like to be asked with
entstat.<BR><BR>Therefore I've written a small entstat-wrapper-shellscript,
which excludes the 2 bad devices from being asked.<BR>But xymon isn't using my
entstat version, but only the /usr/sbin/entstat.<BR>I was debugging with
truss, but I was not able to find out, which part of xymon is calling
/usr/sbin/entstat [xymond_rrd at the server?].<BR><BR>Does the Xymon server
send this "/usr/sbin/entstat -d ent5"?<BR><BR>I've tried to "egrep -R" this
through the sources and was not able to find "/usr/sbin" there.<BR><BR>What
I've also tried: to change the $PATH of my xymon user, to find my own entstat
BEFORE the /usr/sbin version - but this worked only in a shell.<BR><BR>Are
there any chances for me to add somewhere a changed PATH?<BR><BR>Best
regards<BR>D.Altmann<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
