<div dir="ltr"><div>Asif</div><div><br></div><div>It might be an either/or, situation otherwise you get the situation you've described, where both status_rrd and data_rrd channels try to update the RRD file.<br></div><div>
<br></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">You might find that adjusting the TEST2RRD variable to include only "columname" and not "columnname=ncv" might do the trick. The man page for xymond_rrd talks about the "ncv" part only being used for status messages. But this is a long-shot.</span><br>
</div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div>You can include the NCV in your status message, perhaps hidden inside a comment like this:<div><br></div><div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<div>$XYMON $XYMSRV "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date`</div><div><br></div><div> ${MSG}</div><div><!--</div></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"> foo: 1</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">

<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">But you'd also need to reformat your MSG to not contain anything that looks like NCV. It might be sufficient to remove all the colons and equals signs, for example.</div>
