<div dir="ltr">Ralph's suggestion looks very interesting, and means you can have it apply to any and all clients without having to make changes to each one.<div><br></div><div>In case you can't get it working for some reason, I think something client-side like the following might work:<div>
<br></div><div>#!/bin/sh</div><div>die() { echo "$@" >&2; exit 1; }<br></div><div>[ "$XYMON" -a "$XYMONSRV" -a "$MACHINE" ] || die "Please run within a Xymon environment"</div>
<div>VALUES=`get_values` # gets 5 numbers<br></div><div>set - ""$SAMPLES</div><div>[ $# -eq 5 ] || die "Value count $# was not 5: $VALUES"</div><div>SLEEP=0</div><div>DELAY=60 # 300/5+1</div><div>for VALUE in $VALUES; do</div>
<div> MSG=`printf "data $MACHINE.trends\n[filename.rrd]\nDS:dsname:$DELAY:U:U $VALUE\n"`</div><div> ( sleep $SLEEP; echo "$MSG" | $XYMON $XYMSRV @ ) &<br></div><div> let SLEEP=$SLEEP+$DELAY</div>
<div>done</div></div><div><br></div><div>This should fire off 5 background tasks, each waiting a multiple of 60 seconds before sending in their value to the RRD collector, thus staggering the updates across the next 5 minutes.</div>

According to the example, I just echo the DS statements, then the dataset name on a line by itself, followed by the data for one dataset on a line by itself, which doesn't seem to do anything in the way of creating any of the multiple rrds I need, nor does it address the time consideration for multple values (I need to insert 5 values a minute apart from 5 mins. before putting them into the rrd - I know this can be done with the rrdtool update command, but can it be done here somehow?) Anybody have an example of a multi-dataset case being run via the extra-scripts option of the xymond_rrd they'd be willing to share?<div>

The --extra-script option allows you to pipe incoming data through a script to process. You could take the report time and subtract 1 min, 2 min, etc, then emit rrd updates as required. The client would still send all 5 values at the same time, but they'd be recorded as if received over the preceding 5 minute block.</p>
