I would have perhaps asked in the
Devmon mailing list but my
question is quite pertinent to
Xymon too and this mailing list is
a little more active with many
using Devmon.<br>
<br>
</div>
I have a check, it's called temp.<br>
<br>
</div>
I have a Devmon template for an IBM
UPS device and I have a template for
an IBM PDU device. Both have a temp
check for reading temperature and
humidity.<br>
<br>
</div>
The IBM UPS template has existed for a
while and has been displaying temp
graphs. I have temp=ncv, temp in GRAPHS
and an entry in graphs.cfg and
xymonserver.cfg.<br>
<br>
</div>
What happens when you introduce a temp
check to a new device that has a different
template? Do you have to create an extra
line in graphs.cfg/Xymonserver.cfg? Is it
the same name?<br>
<br>
</div>
ie do I have to use <br>
<br>
</div>
NCV_temp=temperature:GAUGE (temperature being
what is parsed from message file of template)<br>
</div>
for template 1 (IBM UPS)<br>
<br>
</div>
and <br>
<br>
</div>
NCV_temp=pdutemperature:GAUGE (pdutemperature being
what is parsed from message file of template)</div>
for template 2 (IBM PDU)<br>
<br>
</div>
OR<br>
<br>
</div>
Do I have to use a different check/column name for each
use of temperature per device? I might use Devmon for
temperature/Humidity readings on a UPS device, or a PDU,
or a server, or a network device and the templates I use
in Devmon will be completely different. In which case I
would have to use temppdu for example in
xymonserver.cfg/Graphs.cfg alongside the existing temp<br>
<br>

As fas as I know, you can only associate one graph template with one
test (column), the template having the same name as the test. It is
thus not possible to associate one template out of a set with a
given instance of a test (in other words with a given
{test,host}-pair). However, you can minimise the number of columns
(in for instance 'all non-green' while it is very hot) by having the
various tests to deliver the same NCV-data.<br>
<br>
I recognise your problem, wanting to show the temperature for
various network switches, some having only one temperature sensor,
and some having thirty sensors. This is solved by sending always 3
numbers, the minimum, the average and the maximum value of all
sensor values. For this purpose I have extended Devmon with a new
transformation, called STATISTIC. (See patch #20 at
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/p/devmon/patches/?source=navbar" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/p/devmon/patches/?source=navbar</a>).<br>
