<div dir="ltr">Is there anything in the xymon rrd log? Have you set up the NCV pieces in the configs? For example, I have a test that looks at the thread count for an internal service...I have a file under /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg.d named after the test (probably not required but helps keep the associations clear)...I have the following in the file:<div><br></div><div><div>GRAPHS_threads="threads"</div><div><br></div><div>TEST2RRD+=",threads=ncv"</div><div><br></div><div>SPLITNCV_threads="*:NONE,total:GAUGE,consumed:GAUGE"</div></div><div><br><div>I prefer splitncv to make xymon split the rrd data into multiple individual files.

It's not clear from the snippet you provided that your message contains this or if it's being sent across a different channel (I'm guessing not). Basically, Xymon may not even know it has data to collect since it's not being put in a format it expects. IIRC, it should parse either "var: value" and "var=value".</div><div><br></div><div>=G=</div></div><div><br></div><div>note: there is also a graph definition in /etcxymon/graphs.d</div><div>PPS: I'm using the terabithia rpms as well</div><div>PPPS: getting the user defined graphs working the way you want can be tricky...I almost always have to go rooting through the archives.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 18, 2017 at 1:32 PM, Scott Driemeier-Showers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sshowers@negwer.com" target="_blank">sshowers@negwer.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="m_-200166881240458918WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Having just upgraded from Xymon 4.2.3 on CentOS 5.11, our environment is now Xymon 4.3.28-1.el7.terabithia on CentOS 7.4.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">We have a group of systems defined that monitors (via conn/ping) the internal interface of the primary router at each of our remote offices to tell us whether or not the connection is up.
