Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your terminology, but I would have thought you'd need a "cfbytes" column to be able to click on the coloured dot that takes you to the "cfbytes" status page? The fact that you have an NCV_cfbytes definition suggests that you *are* creating a status message, and thus I would expect you to see a status page for cfbytes, with the contents of the status message. But you're saying there's nothing on the status page for the "cfbytes" column, and also that there's no "cfbytes" column.</div><div><br></div><div>Are you following the instructions in the custom graphs howto?</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://xymon.sourceforge.io/xymon/help/howtograph.html" target="_blank">https://xymon.sourceforge.io/xymon/help/howtograph.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>If you are indeed getting a column and a status page, just with no graph on it, then either the TEST2RRD value is not doing its job making svcstatus.cgi not try to display the graph, or the graph image is broken. I have to admit, I don't recall seeing the use of "+=" in xymonserver.cfg before, and I can't find it in any of the man pages, but the code definitely seems to support it, so I think that's fine.</div><div><br></div><div>What you might want to do is to see if the graph works at all. Go to another page with a graph for the same host, such as CPU, and click on the graph, then modify the URL and change the "service=la" (or whatever) into "service=cfbytes" and see if the graphs show. If you see graphs, then there's something weird with svcstatus.cgi.</div><div><br></div><div>On the other hand, if you have a bunch of broken graphs, then rrdgraph is complaining about something. Typically you don't see rrdgraph problems in any logs, but you can view error logs by running rrdgraph from a shell, something like this:</div><div><br></div><div> $ cd /var/lib/xymon/rrd/<hostname>/</div><div> $ rrdtool graph /dev/null --title "Cloudflare traffic" --vertical-label "Bytes" "DEF:cfbytes=cfbytes.rrd:cfbytes:AVERAGE" "AREA:cfbytes#00CCCC:time" "COMMENT:\n" "GPRINT:cfbytes:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)" "GPRINT:cfbytes:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)" "GPRINT:cfbytes:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)" "GPRINT:cfbytes:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n"</div><div><br></div><div>If rrdtool parses your graph definition on the command-line, it will return an image size, such as "497x193". If it finds problems in what it sees, it'll return an error message, hopefully indicating what it didn't like.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>Jeremy</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, 17 Jul 2022 at 00:35, Matthew Goebel <<a href="mailto:mgoebel@emich.edu" target="_blank">mgoebel@emich.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace"><br clear="all"></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace">Hello,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace"> Running Xymon 4.3.29 on Redhat ES 8.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace"> I've got custom data creating rrd files, so that part is working.
