[hobbit] CUSTOM RRD DATA VIA SCRIPTS

[Hubbard, Greg L]

Subhash,
 
Check out how data is collected for disk volumes.  I think you want to
create a different data set for each element, and then you can use the
matching items (like is used for the disk graphs) to plot all of the
relevant items in the same set of graphs.

	Hi,
	 
	May be I need to put this more clearly.
	 
	Few custom test are running on the host side on windows systems
which measures print queue length of the print server.
	 
	Hobbit is receiving data in the following format from the host
systems.
	 
	From Server 1 
	 
	3/13/2006 Total queued jobs: 0 
	PRN324:0 
	PRN323:0 
	PRN142:0 
	PRN141:0 
	PRN140:0 
	PRN139:0 
	PRN138:0 
	 
	From server 2
	 
	3/13/2006 Total queued jobs: 0 
	PRN327:0 
	PRN203:0 
	PRN202:0 
	 
	 
	Initially I could thought of the following script to create rrd
file but if I use this script the data existing in all the rrd files of
different host is similar as am using the NAMES PRN327, PRN203, PRN202
to capture the values (different hosts has different names). The length
of the NAMES are also not consistent across the hosts i.e. for server1
7 name:value are sent to hobbit  & for server 2 only 3 name:value
	 
	How can I make the script dynamic ?
	 
	#!/bin/sh
	 
	# Input parameters: Hostname, testname (column), and messagefile
	HOSTNAME="$1"
	TESTNAME="$2"
	FNAME="$3"
	 
	if [ "$TESTNAME" = "printq" ]
	then
	 
	p1=`grep "^PRN327:" $FNAME | awk '{print $2}'`
	p2=`grep "^PRN203:" $FNAME | awk '{print $2}'`
	p3=`grep "^PRN202:" $FNAME | awk '{print $2}'`
	 
	 
	# The RRD dataset definitions
	echo "DS:p1:GAUGE:600:0:U"
	echo "DS:p2:GAUGE:600:0:U"
	echo "DS:p3:GAUGE:600:0:U"
	 
	# The filename
	echo "printq.rrd"
	 
	# The data
	        echo "$p1:$p2:$p3"
	        fi
	       exit 0
	 
	And how can I make the configuration even dynamic in the
hobbitgraph.cfg
	 
	[printq]
	        TITLE Print Queue Status
	        YAXIS Print Queue Length
	        DEF:p1=printq.rrd:PRN327:AVERAGE
	        DEF:p2=printq.rrd:PRN203:AVERAGE
	        DEF:p3=printq.rrd:PRN202:AVERAGE
	        AREA:p1#00FF00:        PRN 327
	        GPRINT:p1:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)
	        GPRINT:p1:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
	        GPRINT:p1:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
	        GPRINT:p1:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n
	        AREA:p2#FF0000:        PRN 230
	        GPRINT:p2:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)
	        GPRINT:p2:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
	        GPRINT:p2:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
	        GPRINT:p2:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n
	        AREA:p3#0000FF:        PRN 202
	        GPRINT:p3:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)
	        GPRINT:p3:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
	        GPRINT:p3:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
	        GPRINT:p3:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n
	
	Please let me know, if more information is required.
	
	 
	Regards 
	Subhash

	Hi, 

	We have few custom tests that measures printq of the print
server (windows). 

	How can I write a script to create a rrd file and generate
graphs. 

	For example 

	P Server 1 
	3/13/2006 Total queued jobs: 0 
	PRN324:0 
	PRN323:0 
	PRN142:0 
	PRN141:0 
	PRN140:0 
	PRN139:0 
	PRN138:0 

	P Server 2 
	3/13/2006 Total queued jobs: 0 
	PRN314:0 
	PRN137:0 
	PRN136:0 

	How to count the number of columns that vary from host to host. 

	The column names are not common for all the hosts. 

	Can any one help me further ? 

	if [ "$TESTNAME"="printq" ]
	then
	
	p1=`grep "^PRN*:" $FNAME | awk '{print $2}'`
	p2=`grep "^PRN*:" $FNAME | awk '{print $2}'`
	p3=`grep "^PRN*:" $FNAME | awk '{print $2}'` 

	# The RRD dataset definitions
	echo "DS:p1:GAUGE:600:0:U"
	echo "DS:p2:GAUGE:600:0:U"
	echo "DS:p3:GAUGE:600:0:U" 
	# The filename 
	echo "printq.rrd" 
	# The data
	echo "$p1:$p2:$p3"
	
	 Regards,
