[hobbit] Custom Graph Problem

[Jeffcoat, Al]

I'll give that a shot.  I had spaces in the output originally, and it
wasn't working, so I took them out, and the other three graphs started
working.  One didn't work, and the DS name was missing an underscore,
but it was a GAUGE type rrd, all I needed to do to fix it was to remove
the underscore from the hobbitgraph.cfg file.

You gave us the first part of rrd dump, but you should also check to see
whether rrd has any data in it. Is the graph's png showing up, but
showing NaN? Is the graph not showing up at all?

It sounds silly, but try putting spaces in your output so it looks like
this: 

order_gen : 19



It seems like I've had that issue before too. I have about 25 extra
tests I'm doing, and I use spaces in all of them.

Hello All,

 

I'm trying to create a custom script/graph that graphs some data from a
mssql server.  I've got the service (order_gen) and page showing up in
hobbit, with the following output:

 


Sun Nov 5 22:18:50 EST 2006

 
 
 
There are currently 19 requests in the ORDER GENERATION queue
 
 
order_gen:19
 
 

 

Status unchanged in 9 hours, 17 minutes
Status message received from 172.31.22.50

 

hobbit graph ncv:order_gen
<http://hobbit/hobbit-cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=srv607sql&service=ncv:orde
r_gen&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&disp=srv607sql&nostale&color=gree
n&action=menu> 

 

Zoom graph
<http://hobbit/hobbit-cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=srv607sql&service=ncv:orde
r_gen&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&disp=srv607sql&nostale&color=gree
n&graph=hourly&action=selzoom> 

 

 

I've defined the following in hobbitserver.cfg:

 

TEST2RRD="......,order_gen=ncv"

.

.

.

NCV_order_gen="order_gen:GAUGE"

.

.

GRAPHS="......,order_gen"

 

It's creating an RRD under the hostname called order_gen.rrd.  While
trying to figure out why there is no graph coming up for this, I ran
"rrdtool dump order_gen.rrd".  Here's what's coming out:

 

        <ds>

                <name> ordergen </name>

                <type> DERIVE </type>

 

I've search high and low on the hobbit archives looking for a similar
situation, and can't find it, even though I thought I had seen it while
originally working on these scripts on Friday.  Can someone help me with
the next steps on this?  I'm not sure where to look next.  This is my
first custom graph, and it was a fun adventure in diving into how some
things work in hobbit.  After some trial and error, I've got 4 graphs
working that are doing the same thing, which is trending different
information from our main clinical app into hobbit for management
perusal.  This is the only one that's "out of order".

 

TIA,

 

Al
