No graph in Trends but shows up in the column

[Stewart, Tom L.]

Hello,

Did I find a bug? I use the mpstat and zonestat info to create .rrd's
and they all display fine within trends. Hobbit is the latest with
patches and devmon is the latest version also running on a Solaris 10
global.

I asked this question a couple of weeks ago, but had no response. I have
tried to dig for additional answers via Google and Dogpile with little
success so, I'm hoping someone may know the answer or can point me to
the source code to track it down.

I am using devmon to generate some .rrds and columns to track some Cisco
stuff. Within devmon I am generating .rrd files for cpucisco and ifload
(I took out any underbars based on info I read about). The same perl
script is creating all the .rrd files. The cpucisco.rrd graph shows up
in trends and the cpucisco column, but the ifload(.*).rrd graphs only
show up within the ifload column.


Here are some of the background info:

Due to the cut and paste, some lines may look like multiple lines but
are not.

Directory of typical data/rrd directory:

I have modified the original ifload to combine the in and out to a
single line and then made the original to be the ifloaddet graph. I also
tried the original way with the ifloaddet graph as ifload only.


Settings within hobbitserver.cfg

I am not using ncv as the perl script is creating the graph data into
the .rrd files.


Settings with bb-hosts (for security I had to x out the ip address and
change some of the names...)

X.x.x.x     B5-7204-INET    # conn COMMENT:"Cisco 7204" DEVMON
TRENDS:tcp,cp
ucisco,ifload:ifload|ifloaddet
X.x.x.x       INET-7204       # conn COMMENT:"Cisco 7204" DEVMON
TRENDS:ifload:ifload
|ifloaddet
X.x.x.x      INET-6509-1     # conn COMMENT:"Cisco 6509-1" DEVMON
TRENDS:*,ifload  
X.x.x.x     INET-6509-2     # conn COMMENT:"Cisco 6509-2" TRENDS:*
DEVMON

As noted above I have tried many different ways to force ifload and
ifloaddet to show up within the TRENDS column.

Here is an example from the same bb-host file where the mpstat* and
zonestat* stuff works.

X.x.x.x     systemname        # conn COMMENT:"Dev core internet site"
TRENDS:*
,zonestat:zonestatcpu|zonestatmem|zonestatnproc|zonestatsize|zonersssize
,mpstat:
mpstatusr|mpstatsys|mpstatwt|mpstatidl,vmstat:vmstat|vmstat2|vmstat3|vms
tat6|vms
tat7|vmstat8|vmstat0,disk:disk|disk1,la:la|la1

And here is the hobbitlaunch.cfg

hobbitlaunch.cfg:       CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=status
--log=$BBSERVERLOGS/rrd-status.log hobbitd_rrd
--extra-tests=cpucisco,ifload
--extra-script=/export/home/hobbit/server/ext/extra-rrd.pl
--rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd

I did not include the extra-script.pl, but its basically the same as
what others had used.

Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Tom
