[hobbit] Graphing BB-Win output

[Everett, Vernon]

Hi all

Resolved this one.
Turned out to be a PEBKAC
If only people would listen when they write their scripts :-)

Note to others.

Although it "appears" to be on a single line, by itself on the output,
<FONT COLOR="Black">sessions=1</FONT>

Is not the same as 
<FONT COLOR="Black">
sessions=1
</FONT>

And that was why graphing didn't work.
(In case you missed that, the first method doesn't work, the second one
does.)

Cheers
    Vernon

Hi Joshua

Thanks, for the help, but nope, that wasn't it.
I restarted hobbit a few times before resorting to the mailing list.
As I mentioned, I have managed to get graphing to work on a similar test
on a Unix client.

Cheers
    Vernon

If you do a "ps -ef | grep hobbitd_rrd" and kill the two processes
running "
hobbitd_channel --channel=data" then wait a couple minutes and you
should be good.  You can also reset hobbit but killing the two processes
for the hobbitd_rrd will do it also.  Need to get the hobbitd_rrd
channels restarted when trying to do ncv.

Hi all

Has anybody encountered any problems graphing BB-Win output?
We have a custom test, which is generating standard output, and
generating a line sessions=<value>


I have added the testname=ncv to hobbitserver.cfg:TEST2RRD= And added
testname to hobbitserver.cfg:GRAPHS=

I have also added NCV_testname="sessions:GAUGE"

I then added the following to the hobbitgraph.cfg file.
[testname]
        TITLE Test Sessions
        YAXIS No. of Sessions
        DEF:u=testname.rrd:sessions:AVERAGE
        LINE2:u#00CC00:Sessions
        COMMENT:\n
        GPRINT:u:LAST:Sessions   \: %5.1lf%s (cur)
        GPRINT:u:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max)
        GPRINT:u:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min)
        GPRINT:u:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n

But no graph appears and no rrd file is generated.

I have created similar graphs of output from my Unix clients, and it all
works, but not for my Windows clients running BB_Win.

Is there a trick to custom graphing output from BB-Win clients?
Has anybody else encountered this? How did you get round it?

Thanks
    Vernon
