Integrate rrd files into hobbit

[Igor Cicimov]

Hi,

Since I haven't receive any response to the previous e-mail I'm including
some more details here. This is what I have done till now but can't get any
graph output from hobbit:

I have edited the following 3 files:


- *hobbitgraph.cfg* - tell hobbit how to create the graph from the rrd file

[wlpub11]
    TITLE EPUB92: Threads ebspap11
    YAXIS Number
        DEF:execute=etech_thread81cmspServer11_cms.rrd:execute:AVERAGE
LINE1.5:execute#FF0000:execute\\g \
        GPRINT:execute:LAST:\\:%2.0lf \
        COMMENT:min\\:\\g \
        GPRINT:execute:MIN:%2.0lf \
        COMMENT:max\\:\\g \
    GPRINT:execute:MAX:%2.0lf \
        COMMENT:average\\:\\g \
        GPRINT:execute:AVERAGE:%2.0lf\\l \
        DEF:idle=etech_thread81cmspServer11_cms.rrd:idle:AVERAGE
LINE1.5:idle#0000FF:idle\\g \
        GPRINT:idle:LAST:\\:%2.0lf \
        COMMENT:min\\:\\g \
        GPRINT:idle:MIN:%2.0lf \
        COMMENT:max\\:\\g \
        GPRINT:idle:MAX:%2.0lf \
        COMMENT:average\\:\\g \
        GPRINT:idle:AVERAGE:%2.0lf\\l \
        DEF:hogging=etech_thread81cmspServer11_cms.rrd:hogging:AVERAGE
LINE1.5:hogging#3FFF00:hogging\\g \
        GPRINT:hogging:LAST:\\:%2.0lf \
        COMMENT:min\\:\\g \
        GPRINT:hogging:MIN:%2.0lf \
        COMMENT:max\\:\\g \
        GPRINT:hogging:MAX:%2.0lf \
        COMMENT:average\\:\\g \
        GPRINT:hogging:AVERAGE:%2.0lf


- *hobbitserver.cfg* - tell hobbit to include the new graph for processing
=> add the new graph name to the GRAPHS line

GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,files,processes,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,tcp.http,tcp,ncv,netstat,ifstat,mrtg::1,ports,temperature,ntpstat,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,clock,lines,wlpub11"


- *bb-hosts* - add the new graph to the "trends" column for the apropriate
host

#subparent SWIF-Public Weblogic Weblogic servers
group-compress <font size="+1">Weblogic servers</font>
10.156.202.10   Weblogic8.1-ebspap11            # conn HIDEHTTP
ebspap11-mgt.three.com.au:7011 TRENDS:*,wlpub11


So the idea is to get hobbit create the graph and put it under the trends
column for the particular server but it seams it doesn't do anything since I
can't see any graph or error messages in the log file. I have put the
etech_thread81cmspServer11_cms.rrd file into
/var/lib/hobbit/rrd/Weblogic8.1-ebspap11 folder. Just wondering if I'm
missing something or just want to accomplish the impossible?
