[hobbit] temperature test and graphing

[Ryan Novosielski]

>From reading the documentation, it appears as if so long as you get the temperature script from Deadcat (which I've got), and call the test "temperature," graphing happens automagically. All I want to do is change the name of the test but still have this happen. I tried just changing the name in the file that is in server/etc (I forget which right now, but the two places it appears in the file are the GRAPH and TEST2RRD variables). Presently, though, there is not even an RRD file that results from having the "temp" test running. Maybe just adding --extra-tests="temp" might do it on the hobbit_rrd line? Custom graphing is another story, and I am also trying to get that working for the env test of an APC UPS but for the Deadcat script, it's supposed to be built in.

How are you collecting this info?



devmon has quite a few templates that have a 'temp' test, and the example 

entries for hobbitgraph.cfg shipped with it should work for all the devices 

for which temp tests are provided (many cisco routers/switches, HP servers, 

Dell servers, APC UPSs).
