FW: Graph on status page but not on trends

[David Hurst]

Hi all,

I am battling with trying to get a graph to appear on the trends column.

What I have is a custom test appearing in it's own status column - specifically "databases". The data as well as the graph is correct in it's own status column, but don't seem to appear on the trends column with the other graphs. There is probably something obvious that I am missing, but can't get this working correctly.

I have changed the hobbitserver.cfg where
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,.........,nparts,databases"
GRAPHS="la,disk,.........,nparts,databases"

The graph is defined in hobbitgraph.cfg as follows :
[databases]
            FNPATTERN ^database.(.+).rrd
            TITLE Database Transaction Rate
            YAXIS Transactions(R+W)
            DEF:nt at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:numtrans:AVERAGE
            LINE2:nt at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@
            GPRINT:nt at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)
            GPRINT:nt at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
            GPRINT:nt at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
            GPRINT:nt at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

I assume the above to be correct (as well as other configurations that I have changed), because the status column for databases has the data & graph displayed as it should (below)



         DB STC       Reads     Writes



         ADADB021          0          0

         ADADB029          0          0

         ADADB030        200          0

         ADADB031          0          9

         ADADB032      20012          0

         ADADB040       1723         14

         ADADB050      67564       1816

I have changed my bb-hosts file to include :
x.x.x.x              mf                     # TRENDS:*,databases

But that doesn't work - as no graph is displayed for the databases on the trends column.
The only way I can get the graph to appear in the trends column is to change the bb-hosts to something like the following :
x.x.x.x              mf                     # TRENDS:*,cics:cics|databases

The databases graph then appears on the trends column, but this is not quite what I want to do. However, doing it this way then provides a different restriction. If the cics graph only has 4 cics sessions that it is reporting on, and the databases graph has 7 databases that it is reporting on, when the graphs are displayed on the trends column, the cics graph is correct but the databases graph only displays the first 4 databases (below) instead of all 7 databases (above).

Any assistance would be appreciated.
