[Xymon] Assistance with Custom NCV graph on 4.3.4

Your graph definition has a DEF and line for "primary" but that is not I
the output from your rrd tool dump.  I see QueueRelease, default, and
googprod in your rrd dump, but no primary.

You could try generating the graph by hand.  Something like this ought
to do it:

 

     cd /path/to/rrd/directory

     rrdtool graph x.png -t "Mail Queue Length" -v "Queue Size"  \

        DEF:primary=PPSmsgq.rrd:primary:GAUGE  \

        DEF:googprod=PPSmsgq.rrd:googprod:GAUGE  \

        LINE2:primary#FF0000   \

        LINE2:googprod#0FF00

 

If you get no error message, try to display x.png.  That'll tell you
that the rrd has good data.

 

If there anything in the xymon logs??

Hello -


 

I recently added a few custom tests to my 4.3.4 installation and
although the tests show up fine, the graphs are totally broken on the
new tests...  (All of the built in tests are working ok..)..  In looking
through the mailing list I was able to find several entries that said
"try this" and "try that" however so far nothing has worked.  (On a
related note, the slab demo on the xymon site is experiencing similar
issues..)

 

Here is the information on the system....

 

Operating System:    Ubuntu 11.04 64b

Xymon Version:        4.3.4

Data is going into the database.....

 

Any suggestions on what I can try next?
