[Xymon] new apache performance graphs not working

[Steve Holmes]

I discovered that my problem was caused by my boneheaded decision to try removing the '?auto' from the URL, and then forgetting that I had done that. Once I put that back everything started to work.

I’m probably not much more help, but if you haven’t already I’d check the apache logs to see that the request to server-status is coming in, returning a 200, etc, and then compare rrdtool dumps from the working and non-working servers. Good luck.

> I'm really puzzled. I have been asked to add the apache performance graphs to a handfull of servers. I used the suggestion found on the 'tips' page under Help in the Xymon menu. Specifically:
>  
> 1.2.3.4    my.server.com  # conn ssh http://1.2.3.4 apache=http://1.2.3.4/server-status?auto TRENDS:*,apache:apache|apache1|apache2|apache3
>  
> The puzzle is it works for the first one we did as a test. Then I copied the relevant bb-hosts configuration tags (http, apache, TRENDS)  from that host to another two with changes to hostnames. The app admin made the necessary changes to the apache server. The server-status request works from a browser on both of the servers in question (running the browser on the Xymon server). There are apache.rrd files in the data/rrd directory, and the graphs appear on the trends page, but in there is no data being graphed. Nothing but NaN in the values at the bottom of the graph.
