[Xymon] custom graphs problem

[jef.jagers at thomsonreuters.com]

Hi All,

 

After half a day searching for the problem, why my custom graph for my
test isn't showing properly in xymon, I'm reaching out to you guys.

I have googled quite a bit but none of the explanations and/or
suggestions (which I all tried) are working for me.

It is probably something stupid I'm missing or doing wrong but I'm not
able to put my finger on it.

 

Version: Xymon:              4.3.7

Rrd version:                        rrdtool-1.2.12-13.2

 

Problem:

I have a custom scripts, that runs about every 5 min, that gives
following output in xymon: (the open threads line shows as a separate
line in the source html)

The number of open threads can vary from 0-500.

open threads : 41

 

Status unchanged in 4 hours, 35 minutes

Status message received from xx.xxx.xxx.xxx

I added the necessary in xymonserver.cfg and it looks like this:

TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,
<......more.....>,ThreadCount=ncv, <......more.....>,xymond"

 

NCV_ThreadCount="openthreads:GAUGE"

 

GRAPHS="la,disk, <......more.....>,ncv, <......more.....>,ThreadCount"

I added the required to graphs.cfg and it looks like this:

Below is the upper most part of a rrdtool dump of the rrd file that gets
created succefully. (ThreadCount.rrd):

I tried several stuff to change the output of  my script (open_threads,
openthreads), but that changed nothing. (I did restart xymon numerous
times after removing the created rrd files)

Per info: I started with following site:
http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/howtograph.html

 

All suggestions are appreciated.

 

Regards, 

Jef
