Wed Mar 28 11:25:03 CEST 2012

Jef,

The variable name in the GPRINT statements must match the variable name
in the DEF statement.

Regards,
Chris

	Hi Chris,

	Thank you for you reply.

	Changed it to 

	[ThreadCount]

	        TITLE ThreadsCount Info

	        YAXIS Threads

	        DEF:threadcount=ThreadCount.rrd:openthreads:AVERAGE

	        LINE2:threadcount#0000FF:openthreads

	        COMMENT:\n

	        GPRINT:openthreads:LAST:openthreads %5.1lf%s (cur) \:

	        GPRINT:openthreads:MAX: %5.1lf%s (max) \:

	        GPRINT:openthreads:MIN: %5.1lf%s (min) \:

	        GPRINT:openthreads:AVERAGE: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n

	But still no graphs are shown.

	I based the creation of the graph on the example that is shown
on following site:

	Jef,

	Look at your garaph definition :-

	you have a space in LINE2 > open threads

	and you have defined (DEF) threadcount but are trying to graph
"open".

	HTH,

	Chris

		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.

		_________________________

		Hostname - ThreadCount

		Mon Mar 26 15:48:05 CEST 2012

		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:

		_________________________________

		                [ThreadCount]

		                                 TITLE ThreadsCount Info

		                                YAXIS Threads

DEF:threadcount=ThreadCount.rrd:openthreads:AVERAGE

LINE2:threadcount#0000FF:open threads

		                                COMMENT:\n

		                                GPRINT:open:LAST:open

		                                GPRINT:open:MAX: \:
%5.1lf%s (max)

		                                GPRINT:open:MIN: \:
%5.1lf%s (min)

		                                GPRINT:open:AVERAGE: \:
%5.1lf%s (avg)\n

		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
