[Xymon] rrd graphs in Xymon

[Neil Simmonds]

Hi all,

 

I've got an unusual issue at the moment with Graphs.

 

I've written a script to collect Average Disk Queue Length from Windows
servers and am looking to add a graph.

 

I've configured the data as NCV in Xymonserver.cfg and I've created the
graph definitions. Unfortunately because I have different number of
disks on each server it's not working unless the server has exactly the
number of disks that I have set up in the graph definition.

 

At the moment the only 2 ways I can think of to get around this is to
either have a different column name for each server (which would be very
messy) or to change my script so that it will output lines for 10 disks
even if it only has 1, so for example I would have this,

 

Disk0 : 1

Disk1 : 

Disk2 : 

Disk3 : 

Disk4 : 

Disk5 : 

Disk6 : 

Disk7 :

Disk8 :

Disk9 :

 

Not as messy as the different columns but still a bit untidy. 

 

Does anyone know a way to define a graph so that it will still work even
if it doesn't find data in the rrd file for one or more of the DEF
statements in the graph definition?

 

Regards,
