[Xymon] Multiple graphs for one test

[Galen Johnson]

Add a line in xymonserver.cfg named GRAPHS_testname="graph1, graph2, ..."

TL;DR

I believe you just need to add a "GRAPHS" line that describes which graphs you want to show (you should already have them defined in your graphs.cfg file.  I actually use the terabithia rpms which leverages the include files under the .d folders.  This is not special for that build but saves me having to remember to set it up.  For example, I have a test named ssdbbasic...I have a file graphs.d/ssdbbasic.cfg that contains my graph definitions and a file xymonserver.cfg.d/ssdbbasic with the following :

GRAPHS_ssdbbasic="ssdbbasic,ssdbbasic1"

TEST2RRD+=",ssdbbasic=ncv"

SPLITNCV_ssdbbasic="*:GAUGE"

You can even split out your rrd definitions if you need (to make them manageable)

Subject: [Xymon] Multiple graphs for one test

I have a custom test (mytest) that returns multiple pieces of information. The information is showing up on Xymon as expected. I'd like to be able to graph each piece of information separately, but on the same page. Is that possible?

For a simplified example, mytest returns these two pieces of information:

threads
connections

I'm using SPLITNCV to store the results in separate rrd files. That's working.

I'm currently graphing the threads data. I want to graph the connections information on the same mytest page, but in a separate graph.

In other words, I want to have multiple graphs using different rrd data files appear on the same Xymon test page.

Is this possible? Does anyone have a quick sample from graphs.cfg and xymonserver.cfg that can point me in the right direction?

Again, this is a simplified example. The actual test is returning 27 different pieces of information. Some of those are related to each other, some are related to other things. They're all related to the same application, which is why I'd like them to all appear on the same page. Each graph will likely have 2-4 different lines.

Thanks.
