[Xymon] Graphing in Xymon

Well, this didn’t work.

I’ve removed the file from the /etc/xymon/graph.d directory, and added it directly into graphs.cfg.    No help.

I removed the comment and GPRINT lines, as they are superfluous at this time. Still nothing.

Is there a way to manually create a gif/jpg/whatever with rrdtool to test that the data will create a graph?


What I have now:
[ConfigPulls]
        TITLE NCM Config Pulls
        YAXIS Number of Devices
        DEF:NetAtoD=ConfigPulls.rrd:NetAtoD:AVERAGE
        DEF:NetEtoN=ConfigPulls.rrd:NetEtoN:AVERAGE
        DEF:NetOtoZ=ConfigPulls.rrd:NetOtoZ:AVERAGE
        DEF:Other=ConfigPulls.rrd:Other:AVERAGE
        DEF:InfraGen=ConfigPulls.rrd:InfraGen:AVERAGE
        DEF:InfraSec=ConfigPulls.rrd:InfraSec:AVERAGE



As I read the how to, the DEF is
DEF:<label you want>=<rrdfile>:<data label in the rrd file:AVERAGE

So those should be right.

I think maybe your names don't match??

     <ds>
                <name> NetAtoD </name>

not equal to:

        DEF:NetAtoD=ConfigPulls.rrd:AtoD:AVERAGE
        .....
        LINE2:AtoD#00FF00:Net A to D
        .....
        GPRINT:AtoD:LAST:Net A to D \: %5.1lf (cur)


I think it should be:

       DEF:NetAtoD=ConfigPulls.rrd:NetAtoD:AVERAGE
       ....
        LINE2:NetAtoD#00FF00:Net A to D
        ....
        GPRINT:NetAtoD:LAST:Net A to D \: %5.1lf (cur)

and similarly for the other DEF, LINE2 and GPRINT.  It's been a long time since I messed with graphs too, so I could be completely wrong.

I’ve got a new test that I need to graph. It is a simple count of devices in multiple “networks”.  This test only runs once a day.   I haven’t done a graph in xymon in several years, and it’s always a struggle.

This is the input data:

Net_AtoD: 5871
Net_EtoN: 5589
Net_OtoZ_1to9: 5242
Other: 386
InfraGen: 12
InfraSec: 25


The data comes in fine. And I get a good rrd file (all 6 networks are in there and look the same as this, except obviously the last_ds and value values:
      <ds>
                <name> NetAtoD </name>
                <type> GAUGE </type>
                <minimal_heartbeat> 600 </minimal_heartbeat>
                <min> NaN </min>
                <max> NaN </max>

                <!-- PDP Status -->
                <last_ds> 5871 </last_ds>
                <value> 5.8710000000e+04 </value>
                <unknown_sec> 267 </unknown_sec>
        </ds>


I have multiple xymon servers, and I share most of the config with an include line in xymonserver.cfg:

/etc/xymon/xymonserver-common.cfg:TEST2RRD+=",proc-mem-cfgmgrd=ncv,ucf=ncv,ConfigPulls=ncv"
/etc/xymon/xymonserver-common.cfg:GRAPHS+=",vmwarevms,hpnasnaphost,ucf,ConfigPulls"
/etc/xymon/xymonserver-common.cfg:NCV_ConfigPulls="*:GAUGE"

I’ve restarted a few times.

I put the graph config in its own file /etc/xymon/graph.d/ConfigPulls.cfg

The graph doesn’t show up, just a broken link in both the test and trends pages.


Any help?

Thanks,
Paul.
