[Xymon] Trouble starting ext test to rrd, graph

[Scot Kreienkamp]

I create a new file in xymonserver.cfg.d so I can isolate all my configs.  Here’s one of mine that works:


TEST2RRD="$TEST2RRD,E1Evt=ncv"

GRAPHS="$GRAPHS,E1Evt"

SPLITNCV_E1Evt="*:GAUGE"


SPLITNCV puts them in different files so if you add or remove stats later you don’t lose all your history, and you can use wildcards for the type.  Other than that I don’t have any suggestions.

I wrote a script that will pull out a few lines of unbound stats and that submission appears good.  I've got a green column by the host on the Xymon server.  The web page is showing this:

totalnumqueries:51
totalnumqueries_ip_ratelimited:0
totalnumcachehits:22
totalnumcachemiss:29
totalrecursiontimeavg:0075215
numquerytcp:0
numquerytcpout:0
numanswerrcodeSERVFAIL:0
unwantedqueries:0
unwantedreplies:0

The part where I'm stuck at is that it won't generate RRD files.  From the help page it suggests  Ijust add a value to TEST2RRD and NCV_ like I've done here:

TEST2RRD="<allTheDefaultsHere>,unboundstats=ncv"

NCV_unboundstats="totalnumqueries:GAUGE,totalnumqueries_ip_ratelimited:GAUGE,totalnumcachehits:GAUGE,totalnumcachemiss:GAUGE,totalrecursiontimeavg:GAUGE,numquerytcp:GAUGE,numquerytcpout:GAUGE,numanswerrcode.SERVFAIL:GAUGE,unwantedqueries:GAUGE,unwantedreplies:GAUGE"

Something odd I did notice was that the link to the graphs (which have no images, no rrd, etc) will say "No DS called 'inodecache' in 'unboundstats.rrd'".  What is the reference to inodecache?

I have restarted it with xymonlaunch on the server.

Now the data/rrd/ directory doesn't contain a host dir, I'm pretty sure that is something that will be created by Xymon.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
