Extra value in the memory graph

["Bart Gillis " <Bart_Gillis (at) msp.be>]

Hello,

 

I wrote a script that monitors the committed memory usage of a windows
server.

This script uses BBWin 0.8 client to load these values to hobbit.

The script creates a file "memcommit" in the temp file of the BBWin
client. Each 30 min the values ("realmempct") are send to the Hobbit
where an extra column appears on the display server.

I modified the hobbitserver.cfg, 

 

TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,...    ,memcommit=ncv"

 

NCV_memcommit="realmempct:GAUGE"

 

And guess... 

A file memcommit.rrd was created that designed a new graph under the
value of the new test.

So far, all went fine.

 

However, I'm not interested in 3 or 4 separate columns for my extra
memory tests though I'd like to add this extra value in the existing
memory graph.

I have one restriction; my BBWin client does not allow files that
contain a dot. (ex: memory.memcommit. These are not sent to the Hobbit
server).

In other words, is there a way that the Hobbit server can create a
memory.memcommit.rdd file instead of the memcommit.rdd and how can I
avoid that the extra column memcommit is created?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Bart
