Custom RRD graphs

[Dan Vande More]

Hello All,

I've read every post on the list, but still cannot figure out why I
can't get rrds to appear.

I've written a custom script that does something like:

/home/monitor/bb/bin/bb 1.2.3.4 "status iron1-mgmt.Memoryutil green
Memoryutil : 11"

On 1.2.3.4 (server), my hobbitserver.cfg has this:

TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,Memoryutil=ncv"

The reason the test is memoryutil is because it's memory utilization
gotta via snmp for an ironport device.

My interpretation of the hobbitd_rrd.8 page, and this post:
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2005/06/msg00261.html
gives me reason to believe that I don't have to do anything but have a
script pass bb a "$test (=|:) value" value, and tell TEST2RRD
"$test=ncv", and I'd be graphing in no time. However, my
~hobbit/rrd/$hostname/ still doesn't have a $test.rrd.

Am I missing something? Doing something wrong? Assuming some things I
shouldn't be? Anyone have the ncv stuff working?

Thanks

Dan
