[xymon] Possible to sum rrd into one graph ?

[SEGLARD, Thomas]

Even better ! I never saw this before. Ok, I will try this and will keep you in touch in case its working as it should be J

Sincerly,

If you're using DEFs like this:

 

      [la]

           TITLE CPU Load

           YAXIS Load

           DEF:avg=la.rrd:la:AVERAGE

           CDEF:la=avg,100,/

 

you can definitely use a pathname for the RRD.  I do exactly that with some performance graphs where I can't use xymon:

 

     DEF:server1avg=/var/lib/perfmon/server1/loadavg.rrd

     DEF:server2avg=/var/lib/perfmon/server2/loadavg.rrd

 

I don't know if the same is true of the FNPATTERN style of setting DEFs.

 

Of course, if your RRD are on different physical machines, that's a bit harder...  :)

Hello,

 

yes, you're right. 

 

But, my mistake, this is only part of answer and I don't exactly write what I wanted to know. What I want is a way to sum the RRDs from different servers and corresponding to the graph definition « ifstat ». The main problem is that the RRDs are not in the same place/directory and thus I have no way to tell rrdtool where to get these RRDs. This is the main problem and why I required some help J 

 

I could do some scrtipt which sync on a regular basis these RRDs into one server directory. It's not very elegant (but I think this will work !). In a future release, maybe it will be possible to use the Metrics reports to do all the maths we want with different RRDs ? ;) 

 

Nobody uses Xymon to graph the sum of network bandwidth from different sources (firewall, lb, media servers, web servers, etc...) into one graph ??

Take a look at the man page for rrdgraph_data.  That describes how to use CDEF:

 

     CDEF

         CDEF:vname=RPN expression

 

         This command creates a new set of data points (in memory only, not in

         the RRD file) out of one or more other data series.

 

After using DEF to define the variables being pulled from the various RRDs, you should be able to combine them with a math expression.  You would then use the CDEF vname in the graph LINE, AREA, etc.

Hi Josh,

 

First, thank you for this link. Second, I'm sorry but I don't understand very well your example. I don't want to graph multiple RRD sources, I want to graph the sum of multiple RRD sources J Do you think Xymon could make it ?

 

Thanks for help.

	Hello,

	 

	In Munin, its possible to sum several rrd into one graph (ie : to display the total bandwidth used by all your media servers). Thus, I'm asking if it's possible to do this in XYmon too ? I saw the « Metrics reports » but you can't sum graphs...
