[Xymon] Custom Graph not displaying.

I noticed that the name of the data element in the rrd dump:

<name> dentrycache </name>

Is not found in your graph definition:

 DEF:inode=SlabInfo.rrd:inode_cache:AVERAGE
 DEF:dentry=SlabInfo.rrd:dentry_cache:AVERAGE

If the graph can't find the data element, it won't display a data element.

Subject: Re: [Xymon] Custom Graph not displaying.

In your custom script at client side, you are calling the bb
application to send information to the server.
Look for something like this
$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `$DATE` $ERRMESS `$CAT
$BBTMP/$MACHINE.$TEST`"
or
$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR $(cat $BBTEMP/myresults)"
somewhere at the end of your script.

This is how your data gets to the server.
Now somewhere in the file you are sending - which will be different in
your script, there is some HTML code, probably to make the screen
display look funky, and a couple of lines with your values, as you see
them on screen.
However, you need to make sure that the values you want to graph are
on their own line. This is vital.
It will never work otherwise.

Hope that helps.

Regards
     Vernon
