[Xymon] custom graphs problem

[Chris.Morris at rwe.com]

Jef,
 
Look at your garaph definition :-
 
you have a space in LINE2 > open threads
 
and you have defined (DEF) threadcount but are trying to graph "open".
 
HTH,
Chris

	Hi All,

	 

	After half a day searching for the problem, why my custom graph
for my test isn't showing properly in xymon, I'm reaching out to you
guys.

	I have googled quite a bit but none of the explanations and/or
suggestions (which I all tried) are working for me.

	It is probably something stupid I'm missing or doing wrong but
I'm not able to put my finger on it.

	 

	Version: Xymon:              4.3.7

	Rrd version:                        rrdtool-1.2.12-13.2

	 

	Problem:

	I have a custom scripts, that runs about every 5 min, that gives
following output in xymon: (the open threads line shows as a separate
line in the source html)

	The number of open threads can vary from 0-500.

	open threads : 41

	 

	Status unchanged in 4 hours, 35 minutes

	Status message received from xx.xxx.xxx.xxx

	__________________________

	 

	I added the necessary in xymonserver.cfg and it looks like this:

	_________________________________

	
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,
<......more.....>,ThreadCount=ncv, <......more.....>,xymond"

	 

	NCV_ThreadCount="openthreads:GAUGE"

	 

	GRAPHS="la,disk, <......more.....>,ncv,
<......more.....>,ThreadCount"

	________________________________

	 

	I added the required to graphs.cfg and it looks like this:

	_________________________________

	                [ThreadCount]

	                                 TITLE ThreadsCount Info

	                                LINE2:threadcount#0000FF:open

	Below is the upper most part of a rrdtool dump of the rrd file
that gets created succefully. (ThreadCount.rrd):

	________________

	 

	I tried several stuff to change the output of  my script
(open_threads, openthreads), but that changed nothing. (I did restart
xymon numerous times after removing the created rrd files)

	Per info: I started with following site:
http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/howtograph.html

	 

	All suggestions are appreciated.

	 

	Regards, 

	Jef
