[Xymon] RRD graph not working for only one test

Tue Jun 12 14:21:49 CEST 2018

If you’re getting data then you don’t need a SPLITNCV.

I had to go back and re-read your email… sounds like Xymon isn’t finding your graph definition:  “Service nginx has a graph nginx, but no graph-definition”

Where did you put it, in what file?

Hi Scott,

Where is the SPLITNCV line? I don't see it in xymonserver.cfg

And, to confirm, I have those two .rrd files in data/rrd/hostname yes. Both I have performed a rrdtool dump to check the format and that.

So you have a files named exactly nginx_connections.rrd and nginx_requests.rrd in the RRD directory for the hosts you want?

Yep, they are in graphs.cfg
I see the following in the error log though... but i can't see it actually looking for a graph titled 'nginx'

Subject: [Xymon] RRD graph not working for only one test

Hi all, weird one... Have been playing about with the following nginx monitor https://github.com/ZeWaren/xymon-nginx and I can't get the graphs to work at all.

The test runs fine (as far as I can tell, i have modified the script to output the data for the graph and that all looks fine), it sends it's data etc and I can see the .rrd files created. However Xymon doesn't want to display them at all. I simply end up with alt text and the magnifying glass. Clicking the magnifying glass results in the "Cannot access RRD directory" error.

I have performed an rrdtool dump on the offending graph and compared it with other .rrd files, doesn't look to be any issue. Permissions are all the same across all the data/rrd/host etc.

Has anyone else had this issue or similar? Any ideas?
I'm running Xymon 4.3.28
Cheers, Rich
