[Bigsister-general] statusfile, RRD and graphs.

["Gilad Kedem" <suppressed>]

Hi Tom(or anyone else:),

Can you possibly shed some light on the statusfile/graphs question? (I need graphs made from information I store in a statusfile).

Thanks,
Gilad.

Hi,
 
We have set up BigSister such that it will get information concerning the different machines it monitors through a statusfile.
 
So we've got a line like:
 
localhost file=adm/statusfile statusfile
 
in uxmon-net and we've got a script run by crond which creates adm/statusfile periodically.
 
This file has lines that look this:
 
status myhostname.ping green ping heard 15
status anotherhostname.load green CPU load is 3
.
.
.
et cetera.
 
With this setup, we get green or red lights for each machine/test depending on what the
script puts into adm/statusfile.
 
My questions are these:
How do I get this data to be kept in the RRD and get graphs made out of it? Do I need to add more information to each line in the statusfile? Do I need to ask my script to do this seperately?
 

Thank you very much!:)
 
Gilad.
