[Bigsister-general] graphtemplates.local

Hi all,

I’ld like to collect some values from the system and send them to BS via

bsadmin -d localhost perf 0 server1:traffic.eth0out.0 <value eth0 out>

bsadmin -d localhost perf 0 server1:traffic.eth0out.desc.0 “eth0 out”

bsadmin -d localhost perf 0 server1:traffic.eth0in.0 <value eth0 in>

bsadmin -d localhost perf 0 server1:traffic.eth0in.desc.0 “eth0 in”

….

These values should be graphed (RRD).

Unfortunately, I have no idea about the graphtemplates.local, which is obviously needed by this process. I tried a lot of options, but because of the lack of documentation I was successless.

The last try of of graphtemplates.local looks like:

-------------------------------------------

graph if_traffic

input traffic.(.*).(\d*)

value-identifier $HOST.traffic.$if

value-type gauge

input-limits 0..100000000

input-interval $shortInterval

input-deadtime $shortDeadTime

input-var if traffic.(.*).desc.$GROUP

graph-id $HOST.$GRAPH%

legend $if

maxcombine 8

scale 0..100000000

unit-label Byte

size 400x120

title Incoming traffic on $HOST

I Know it’s wrong L

What is the option ‘value-identifier’ and input-var for? I would like to adapt the legend dynamically and should look like

Eth0out or eth0in, etc. (see the bsadmin lines obove). Is there any documentation about the graph definitions?

Any hint is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Michael
