[Bigsister-general] how to display status from a custom test on my big sister server?

Hi, I’m new to big sister, so please bear with me. We’ve a working 0.99b1 set up on a linux box. I need to monitor our mysql sever’s table usages remotely, so I take the current mysql test as a sample and created my custom test, named “mysql_qft”, to report tables’ usages for specified databases. I can see that from uxmon that the test is been executed and message is reported to bs server, as this output from uxmon:

(uxmon is running on big sister server, with this entry in uxmon config file which interrogates mysql server “homer”:

“homer password=XXXX user=YYYY warn=50 fail=60 dblist=perfCap mysql_qft”

)

sleeping for 60

next pass ...

uxmon: next pass ...

to collector: homer.mysql_qft: 0:

&red

Table's usage > 60%: perfCap.fmdm_stats (67.37) perfCap.infotrap (66.63)

Table's usage > 50%: perfCap.logger (50.17)

&html<hr /><strong>MySQL Table Usage</strong>

Table's usage > 60%: perfCap.fmdm_stats (67.37) perfCap.infotrap (66.63)

Table's usage > 50%: perfCap.logger (50.17)

sleeping for 60

next pass ...

From one of the var/status.log* file I can see bs server is logging perf data from the new test as:

“1146170729 10.4.3.201: perf 1146170429 homer:mysql_qft.status.1.0 0”

However, I don’t see the message/status/html page gets generated or stored anywhere on big sister. I’ve browsed through “Developer’s Manual I – Sensors” and the online document (http://www.joerg.cc/html/bigsis/index.html) and still have no clue.

How does one debug/verify big sister (is that bsmon?) does getting the data sent by collector or not? Am I missing something, say from ch 3 “Server Configuration”?

Thanks for any hints.
