[munin-users] sum values from hosts at different trees...

[Alejandro O. A. <a.o...@ic...>]

Hi people.

Actually I did it, and worked somehow, but since Im also tunning other
aspects, I had to rewrite munin.conf and now I find it doesnt work
anymore:

Can someone explain how to do this?

example:

[domain.a;]
[domain.a;host1]
	host1 stuff
[domain.a;host2]
	host2 stuff

[domain.b;]
[domain.b;host1]
	host1 stuff
[domain.b;host2]
	host2 stuff

[customer-area;]
[customer-area;customer1]
	update no
        contacts no
        virtualplugin.graph_order \
                        something \
                        somethingelse
        virtualplugin.update no
        virtualplugin.graph_args --base 1000
        virtualplugin.graph_args --upper-limit 2900
        virtualplugin.graph_category shoutcast
        virtualplugin.graph_title Ibiza Global Radio
        virtualplugin.graph_vlabel Disponibles
        virtualplugin.something.label some description
        virtualplugin.somethingelse.label some more description
	virtualplugin.something.sum \
		domain.a;host1:realplugin.somevalueA \
		domain.b;host2:realplugin.somevalueA
	virtualplugin.somethingelse.sum \
		domain.a;host1:realplugin.somevalueB \
		domain.b;host2:realplugin.somevalueB


Actually something similar worked... so I gathered data from hosts
around, and made an "customers area" part of the html site, that could
be accesed through apache2 alias/redirect to customers to see their
stats (from a cluster of servers) in a secure, personal, and independant
way...

Now I cant make it work... I miss something or do something very wrong.
The only clue with this is as I run munin-html as munin:
munin@master:/etc/munin$ /usr/share/munin/munin-html --debug
Can't use string ("domain.a:host1") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in
use at /usr/share/perl5/Munin/Master/Utils.pm line 609.

I have to coment the whole section or graphs on the whole master starts
failing!

munin-cron and munin-update work, so it seems to be html building
related problem.
I saw it working, I dont understand why it doesn't  work know.
Maybe I need somehow to loan data from the outer domains hosts into
first... (I tried several node_order combinations with no success).
It is curious that STACK but, mostly works, and I can build stack graphs
loaning data from different hosts on different domains toghether,
although there seems to be random cases where I get the actual graph not
drawed although the link, and even the graph tittle without actual .png
are shown.

Any clues?
Thanks
