Re: [cricket-users] one host has two target types, please help. (Marc Powell)

[Consultant I. <itc...@gm...>]

hi,

the target is a host name. I need this as a paramter to get data for SNMP
and perl.

if change to mydomain.com-global, it does not make sense.

for SNMP, the Defaults define the rrd file:

Target  --default--
        dataDir                         =
/home/cricket/rrd/%auto-target-path%
        rrd-datafile            = %dataDir%/%auto-target-name%.rrd

for perl source, the Defaults.xml defines another rrd file:

Target  --default--
        dataDir                         =
/home/cricket/rrd/%auto-target-path%
        rrd-datafile            =
%dataDir%/%auto-target-name%_%target-type%.rrd

So I already defined two rrd file names. The issue is everytime it collects
the data, it collect global-xml twice. It
did not collect the global (SNMP data).
Please help me more, thanks,
Frank

Your target names need to be unique. This is what cricket bases the
names of the rrd files on.

target mail01.mydomain.com-global
       target-type     =       global
target mail01.mydomain.com-xml
       target-type     =       global-xml
