[Devmon] Devmon not populating rrd file correctly

[Josh L. <jo...@im...>]

I am trying to set up graphs for an APC 9619 (I am using the template from
the SF files directory).  The dm column appears on the bbdisp host.  I am
getting the power message on this host on Xymon and I can see the graph
reference, but the image is blank/broken.

I only have docs/GRAPHING to go by and I followed this by:

* --extra-script /usr/share/devmon/extras/devmon-rrd.pl to both rrdstatus
and rrddata in tasks.cfg
* power=devmon to the end of TEST2RRD in xymonserver.cfg
* I'm at a complete loss in what would be accurate in Xymon's graphs.cfg,
but I took an example from extras/devmon-graph.cfg and changed a few
things.  I was hoping to look at the RRD file for examples to help me
complete this

[power]
        FNPATTERN power.(.*).rrd
        TITLE Power
        YAXIS Volts
        DEF:in@RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:ds0:AVERAGE

        GPRINT:outbytes@RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: %8.2lf %s (avg)\n
        -l 0


I am looking at the RRD file and the values (min, max, value, etc) are all
NaN or 0.0000000000e+00

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you for this much needed addition to Xymon!

No version of this template has had RRD support for the power test (yet). If 
you have a temperature sensor, the 'temp' test should though.

This should not be necessary in 4.2.3 or later.

The devmon collector is intended for devmon's TABLE:rrd operator in message 
files, however the power test doesn't operate on any repeater OIDs. The ncv 
module may be more appropriate, but it may choke on some of the non-numeric 
values that follow colons in the message file ...

Please supply the output of:
bb localhost 'hobbitdlog ups.power'

or equivalent, where 'ups' is the host name of your APC 9619 in the bb-hosts 
file.

The 'rrdtool info /path/to/file.rrd' would also help shed some light here.

I don't have a temp column, should I?  I get an answer for the first OID but
the humidity is -1.

I'll remove it once everything is working, thanks for the tip.  I am running
4.3.2

No RRD "header" for the devmon collector.

Looks like this was collected by NCV, but the values following the "C" are not 
pure numeric. I would suggest you play with the formatting in the messages 
file to ensure that lines with a colon are strictly:

Name : value

Something like this:

[Josh L. <jo...@im...>]

I put that information in the message file and now it is putting that on the
Xymon page (
http://172.16.0.114/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=stouderapc&SERVICE=power )

Looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/dGAzY.png

It doesn't look like it's reading it correctly or I told it to do something
wrong.

I supplied a diff you should have been able to apply to the original messages 
file.

Here is the complete modified messages file:

Re: [Devmon] Devmon not populating rrd file correctly

[Josh L. <jo...@im...>]

Sorry about that, I didn't recognize that format.

I made the changes, deleting power.rrd and the file is no longer being
generated.

Re: [Devmon] Devmon not populating rrd file correctly

[Richard F. <gol...@gm...>]

http://pastebin.com/WY7k37WM is what I've been using for graphing, in
case you get an RRD generated via NCV again. I'm guessing you still
have TEST2RRD with "power=devmon" instead of "power=ncv" and weren't
aware that it doesn't take effect immediately (I think one needs to at
least kill|signal the channel=status process).

Add to oids:
upsVoltageActual: .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.8.0        : leaf
upsReplaceDate  : .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.1.3.0        : leaf
upsCurrentOut   : .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.2.4.0        : leaf

and add at least the first one somewhere in the message.
Alternatively, remove it from the graph definition if you're not using
it.

Your proposed graph definition seems to have some sort of volt byte
units. If you're converting from volt bits to volt bytes, you should
divide by 8 rather than multiplying. :)  It is trying to use a
nonexistent "in" value, which doesn't exist as a DS in your RRD, so
the units are moot.

In my experience, there's no need to patch the message file as Buchan
suggested (because, simply stated, the NCV parser starts when it sees
a digit or "-" and stops when it sees a non-digit non-period), but I'm
not seeing the "C" he mentioned. OTOH, I'm still on 4.2.3.

Here's what I use for the NCV parser:
NCV_power="BatteryTemperature:GAUGE,RuntimeRemaining:GAUGE,BatteryCapacity:GAUGE,UPSLoad:GAUGE,Voltageactual:GAUGE,Voltagein:GAUGE,Voltageout:GAUGE,Currentout:GAUGE,Timeonbattery:GAUGE,Lastreplacedon:GAUGE"
Now that I look at it again, that Lastreplacedon value really oughtn't
be there; as implied above, for a date of "05/01/07", it's parsed as
(and results in) "5". A drawback of the NCV parser (and a raison
d'etre of SPLIT_NCV) is that an RRD can't easily have an DS pruned,
last I checked, so I can't remove it without starting over.

My TEST2RRD includes "power=ncv" and GRAPHS includes
",power:power|power1|power2," but, again, that's on 4.2.3.

Re: [Devmon] Devmon not populating rrd file correctly

[Josh L. <jo...@im...>]

Thanks for getting back to me!  This is all way too much effort for me to
deploy, but I would like to complete Devmon + Xymon on the VM guest to share
with everyone.

>I'm guessing you still have TEST2RRD with "power=devmon" instead of

I tend to expect (with Xymon) config files to be read upon start, every few
minutes.  When testing new territory I tend to restart things to be certain.

>and add at least the first one somewhere in the message.

Add the first one of what?  This is my message: http://pastebin.com/SyDrLc8c

>Your proposed graph definition seems to have...

I am using your Pastebin in graphs.cfg now.

Devmon is giving me more hassle and as it took me a month and a half to
thank you, I think that shows I am a bit busy =(
