[Perfparse-users] PerfParse Graphs

[<nu...@ts...>]

To my knowledge, a service can have only one extended information URL.  If 
you use the perfParse URL for a service it shows one graph.

Has anyone created or know how to have that URL pull up more than one 
graph?
*  On the same page show a different view of the same data. 1 year, 1 
month, 1 day,  etc.
*  On the same page show all the services performance data in a separate 
graph.
    e.g. Disk space may have more than one 
'label'=value[UOM];[warn];[crit];[min];[max] for each filesystem

Multiple services on one graph would be great.

There was something about this on the wiki

Schnitzel,

This ability was planned from the start.  Various starts on this problem 
have been made.  This problem is complicated by several issues.  One of 
which is a major re-write to the graph drawing program, or replacement 
by GnuPlot.

This was planned in great detail by my self and Yves.  Unfortunately 
neither of us have the time to complete this at this time.

The product will one day have a 'Shopping Cart' where the user can 
select a collection of metrics.  This collection will be stored in the 
database and could be selected to graph in the same way a single metric 
is selected.

This collection graph will not show the warn, critical.  Just a single 
line for each metric in various colours.  The scale of which will be 
from one of three options:
- By comparison of absolute value.  Eg, for disk space.
- By comparison of the Max/Min of each metric as a percentage.  Eg, 
server load and user count.
- By best-fit, were largest value for each plot in range = 100%.

The analysis of this problem also showed where some good abstraction 
points can be built into the software.  Eg, for extraction of a data set 
as a memory structure for any use.

So this is a large task.  Requiring database work, mathematical work, 
graphical work, and hard-core programming.

When we have resources, this is a problem we will attack as soon as we can.

Regards,

Ben

Re: [Perfparse-users] PerfParse Graphs

[<nu...@ts...>]

In the meantime, has anyone created a CGI program that will generate=20
multiple graphs per URL page.  This is a different approach than having=20
all of them in the same graph.

I'm guessing that a program could generate similar graphs like=20
nagiosgraph. Nagiosgraph has a graph for the day, week and by the year.=20
Has anyone attempted that yet?

I do like perfparse better.

I was going to try to write something that did that but I'm having=20
problems with my syntax.  I was going to use PHP.  I copied one of the=20
URLs created in perfparse and was trying to have the image displayed.  I=20
have two problems.  First, the password has to be sent again.  Secondly,=20
the output is a bunch of garbage.  I am new to PHP and I'm willing to help =

write something.  Let me know what you guys think?

Re: [Perfparse-users] PerfParse Graphs

[Flo G. <fl...@bi...>]

I don't know what you plan to do, but only for displaying the image you=20
don't need php nor curl nor the header() thing. Display the image with a=20
html page including a image:
<img src=3D'http://nagtst01/nagios/cgi-bin/perfchart.png?host=3Doma3a001&..=
=2E'>

If you plan to cache images or want to copy the images automatically, then=
=20
it would be best to call the binary perfchart.png via cron or commandline=
=20
and write the output in a file:

Set the query string as apache would do:
  export QUERY_STRING=3D"host=3Dbvba1&service=3DCPU+Load&metric=3Dload15&se=
lect_line=3D1&s_val=3D1&s_smo=3D0&s_war=3D1&s_cri=3D1&s_sta=3D1&g_sigma=3D1=
4.000000&timeperiod=3Dr&reltime=3D00%3A00&reldays=3D1"

execute the cgi:
  ./perfchart.png > /tmp/test.png

This file then includes the http header. Usually 3 lines. These can be=20
stripped with some shell script:

L=3D`wc -l /tmp/test.png|awk '{print $1}'`
tail -n $((L-2)) /tmp/test.png > /tmp/test_stripped.png

Probably there will be one time a option that surpresses the header=20
output.

FWIW, I've set the following for 'icon_image' in the Nagios hostextinfo
stanza:

icon_image  redhat.gif' border="0" width=20 height=20><A TARGET="_blank" HREF="/cgi-bin/perfparse.cgi?select_metric=1&host_name=myhost" BORDER="0"><img src='/nagios/images/graph.png

Yes, that's all one line. The game being played is to fit into the HTML
being generated by nagios. The first icon ("redhat.gif", in the example)
is just to show the OS of the host. We then close out the (unshown,
generated by Nagios) IMG tag, and then add a new link to the perfparse
CGI, setting the host name and bringing up the metric selection list. I
use the 'graph.png' img as my link "text", and the Nagios CGI will close
the tag. (The links and filenames will need to be adjusted to your
particular installation, of course.

I chose to do this on per host basis, you could use the serviceextinfo
stanza and do it on per service basis, probably.
