Hello *! Monitoring hundreds of nodes with the help of rrdtool is fun and so I decided it is time to upgrade from 1.0.49 to 1.2.11. Everything worked well (compiled from the source tarball) but my perl script to produce nifty pictures now starts complaining about numerous errors. Checking the script and it seems that the perl module RRDs bundled with the new version is _really_ picky about trailing white spaces in DEF and CDEF statements. E.g.
"DEF:load15=$DataDir"."/".$host."/load.rrd:load15:AVERAGE " gives: Error:Cannot parse CF in 'DEF:load15=/home/www/systems/node064/load.rrd:load15:AVERAGE ' or "CDEF:lw=up,idlecpu,+ " results in: Error:invalid rpn expression in: up,idlecpu,+ Hmmm ... I guess trailing spaces in _these_ statements will produce no confusion (and with rrdtool <1.2.11 (<1.2.x?) this whitespace is not considered as an error). Furthermore it now starts complaining about statements like this: "COMMENT:Maximum: " this produces this error: Error:Garbage ': ' after command: COMMENT:Maximum: Similar entries in AREA statements will produce: (e.g. "AREA:procurfport16in#00ff00:Incoming traffic: ") Garbage found where STACK expected But this could be solved by escaping the colon like this: "AREA:procurfport16in#00ff00:Incoming traffic\\: " But this doesn't work with the errors generated by the COMMENT statement :/ Can I consider this behaviour as a bug? Or is it this the intended behaviour? Does anybody out there has a clue/workaround for this? Many thanks in advance, Andreas. P.S.: Have a nice weekend anyway ;) -- Dipl.-Ing.
