[rrd-users] Help wint customization
Hello, I need some help here please. We use rrd + mrtg to monitor our routers, switches, some computers, and pretty much everyting else that uses bandwidth. It also monitors our dial up boxes, like HiperArc's, Portmasters and IQX's for amount of users currently connected. It does fine for the most part. But now we want it to also show text of how many modems are connected, some of our corporate customers do not want to have to count the graph. I can see that this line is pulling the numbers from somewhere: GPRINT:$mds1:MAX:Max $sout, GPRINT:mpcout:MAX:(%2.0lf%%), Does ayone know how i can pull the data used by this GPRINT function to use in another area? I am pretty sure that as you switch graphs from 6hour - daily - weekly and so on it automatically updates this with the MAX and Average values for that time frame. I already had made changes to the script to print the text values that we were trying to get, it was like an 80 line addition to the script. The addition went out to the rrd files on its own and pulled the information using this: my $modemsinuse = qx(/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.33/bin/rrdtool fetch $rrd MAX --start end-4minutes); I am just looking for a more smooth way to do this. Other people here will be updating some of the other monitoring servers with this information and I would like to do it in less than 80 lines if possible. I could have optimized and probably gotten it to 60 or 70 lines. There were a lot of calculations going on in this, percentages, 24hour, daily, monthly also a lot of splits of course to parse the data and a few color changes depending on certain values. Or if anyone knows of an existing script that will do this, or could be lightly modified to do this. We modified the original routers.cgi to get the information that we are currently using for modems. Any help would be appreciated.

By far the easiest is to use another RRDtool command. Use rrdtool graph without actually creating an image. Only use PRINT (not *G*PRINT) and collect the output to use it as input for the next run. my $modemsinuse = qx(/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.33/bin/rrdtool fetch $rrd MAX --start end-4minutes); Close, you should use graph, not fetch. You can then query MAX, MIN, AVERAGE and LAST as you're used to do. rrdtool graph /dev/null DEF: ... CDEF: ... no LINE, AREA, STACK or GPRINT ... PRINT:ds0:MAX:%10.2lf Now you can use $modemsinuse in the next rrdtool command, spanning the same time range yet actually creating the graph. If you like you can also have a look at the 1.1.x version. This is alpha code but I think VDEF is suitable to solve your problem. If you want to test it and comment on it that would be great.

[rrd-users] One more question
Hello, First of all thank you Alex van den Bogaerdt for you help. That information did greatly help with what i was trying to do. One more question. Does CDEF support a round or integer function? I tried just using rnd and int they both came back as not a valid command errors, I need to drop the decimal point off of the numbers that are being generated.

[rrd-users] Re: RRDTOOL-1.00.38 on Windows XP Professional
I've seen this error also when I upgraded from 1.0.33 to 1.0.35. You probably need to reinstall the perl stuff. Go into the perl-shared directory and type ppm install rrds.ppd. That should fix it. Hopefully.

[rrd-users] Re: Calculate area from graph?
That is very strange. I think I screwed up the program I sent you. I
didn't take into account that you're probably storing SNMP Octets instead of
bits in your RRDTool database file. That examination for $val's100 may
not be right. You may want to test it against 125000 instead to take into
account that there are 8 bits in an octet. Sorry about that.
Since you're sampling so quickly I'm not sure that you've taken this into
account when you sized your RRA's. For example with your
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 that would store 600 entries which are an average of 1
10 second sample, giving you 10 minutes worth of values in that RRA. With
the next RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700 that would store 700 entries which are an
average of the previous 6 samples, giving you about 11.6 hours of samples.
I think you see where I'm going here. The same holds true for the MAX
values. I think that the FETCH is pulling from an RRA that doesn't have the
resolution you're looking for. It looks like you may have got those values
from the RRD Tutorial or something which uses that to demonstrate examining
a network device every 5 minutes. I think you may need to up your stored
samples to their current values *30 (since there is 30 10second intervals in
5 minutes).
If I'm way off base here, just tell me and I'll see if I can think of
anything else.

Hi,
I tried using fetch to sum the values over 1mbps, but im getting different
results... For example: 18/5-23/5 returns 453.65MB
19/5-23/5 returns 92.08MB (!)
20/5-23/5 returns 542.46MB
This is pretty annoying.
To create my RRA i use a a perlscript:
(...)
$speed = $data{$SystemName}{'ifSpeed'}
@interface_rrd = (DS:InBits:COUNTER:600:0:$speed,
DS:OutBits:COUNTER:600:0:$speed,
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600,
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700,
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775,
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:797,
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:600,
RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700,
RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775,
RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797);
(...)
if(RRDs::create ($rrd_store/$rrdfile, --step=10, @interface_rrd))
(...)
Im currently running this script every 10 seconds.
Is there something wrong with this picture?

You could try running a fetch for the week and add up all the
bytes that are
1Mbps. If you're using Perl it would be something like this:
Assuming: You have the RRD shared module loaded in Perl
Your file is called 'bandwidth.rrd' for
example purposes
---Start Code---
# Fetch a week's worth (604800 seconds) of data from bandwidth.rrd my
($start,$step,$names,$data)=RRDs::fetch(bandwidth.rrd,AVERA
GE,--start=-
604800);
# Reset the over limit count to zero
$totalover1Mbps=0;
# Examine each line returned from the fetch
foreach my $line (@$data) {
# Examine each value on each line returned by the fetch
foreach my $val (@$line) {
if($val 100) {# The value is greater
that 1Mbps
# Add the amount over 1Mbps to a total
over counter
$totalover1Mbps=$totalover1Mbps+($val-100);
}
}
}
---End Code---
Then you should have a scalar called $totalover1Mpbs that you
should be able to include in a comment on the graph
somewhere. I have to warn you, I'm pretty new at Perl so
this might not be the most efficient way of doing things
Just a thought.

Hello,
Im having some trouble with the graph...
I've attached a graph that shows all peaks over 1mbps with a
gray area, is it possible to calculate this area? The result
should be total bytes transferred during these peaks.
