RE: [SA-list] Generate graphs of up and downtime

Title: Generate graphs of up and downtime

I have now been able to create graphs, my problem was that the path to rrdtools included space. This resulted in an error when running the update script, and the databases and graphs where then never updated with new values.   For creating graphs with Servers Alive and rrdtool, I run the following command when creating the CREATE script in Servers Alive (Setup-> Logging -> RRDTools ) : -s 120 DS:stats_uptime:DERIVE:720:0:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:21600 This will create databases for each server of the uptime of each server. What I want is the uptime for each server over a period of a month. I want to collect data every other minute. Is this a correct command to use? Is the stats_uptime the right DS to get the time a server has status up?   I have altered the graph script to be as follows: rrdtool.exe graph  month_sa_1.png --start now-31d --end now --imgformat PNG  --title="Uptime on server xxx" DEF:sa_2=sa_2.rrd:stats_uptime:AVERAGE LINE1:sa_2#0000FF:"Up Time"   The update scripts are created automatically by Servers Alive. Will the update script fetch the right data (stats_uptime) ? And if not, is there any way to alter the automatically created update script?   Tom     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: 15. august 2005 03:05 To: salive@woodstone.nu Subject: RE: [SA-list] Generate graphs of up and downtime   The GRAPH script is created once (when you push the button to create it :-)) and from that point on we execute it.  So if you change the existing BAT file (sa_create_graph.bat) you can do anything you want with it.       Dirk.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fladsrud Tom Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 2:53 PM To: salive@woodstone.nu Subject: [SA-list] Generate graphs of up and downtime I am new to using the RRDTools, and I want to generate graphs of up and downtime of servers. I want to display the sum of the downtime of all servers each day, and the sum of the downtime of all servers for each day for the last month using the graph method in RRDTools. I want to display this in the same graph. Using the build-in feature in Servers Alive (File->Setup->Logging->RRDTools->”Generate CREATE script”- button) I am able to alter the standard CREATE script to what I want. However I am not able to alter the GRAPH script. And my first question is: 1) Is it possible to alter both the graph and create script in Servers Alive, or to I have to build the graph script separately? By using the create script below a bat file that generates several rrd files (This script may have several flaws): rrdtool create Graph/filename --start now-30d --step 60 DS:stats_uptime:DERIVE:1000000:U:U DS:stats_downtime:DERIVE:1000000:U:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:60:744 My second, and most important question is then: 2) How do I summarize the downtime and uptime of servers, and display this in one graph? There are four statuses I eventually want to display : up, down, unavailable and maintenance I am able to display the header and vertical label that I want, but that’s about it…. I would appreciate any help I can get on this subject   Best regards  Tom Fladsrud
