HOW TO SOLVE GRAPHING PROBLEMS
==============================

Most of the information in this mail is combination of what you will
find in the FAQ, Wiki and Documentation, but I thought i'd couple it
together and post it in here, as there seem to be a lot of questions
asked about this topic.

No Graphs Appear
----------------
Not to be mistaken with blank graphs, this sometimes occurs when you've
added a device (either manually or via auto-discovery) and there are no
graphs appearing at all on the 'Perf' tab for the device.  The only
thing you may see are the headings of CPU, Paging etc. and spaces where
the graphs should be.

The most common way of solving this problem is to change directory to
switch to the user that Zenoss is running under (usually this is 'zenoss')

$ su zenoss

And then change directory to the zenoss bin directory, located in the
Zenoss home directory.  To find out exactly where the Zenoss home
directory is located type:

$ echo $ZENHOME

This will only return a value when logged on as the Zenoss user.

Next you will need run the following command:

zenperfsnmp run -d xxx.xxx.xxx -v10

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the name of the device.


Graphs Exist Without Data
-------------------------
In this case, the graphs are produced and are available when you click
on the 'Perf' tab, but they contain no data.  Often the values show
'nan'.  In most cases, the data simply hasn't been collected yet, wait
about 30 minutes and refresh the screen to see if that has made any
difference.  If data still does not appear, you should navigate to
/About in the Zenoss interface and restart the collectors zenperfsnmp,
zenprocess and zencommand one at a time, you should see that graphs now
have values associated with them.




I hope this helps
