Yes, it is talking to the database and then creating an RRD datapoint. What's been sort of stumping me (I haven't really spent time on this too much) is how to parse out what it's dumping in the RRD so I can instead return it in Nagios format on the command line for the Command Based Data Source.
The problem with directly going to the RRD is that it is not going through most of the Zenoss data processing so things like Thresholds do not work, but you can of course see the graph there... It's more efficient though as it's not shelling out as part of the command cycle, so it's a tradeoff, but for my load, getting thresholds would be nice, and far more in line with how the other "extensions" to zenoss I've used (Zenpacks and my custom stuff) work. -- James Pulver Information Technology Area Supervisor LEPP Computer Group Cornell University nelliott wrote, On 9/10/2009 2:43 PM: > Thank you, I think the clue about using transforming to prevent deduplicating > events is going to get me somewhere. > > I am not sure I understand the command based datasource bit, I'll have to > read it more.
