Could someone tell me if I am trying to do
something that isn't adviseable or possible?
I currently run a script that queries all of my
UPSes via snmp. However, it has now come time
to add some "historical" graphical data to the
device status. All I want to do is just diaplay a graph
(of the last week?) for the last week for the
device when we drill down for more info. I guess
it
could take the place
of the history button, but being as it is late I really haven't had a chance
to
think that out too far...
I currently have BB1.9e installed with apache and
rrdtool. I have been using rrd for the historical
information on my 60+ (and growing) population of
UPSes for a couple of weeks now. When you
factor in the 8 or so items that I am monitoring
per device (so far) it gets to be very messy...
The information I would like to display could be
temperature, line voltage, etc... and is something
that I would like to do on a device-by-device
basis. I don't need any of the alerting faetures - just
a graph. This is something that isn't required on all devices,
but it would be nice to have.
My problem might be that I actually have too much
information. I have looked into larrd and the
various scripts, but I haven't seen anything that
jumps out at me as being "the solution". I guess
the bottom line is that I don't want to gain any
more extra "dots" or have something that shows all
of the graphs - I have that right now and it
is a pain to weed through. I have seen some posts from
a couple of years ago discussing pretty much
the same issues, and was wondering what anyone
else has done.
Also, in my search for my answer I also thought
that it would be a good idea to either feed data
from BB into rrd or
from rrd into BB - more for history if anything else. Is this something
that could
be done in BB, or is it something better handled by
Hobbit?
Could anyone help point me in the right
direction?
TIA.
