Custom Multiplier in 1.1a1?

[obstler]

hi,

Just installed a fresh 1.1alpha1 system, and added a host with a simple icmppingsec check. that worked just fine, but I didn't like the values in seconds (0.02, 0.03, etc), so I changed the item to have a custom multiplier of 1000 in the hope of getting milliseconds and a nicer graph.

However the item remains its 0.0x values, and it seems the custom multiplier is not being applied?

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug in a1?

thanks, tom.

Hi Tom,

Note that the custom multiplier does not affect values already stored in the database. Are you talking about fresh data?

[obstler]

yup, talking about new data. even added a second host with a new icmppingsec item where I set the multiplier right at the beginning to make sure it's not a problem with first creating the item without it.

both the updated and the new item don't have the values multiplied.

The same for me

I also tested custom multiplier and it doesn't affect new data.

Fixed. The fix will be available in 1.1alpha2 soon.

I forgot to add that I've been working on support of monitoring of CPU times (idle, system, nice, user) these days. It's not done yet. ZABBIX 1.1alpha2 will be released as soon as I finish this functionality.

If adding that functionality takes a while, maybe you should release a2 with all the fixes so far, and include the new stuff with another, future release when it's ready.

Same problem in alpha2

Dear Alexei,
I installed alpha2 to resolve the miltiplier problem but seems that new data is never mutilplied. I tried recreating the SNMP items (obviously loosing all old data ) but the problem remains. I user "myadmin" to browse the database and seems all ok.
Can you give me some ideas where to search for the bug?

P.S. I can't also see the map graph. Created a new one but I still can see only the placeholder of the image, not the image itself.

[obstler]

Fixed. The fix will be available in 1.1alpha2 soon.

I can confirm that it is fixed, at least for icmppingsec. just upgraded to a2 and all the new values stored are correctly multiplied.

Hello again,
as per Obstler comment, I tried with icmpping (not icmppingsec) multiplier but nope. I'm trying to set a multiplier by 8 for a SNMP value of a Cisco network interface box to get Mbits instead of MB, is there anyone who as successfully set a multiplier for anything else than icmppingsec?
Maybe I'm not understanding one thing: is suckerd that stores the value multiplied or is calculated on the fly by the frontend? I tell you this because compiling apha1 and alpha2, suckerd is not recompiled by Makefile.

I tell you this because compiling apha1 and alpha2, suckerd is not recompiled by Makefile.

Extract alpha2 into a clean directory (nothing in the bin subdir except for the windows file), and then do configure/make, and you should have compiled all the files.

Obstler, shame on me!
I forgot to run ./configure with parameters for SNMP and mysql. Now the suckerd is compiled and multipliers works just fine
Thank you for the support and excuse me for this stupid mistake.
Happy testing to everyone!

So are you saying that a multiplier to convert from Bytes to Bits works for you (SNMP)? I am trying to accomplish this same task, and it's not working for me. I am curious how you are setup? I am running 1.1a2.

hi,

I'm not using SNMP values at the present time. I'm using the custom multiplier to convert icmppingsec values from seconds (0.013) to milliseconds (13), and that works fine in 1.1a2.

regards, tom.

I believe you still do not see correct values in Latest Values screen. It's not fixed yet.
