Creating a custom graph?

[MikeJ1234]

Hello,

Can someone point me in the right direction for creating a custom graph?

Here's my scenario.

I have one linux server running the SOLR indexing service. I can view the number of indexed records easily by running this command in a browser:

http://MySolrHost:8080/solr/select?q=*%3A*&start=0&rows=0

It returns something like this:

<response>
<lst name="responseHeader">
<int name="status">0</int>
<int name="QTime">1</int>
<lst name="params">
<str name="start">0</str>
<str name="q">*:*</str>
<str name="rows">0</str>
</lst>
</lst>
<result name="response" numFound="1547" start="0"/>
</response>

This works nicely because I can see the value is 1547.

To get only the value I want (without the XML output) I can run this:

/usr/bin/curl -v "http://MySolrHost:8080/solr/select?q=*%3A*&start=0&rows=0" 2>&1| sed -n  "s/.*numFound=\"//;s/\" start=.*//p"

So what I would like to do is have Zabbix run the above command every minute and graph the values accordingly.

What's the best approach for this (graphing a numeric value based on a CURL command). Can someone point me in the right direction - perhaps a previous post somewhere?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Mike

You can use user parameters:
http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...userparameters
You can access a graph of you item(s) (data) in the GUI ( Monitor -> Last Data)
And you can put this graph in a screen (simple graph).

Thanks for your help on this.

Can you confirm if I've done this correctly?

Here's my zabbix_agentd.conf on my SOLR server (only the uncommented lines):

LogFile=/tmp/zabbix_agentd.log
EnableRemoteCommands=1
Server=MyZabbixServer
Hostname=MySolrHost
UserParameter=system.run,curl -v "http://MySolrHost:8080/solr/select?q=*%3A*&start=0&rows=0" 2>&1 | sed -n  "s/.*numFound=\"//;s/\" start=.*//p"

And then I have this as the 'key' field for the item I created:

system.run[/usr/bin/curl -v "http://MySolrHost:8080/solr/select?q=*%3A*&start=0&rows=0" 2>&1 | sed -n  "s/.*numFound=\"//;s/\" start=.*//p"]

I'm not sure about the key (if it should be system.run).

I have specified the above information in my config but I'm not seeing the expected results in the graph.

Thanks for your time.

More information. It says the /usr/bin/curl -v .... command "became not supported: Not supported by Zabbix Agent"

I found this information in the log file of the server.

I was able to correct this issue.

The problem was that even though I was restarting the agent on the SOLR server, it wasn't actually removing the old pid in /tmp. I had to manually kill the agent using:

killall -9 zabbix_agentd

then restart it manually.

After i did this, the agent reread the config file and the expected command ran.

Thanks,
Mike

Yes fine - you corrected it self!
The key can be what ever you like - just it is the same at agent side (conf file) and server side (item).
