How to create pages for pnp4nagios graphs

[roeseler]

Hello.

I'm trying to create pages in pnp4nagios that should contain only one graph. For instance, I have a switch that has a graph for an interface usage 'in' and another graph for 'out'; I would like to have a page that only contains the 'in' usage graph and another page for the 'out' usage graph, so that I can have them rotating in a monTV.
I don't now if it is possible to create the pages with the GUI so I created them manually in the folder /etc/pnp4nagios/pages and added the following content:

Code: Select all

#
# Sample Page Config
#
# Global Section
# use_regex [0|1]
# page_name < your page title >
# background_pdf <pdf file>

define  page  {
        use_regex 1
        page_name switch1-nwc-interface-usage-wan1-in
}

#
# Define the first Graph
#
define graph {
        host_name       switch1        # Every host starting with 'websrv'
        service_desc    interface-usage-wan1-in      # Every service starting with 'traffic'
        source          1             # OPTIONAL Show only the first image
}

When I open the page I get the following error:

Alert: ERROR: Sorry, but we can´t find any data using config file "switch1.cfg", Read FAQ online

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Just to add that I found the root cause. The service_desc was not matching the file name at /var/lib/pnp4nagios/perfdata on the host's folder.
Everything working now!

Cheers!
