Passing arguments to Powershell

The issue with altering the rrdtool create template is that the change will be system wide, effecting all new rrds. You would have to create the check, and then re-create the rrd with the desired settings and overwrite the original with the custom rrd. You will have to do this for each rrd that needs a different configuration.

You can disable perfdata on checks through the ccm. Open up the service in the ccm, go to the check settings tab and bullet "off" for the "Process Perf Data" option.

Ok, Found how to disable perfdata for some services. Tx.

About the rrdtool template. I have no idea how to start this. Do you mean i have to edit the .rrd file for the particular service? Reinhardt was talking about a template that could be used for many services?

You would not be able to modify, but instead completely create a new rrd and replace the one that would be created by default. Unfortunately it was pointed out to me that it is not possible to define a separate rrd creation template, as the other templates all reference a single one. Thankfully, it should be a fairly simple set of commands to create and replace the existing rrd. Let me setup some commands, and I will post back with some for you to try.

Hello,

Did you manage to find some information about how to do this? Some of my graphs are still empty becasue the schedule time is set too long.

Grtz

I know we discussed it, myself and a dev, and agreed it's less than ideal but can be done. I honestly forgot what all needed to be done. So I set a reminder for myself to speak with him again in the morning and get you a full report. Sorry for the delay!

[WillemDH]

Any news about this?

[sreinhardt]

short answer, no not really. Longer answer, we are testing it and finding a good solution. It is and has been discussed, and apparently is a bit more tricky than any of us figured for a single(set of) rrd file.

[WillemDH]

Ok, I'll patiently wait for you guys to come uo with some solution. Tx for the update!

[sreinhardt]

ya, I'm sorry that its taking so long, as if this was a one off rrd it would be less of an issue, however since we are presuming based on past discussions that its going to be something you wish to use for an extended amount of time and for several different rrds at the least. So a full on guide\way to do it properly is what we're aiming for!

[WillemDH]

We have indeed several kind of checks that are running only once a day, that would need some kind of graph to visualise growth over different timeperiods.
