Nagios Support Forum

Hi, there. I create my own templates for pnp4nagios occasionally and I'm having trouble changing the 'Datastore:' name that appears above the graph. It always shows 'ds1', no matter what I do on custom templates.

In the past, I thought I could change it by using $ds_name[1] = "New name"; However, that's not doing the trick.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks!

I have not personally tried this, but you may need to change the host/service's XML to define the new name as shown here:

http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/doc_complete

Interesting. I viewed the xml in the perfdata directory and DS1 is named 'in' and DS2 is named 'out', which is correct. The template merges these two datasources to a single graph with 2 lines, but it's named 'ds1'. I can't find a reference to that anywhere, so this is strange to me. I though $ds_name[1] was the way to go, but it has no effect.

I think you need to define it in opt[1]

That part works fine. Attached is a picture to better depict what I'm referring to. Thx!

Take a look in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/lang/en-perfgraphs.inc.php

I think you can define what ds1, ds2 etc map to here. In @Box293's example, "CPU Load" was mapped from "ds1" for the "check_local_load" command. Similarly, "Packet Loss" would map from "pl" for the default template, and "Response Time" can come from either "time" or "ds1" in the "check_http" command.

Make sense?

You're the man! That did the trick

Do you know if there's a way to remove the 'Datasource' completely from above the graph? I imagine it's not possible, so this is great!

/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/xicore/dashlets-perfdata.inc.php

Search for "Datasource" and change both definitions.

Great - Thx! I ended up not doing that, but it's nice to know that it's an option.

Nice, I like learning new tricks
