Nagios Support Forum

I am trying to track the number of unique DNS queries that are hitting our server. I was able to modify the check_bind.sh script and it works nicely. Here is the output I get:
My problem now is that I want to view this in pnp4nagios but it looks like this:



What do I need to do in order to produce a nice graph like the others?

If I change the DS # to one that exist in BIND.rrd it will then show in graph format but at the next check interval pnp4nagios changes it back to 9 and looks like the pic again.

If you have updated the script and additional datasources have been added after the initial creation of the RRD, this is the cause of the error.

When RRD files are first created, they are created with X amount of datasources (whatever data is being pushed in the first time).
If more datasources are added later, they are ignored as the RRD is not created to accommodate them.

You have two solutions:
1) Delete the RRD file and let it be created automatically again. You will lose all historic data.

2) This script for Nagios XI can update the RRD file with the correct amount of datasources.

ICMP and Ping Checks Stopped Graphing After XI 2014 Upgrade

It is a basic perl script so it should work, but because you're not using XI I cannot guarantee it will.

Ok, tested the file deletion method and that worked. Thanks for the help!

Glad to see this fixed! I'll go ahead and close this thread out now, but if you need any assistance in the future feel free to open a new one.
