Problem with multi-target sums

Hey all,

I've set up a multi-target sum graph in cricket, and it's not working. I've
got several other multi-target sums set up that work fine, and I've
duplicated the config. The only difference is a different target-type.
Here's the relevant config:

targetType      F740QuotaTree
        ds              = "treeCurK, treeMaxK, treeCurFiles, treeMaxFiles"
        view            = "Bytes Used: treeCurK treeMaxK,
                           Files Used: treeCurFiles treeMaxFiles"

This is to graph quota trees on NetApp filers. The target works, as regular
targets with this type work as expected.

target "Mail trees (sum)"
        mtargets = "na1-1.san/mail;
		na1-2.san/mail;
		na2-1.san/mail;
		na2-2.san/mail;"
        mtargets-ops = "sum()"
        target-type = F740QuotaTree
        short-desc = "Mail trees (sum)"

This is the target definition for the multi-target sum. It's based on
another multi-target that works (using standard-interface as it's type).

There are a few errors I'm seeing in the httpd logs, but this seems to be
the centerpoint:
[03-Jul-2006 15:47:00*] Failed to get dslist from view name.

'collect = create' patch for collector

First of all, I like cricket because it's not "network device" centric like most of the other 
applications (cacti, mrtg, etc).  I'm focused on applications and it provides a
good framework for monitoring.

My cricket setup monitors network devices (via SNMP), and applications (offline collection). 
I have built a collection of scripts that process log files, etc, and produce files that
are transferred to the cricket server and then update the .rrd files (home grown script).
The targets collected this way have the "collect = false" set in the target so the collector
doesn't try to update.  If this is a good thing or not is another discussion.  

This all mostly works.

One big problem is when I create a new target.  The syntax for the rrd create is very complicated 
and I don't want to mess with it too much.

I create a target definition, etc.  I set the ds-source to "exec:0:echo Nan".  etc.  
When I create the targets file, I specify

    collect = true

compile and run the collector manually or wait for the next cron run.  After the run,
I edit the targets file and change the true to false.

    collect = false

Then run compile.  Now the offline collection scripts run and update the .rrd etc.

This is tedious.

The former is a packaging issue; the Perl modules should be in the default
module search path without need for "use lib" additions in applications.

The latter is a known problem in Cricket with the new RRDTool and I think we
even have a patch for it gathering dust somewhere.

The FWSM runs what is essentially PixOS 7.x and should behave similarly in terms
of SNMP. However, genDevConfig[0] may not recognize it as a such and probably
hasn't been extensively tested with PixOS 7.x yet so YMMV.

I've modified my "Default" file to include the following for FWSMs:

Architecture migration scripts

Hi,

I had to move a cricket installation with a lot of trees and targets from a
sparc/solaris to a x86/linux a while ago.
I searched the internet for tools to easily do this job (rrd->xml; scp;
xml->rrd), but couldn't find any. Therefore I creating 2 scripts myself.

They are downloadable (not forever!) from
http://www.thor-spruyt.com/rrd-architecture-migration.tar
Feel free to add them to the Cricket contributions.

Bad links in contrib page

Is anybody maintaining the contrib page anymore? 

The following are no longer available:
    unix_host_resources
    cricket-linux-boxen
    netsaintcricket.tar
    cricket-latency
    novell_netware_resources
    cricket-95
    Traffic for Cricket

I also get the feeling that new things are not finding their way onto
this page, but I haven't looked through the archives to figure this out

Those two are superceded by systemPerfConf.pl in Cricket-1.05.  They
shouldn't be needed anymore.

That one worked for me after a bit of patching, but Smokeping is so much
better that I didn't see the point in using it.  I should still have a
version of it lying around somewhere if we want to put it back in the
archives.

Yeah, I went looking for Cricket-95 a few weeks ago and gave up.  Kind of
scary to think that Google doesn't archive everything forever .

I haven't seen too many new things float by lately, but I suspect you're
right.  Unless the submitter is kind enough to file it on Sourceforge
as a patch or post it this (hopefully archived) mailing list, it won't
be easy for others to find.

It would also be nice to copy any remaining externally hosted Cricket
contribs to Sourceforge so we don't lose any more of them.
