Tutorial

Perhaps it's worth recollecting that the game of cricket was allegedly
invented by the English to illustrate the concept of eternity....

The cricket software documentation, like any documentation, could be
usefully improved, but once setup it does it's job well and it's free.

Re: Is anybody alive on the list?

Looks like your Defaults file has some typo in it, perhaps not finding
the elements listed under your view tag line.  

I'd check the dbl quotes and make sure they are closed correctly.  there
are 2 ways that i know of to setup targetTypes, views and graphs.  Below
is an snip of mine.  Make sure your ds names under targetTypes matches
your elements under the view, which also matches your graph names.:

targetType  standard-interface
    ds   =  "ifHCInOctets, ifHCOutOctets"
    view =  "Octets"

view "Octets"
    elements = "ifHCInOctets,ifHCOutOctets"
    height = 400
    width  = 1000

graph   ifHCInOctets
    color       =   dark-green
    draw-as     =   AREA
    legend      =   "Average bits in"
    y-axis      =   "bits per second"
    units       =   "bits/sec"
    scale       =   8,*
    bytes       =   true
    show-max    =   true
    draw-max-as =   LINE1
    max-color   =   red

graph   ifHCOutOctets

Deafult systemperf files doesn't work

I am trying to make cricket work using systemperf subtree. I have all the
default files setup as it is.
Each time I run it gives me an error that NO DS TAG FOUND FOR TARGET TYPE
([01-Feb-2007 15:09:32*] No ds tag found for target type .)

Can anybody tell me how this cricket works?? Whenever you execute a collctor
script, which tag it first picks up & starts executing from there?

A nice explanation of which tag are dependent up on whic tag liek a work
flow would be very helpful....

Re: Tutorial

The cricket documentation will be updated with links to useful tutorials 
that have been prepared by individuals or companies. Those that come to 
mind are, windows installations, debian installations, mtargets, etc.

If you have useful documentation that you wish to get integrated within 
the cricket documentation or FAQ, please send in your links and/or 
documents to the sourceforge.net/projects/cricket/ patches section. 
Located under the tracker menu item.

One thing I have noticed, is the FAQ section which should answer tons of 
questions that come up immediately when trying to figure out what 
cricket is. I can still remember the first time I tried installing and 
configuring cricket.. If it hadn't been for the tutorials, the 
dictionary, the examples and the original genCatConfig + genRtrConfig I 
probably would have been less inclined to do major deployments.

So let's give back a little something. Submit FAQ items, tutorials, 
improvements to the documentation, more examples.

The sourceforge tracker/patches tracker/bugs is very easy to use, so go 
crazy..

Cheers,

Re: Is anybody alive on the list?

Take a good long stare at the config tree, there is an error there for
"http-performance" ,
Take a look at its targetType 

If send along the files you will get extra eyes to look at it.

Re: Is anybody alive on the list?

It's too late now!!!!
I figured out!!!
Cricket users list really sucks!!
Defaults file has targettype for  http-performance, which doesn't have any
view defined.

Re: Is anybody alive on the list?

"Cricket users list really sucks!!"

Well, now that we know how you really feel, next time you get stuck and 
need help and you post to the list, we'll all be danged sure to simply 
delete your email.

For future reference, posting that you "fixed it and here's what I did" 
is great... it means you learned something and it goes into the Cricket 
users mailing list archive so future generations can find the answer 
through a simple search without even having to post. However, tell the 
list (which is a few thousand members long) that the "list sucks" is 
going to get you nowhere.

But here's the real beauty of it... at some point in time you're going 
to interview for a job, probably an IT one. And you're going to put your 
email on your resume. And when you do, a smart IT boss will know enough 
to put "topathik <at> gmail.com" into Google and one of the hits will be this 
thread, only archived. And then he'll see that while you're technically 
adept, you have no people skills and he won't hire you cause you'll 
probably be very likely to treat other employees the same way. 
Reputations need to be respected, especially in the internet world. 
Consider, for example, that my name is shared with a famous movie 
director... thus, searching my name on the internet will get you 
nothing. But searching my normal handle/moniker that I use 
(Supp0rtLinux) will yield all sorts of stuff... all of which shows my 
skills, my deficiencies, and my thoughts. Thankfully I learned this a 
long time ago, so I've learned to be careful what I say. You'd be wise 
to heed the same lesson...
