Create & Schedule new Graphs
From ServersCheck Wiki
Since release 5.2.0 of ServersCheck you can not only create custom graphs like before but also schedule them to be refreshed at your preferred refresh rate. With your installation of ServersCheck you will see two sample graphs like the ones below:
With the new module it is now possible to set values of different checks into one single graph as shown in the above graph.
Creating a Custom Graph
Open your browser and connect to ServersCheck. Click the Trends Analysis option in the left menu.
The main screen of defining a report is now shown
Enter the title for the graph in the Title field.
You now need to add what items you want to show in the graph. Click on the Add Item To Graph button. A new window opens:
Click the Add Item button to add the selected item to the graph. Repeat this step for all the rules you want to include in this graph.
The time range can be set as follows:
- Either a specific time range (refreshing of graph will have no affect as all graphs remain the same)
- A time range until now (= the time when the graph is created and refreshed). This time range can be set in seconds, minutes, hours, days or weeks
After you set time range for graph, click Create Graph button to finish this process of graph creation.
Removing Custom Graphs
To remove a custom graph simply go the output\graphs subdirectory of your main ServersCheck directory (by default it is located in C:\Program Files\ServersCheck). All scheduled graphs start with sch-.
To remove the scheduling of a graph, open the scheduled.graphs file in the graphs subdirectory of your main ServersCheck directory. The file can be safely opened with notepad.exe In that file is the command written to create the graph with the RRDTool. Delete the line from the file related to your check and save the file again. The deleted scheduled graph will no longer be created.
