[POSSIBLE-SPAM] RE: {bb} Getting larrd 0.43 to genrate trends.html

I got this working. It was a mismatch of the BBSTATSLOGS variable. I got
them both set to DYNAMIC and then deleted the bad trends.html files and
the graphs showed up.

Larry,
I am running BB Professional on Red Hat Enterprise Server. 4.10.  I
downloaded the larrd file from deadcat and then got the rpm for
rrdtool.
That didn't work. Although the rrdtool loaded it didn't load the
RRDs.pm
module so I spent the better part of the afternoon searching for that
which ended up going back to the rrdtool source and rolling my own. I
read all the warnings that this might not compile but it did. I had to
change some of the path settings since my Apache lives in a different
spot and I had to adjust the paths for rrdtool on larrd. The issues I
had dealt with the BBSTATUSLOGS variable. I found this out around 11
PM
last night. It was defaulting to STATIC in the bbdef-server.sh file
but
was set to DYNAMIC in larrd-config.pl.  Once I got them both
reflecting
DYNAMIC the graphs started showing up.

I am not familiar with AIX as I only used it for a short stint in
another life at Advanta.  Here is a link I found for a binary for AIX

http://www.inet.hr/zmp/ibm/rrdtool 

I found this where I got the source 

http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/index.en.html 

I tried to do the svn but nothing is easy from here and it never
replied so I just grabbed the source. LINUX is a bit easier since you
can easily grab all of the missing stuff via yum or going out and
getting the source.

Sorry I can't shed any other info on it.

John-

We have built a 3.2 BB server on an AIX 5.3 machine and it has been
impossible to get rrdtool compiled (it needs to many libs we don't
have).    I know this is not your issue, but Quest is of no help
(rrdtool is not supported by them) but how did you guys do it?  A few
pointers would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Subject: {bb} Getting larrd 0.43 to genrate trends.html

I am running Big Brother Professional 4.10 on RHES 5 and using
larrd0.43. The rrd files are getting generated and in my display page
the Trends column is showing up but when I click on the green icon
under
the trends I get an html message in the browser that the page can't be
found. I went to the directory where it is pointing and there is no
such
file. 

When I look in the LARRDOUT I see these entries:


/usr/local/larrd/disk-larrd.pl: ERROR creating
/home/bbd/bbvar/rrd/michael.adphila.org.disk,/dev/hda1.rrd: creating
'/home/bbd/bbvar/rrd/michael.adphila.org.disk,/dev/hda1.rrd': No such
file or directory


I must have something misconfigured.  

Any pointers 

TIA
