Re: Multi-target frustration

I see what's wrong.   You have actually created a new target
with each individual ldap server in it.  If you look in 
your crcket-data directory, you will see an .rrd file
for each target.  All the same size except for one that's
about 9 times bigger then the other 9.  

mtargets only works when the target type of each element
of a mtargets= is the exact same target type (name wise).

You can sum() dses from different target types together
with cricket easily.


I would have done it this way.

# define an ldap binds target type

targetType  ldap-bind
    ds  =   "binds-ldap"

datasource  binds-ldap
    ds-source   =   "exec:0:/usr/local/bin/ldapmon -B -h %server%"
    desc        =   "The number of binds/second on %server%."
    rrd-ds-type =   DERIVE
    rrd-min     =   0
    rrd-max     =   undef

# define our ldap server

target ldap1-binds
    server = "ldap1.stanford.edu"
    short-desc   =   "ldap1: binds"
    target-type  =   ldap-binds

target ldap2-binds
    server = "ldap2.stanford.edu"
    short-desc   =   "ldap2: binds"
    target-type  =   ldap-binds

etc....

Then define a multi target.  This sums all datasources in each target together producing a 
graph with one line per data source.

target binds-total
    short-desc   =   "binds/second total across all ldap servers"
    long-desc    =   "binds/second total across the LDAP servers dedicated to all queries"
    mtargets     = 
"ldap1-binds;ldap2-binds;ldap3-binds;ldap4-binds;ldap5-binds;ldap6-binds;ldap7-binds;ldap8-binds;ldap9-binds"
    mtarget-ops  =   "sum()"
    target-type  =  ldap-bind 

You can also have a graph showing each ldap server on a seperate graph.  you may want to set an y-max
sp the graphs can be compared side by side.  I find that people don't notice the number on the y-axis
at all times and it can lead to confusion.

target  binds-all
    short-desc   =   "binds/second across all ldap servers"
    long-desc    =   "binds/second across the LDAP servers dedicated to all queries"
    targets     = 
"ldap1-binds;ldap2-binds;ldap3-binds;ldap4-binds;ldap5-binds;ldap6-binds;ldap7-binds;ldap8-binds;ldap9-binds"
    target-type  =  ldap-bind

You mean like the huge error log bit I sent to the list yesterday? ;)

Here's my complete setup for this particular thing.  Since mtargets is not 
really well documented, I understand I may have any number of mistakes in 
my assumptions.  "binds-all" works and graphs as expect, so I don't 
understand why "binds-total" doesn't.

    short-desc   =   "ldap1: binds"
    target-type  =   ldap1-binds

    short-desc   =   "ldap2: binds"
    target-type  =   ldap2-binds

target ldap3-binds
    short-desc   =   "ldap3: binds"
    target-type  =   ldap3-binds

target ldap4-binds
    short-desc   =   "ldap4: binds"
    target-type  =   ldap4-binds

target ldap5-binds
    short-desc   =   "ldap5: binds"
    target-type  =   ldap5-binds

    target-type  =   ldap6-binds
