Walk method for Script Query

[henkwiedig]

Hi,

i'm wondering if it's possible to use the

Code: Select all

<method>walk</method>

tag in a Scripted Indexed Data Query method.

Currently my Scripts are called for each Output field and each Index separatly.

Yes you can use a walk instead of a get
take a look at the (faulty) examples of Eric Wall for CPU-Load.

You can implement your
<arg_index>index</arg_index>
<arg_query>query</arg_query>
<arg_get>get</arg_get>
in your ss_*.php however you like.

It only is important that your return-value match what the script_server expect.

You can for example buffer data in a file, too.

I use a script_query not a script_server script.

I will explain more details:

I use this xml for my Script Query

Code: Select all

<interface>
        <name>Get Nmon AIX CPU System Data</name>
        <script_path>|path_cacti|/scripts/nmonaixcpu.sh</script_path>

                </cpuWait>
                <cpuIdle>
                        <name>Idle</name>
                        <direction>output</direction>
                        <query_name>cpuidle</query_name>
                </cpuIdle>
        </fields>
</interface>

The script is call 4 Times to get all data for one CPU.
Like this

Code: Select all

/opt/pware/htdocs/cacti/scripts/nmonaixcpu.sh host1 get cpusys CPU01
/opt/pware/htdocs/cacti/scripts/nmonaixcpu.sh host1 get cpuwait CPU01
/opt/pware/htdocs/cacti/scripts/nmonaixcpu.sh host1 get cpuidle CPU01
/opt/pware/htdocs/cacti/scripts/nmonaixcpu.sh host1 get cpuuser CPU01

I'm thinking of a way to make the poller call the script just once to get all data, like:

Code: Select all

/opt/pware/htdocs/cacti/scripts/nmonaixcpu.sh host1 walk CPU01
cpuuser:50 cpusys:2.2 cpuwait:0 cpuidle:47.8
