[nv-l] xnmgraph question

["Westphal, Raymond W" <Raymond.W.Westphal@erac.com>]

Hello Everyone.

 

NetView 7.1.3 on AIX 5.2

 

I wrote a little script to capture the output from a netstat command and output to a file in the format xnmgraph would like. The graph works fine but I cannot simply select Update Data from the menu. In order to update the data - I have to rerun the xnmgraph script. Here are the scripts and output:

 

Thanks in advance.

The script that collects the data:

#!/bin/ksh

#

while true
do
d=`date +%T`
y=`date +%m`.`date +%d`.`date +%y`-
today=`date +"%b %d"`
tot=`/usr/bin/netstat -p ip | awk '/total packets received/ {print $1}'` 
drop=`/usr/bin/netstat -p ip | awk '/packets dropped due to the full socket/ {print $1}'`
echo "scale=5;$drop / $tot * 100" | bc | read test
sleep 10
echo "2 0 $y$d $test" >> /tmp/time
done

 

The output:

2 0 09.15.03-07:58:03 18.37500
2 0 09.15.03-07:58:13 18.37100
2 0 09.15.03-07:58:23 18.36300
2 0 09.15.03-07:58:33 18.36000
2 0 09.15.03-07:58:43 18.35900

 

The xnmgraph script:

#!/bin/ksh
#
day=`date +%m/%d`
exec /usr/OV/bin/xnmgraph < /tmp/time \
   -title "Percent - $day" \
   -lineWidth 1 \
   -units "Percent" \
   -mib "+2:Percent:::::::"
   -displayWidth 4d
