Metrics file not being applied

[XJack (Martens)]

Hi,

after working successfully for some time with metrics and graphs I setup a new checkmk raw edition instance and configured some metrics again. But the corresponding graph is not generated.

This is my defined graph:

#!/omd/sites/megabert/bin/python3
# -*- encoding: utf-8; py-indent-offset: 4 -*-

graph_info.append({
    "title" : _("Stability of Internet Connection"),
        "metrics" : [
            ( "quality", "area")
        ]
})

metric_info["quality"] = {
    "title": "successful connections",
    "unit": "%",
    "color": "#00ff00"
}

This is the local check sample output for which the graph is being created:

<<<<myhostname.domain.tld>>>>
<<<local>>>
P internetconnection quality=100

Questions

• Anything wrong at first sight?
• How can I debug the problem? ($checkmk_instance_home/var/log/web.log shows nothing of relevance)

Edit-1

I renamed the peformance-data-value “quality” to “connection_quality” in order to avoid a possible collision with another value of the same name. No effect.

Edit-2

I of course cleared the browser after applying the file. No effect.
I also executed cmk -R to restart the instance. No effect.

After I stopped the site completely and started it again, now it works.

Edit-3

I finally read here in the forum, that the needed command for applying the metrics is “omd restart apache”.
