Generating Graphs with gnuplot, Part 2

linux-howto

http://linux.com – In Part 1 of this series on Gnuplot, there was a lot of talk about line colors, font settings, export scripts, and the like, but no actual graphs. Input from graphs can be read from the command line or, more commonly from external files. (Software)

Stories similar to Generating Graphs with gnuplot, Part 2

In this final part of this three-part series, I'll start out using SQLite as the relational database and graph data from there before moving on to using PostgreSQL and pivot tables to transform relational data into column format for gnuplot.

If you tell gnuplot to plot those numbers as simple lines they'll continuously overlap, making hard to see quickly which is higher in each moment, or how they all add up. I find that stacked filled graphs like the one here are much easier to understand, but I couldn't find how to do them with Gnuplot. Until now that is.

using ksar from command line 30 weeks 4 days ago

I am working on creating system monitoring graphs from sar outputs. Ksar seems to be a nice gui tool, with some command line support. My goal is to create pdf/png charts from a script using ksar command line.

The released version has some minor bugs where I got some exceptions. Fortunately the beta 5.1.0_beta4 does not have the bugs and produces nice graphs from GUI.

I've been using Conky a long time, and one thing I just can't seem to get looking nice is the network graph.

The graphs start on the right hand side, and scroll to the left. I want the starting point for the graphs to match up. You can see that the Down graph starts a little more to the right than the Up graph. They are the same legnth they just don't line up.

I'm running Apache2 and Munin on Ubuntu 12.04. All of my Munin graphs are showing up fine (cpu, memory, etc.), except for the Apache graphs.

The Apache graphs were working at one point, which you can see from this screenshot showing data from a few months ago: http://i.imgur.com/uk3aAnJ.png.

Hi,I installed munin from epel.It show me hundreds of graphs of annoying statistics.I would like to show only one page with some graphs only:CPU, IO, Traffic, Memory U... [by sblantipodi]

Hi I am plotting a series of CDFs using gnuplot using

Code: plot "data" u 1:(1./x.) smooth cumulative I am doing this over many files and I need to tune the x value to the number of lines that meets a particular condition.

Is it possible to get the line count from shell using

Code: cat file | grep CONDITION | wc -l and pass it on to gnuplot by any means?

Thanks a l

I use gnuplot to print some ascii files. In the same plot I use data from different files. I skip the first and second line using every ::3.

Can I use the first two rows as key titles?

Access Munin outside WHM 24 weeks 2 days ago

I have installed Munin from WHM and added a couple of servers to it and the graphs are generating. However, I need to access the Munin graphs directly i.e. without logging to WHM.. may be from a sub directory of a domain OR from the default directory of the cPanel server.. Is it possible and how?
