PNP uses templates to influence the appearance of RRD graphs.

The selected check_command determines which template will be used to control the graph. Following will be described where templates are stored and how the decision for the “right” template is made.

If the graph for the service “http” on host “localhost” should be shown, PNP will look for the <acronym title="Extensible Markup Language">XML</acronym> file <code>perfdata/localhost/http.xml</code> and read its contents. The <acronym title="Extensible Markup Language">XML</acronym> files are created automatically and contain information about the particular host and service. The header contains information about the plugin and the performance data. The <acronym title="Extensible Markup Language">XML</acronym> tag <code><TEMPLATE></code> identifies which PNP template will be used for this graph.

PNP will append <code>.php</code> to the string and therefore look for a template with the name <code>check_http.php</code> in the following sequence:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol>
|

<li class="level1"><div class="li"> templates/check_http.php</div>

</ol>
|
||
|
|
|

<p>
|

The template default.php takes an exceptional position as it is used every time no other applicable template is found.

PNP templates are <acronym title="Hypertext Preprocessor">PHP</acronym> files which are included during execution of PNP using the <acronym title="Hypertext Preprocessor">PHP</acronym> function include(). This means that every <acronym title="Hypertext Preprocessor">PHP</acronym> code in templates will be interpreted so manipulation of all values is possible.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
|

PNP template must have the following characteristics:

These two arrays are used to call <code>'rrdtool graph</code>' so every option is possible that RRDtool supports. All options of RRDtool are described very thoroughly on the <a href="http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph.en.html" class="urlextern" title="http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph.en.html" rel="nofollow">RRDtool Homepage</a>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If both arrays contain more than one set of data graphs will be created for every set.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Inside the templates the data from the related <acronym title="Extensible Markup Language">XML</acronym> files can be used.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|

Using the relatively simple template response.php we will describe the most important options.
