Use of uninitialized value $name in substitution (s///) at pmp-cacti-template...

I would like to use your template creation scripts to make some new graphs for cacti but I am struggling with the instructions on the web.

If I take your example from the web site as it is it complains that both the script and the meta data require a version. So after some investigation I have added the version as shown below. (it’s also been rehashed)

cat eg2.def

{ name => ‘Disk Sectors Read/Written’,
base_value => ‘1024’,

},

},

Now when I feed that into pmp-cacti-template like this:

~/percona-monitoring-plugins-1.1.5/cacti/bin/pmp-cacti-template --script ~/check_ss_get_by_ssh/ss_get_by_ssh.php eg2.def
(By way of explanation of the directory structure I have added some extra stuff to ss_get_by_ssh for nagios & for swap used which is what I really want to graph, and that’s all working fine)

I Get the following:

Percona Disk Sectors Read/Written HT Percona Disk Sectors Read/Written Version t1.1.5:s1.1.5 t1.1.5:s1.1.5 Use of uninitialized value $name in substitution (s///) at /home/alan/percona-monitoring-plugins-1.1.5/cacti/bin/pmp-cacti-template line 759.

For me line 750 is the one with $name in it below:

sub es { # Element start
my ( $name ) = @_;
$name =~ s/VER/$ver/g;
print((“\t” x $indent++), “<$name>\n”);
push stack, $name;
}

My copy of pmp-cacti-template has a few variations that may cause the l line numbers to no longer match the original, principally to find out which of meta data or script the version could not be found in.

Any advice or perhaps a working example would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Alan
