cacti-user Mailing List for Cacti

I have three data points (call them A, B, and C) of which I would like to
make a graph with two lines.  The values are numerical, but I want to graph
percentages.  The line graphs would be the following values:
1. A/(A+B+C)
2. B/(A+B+C)
 
The problem is that the first two values are so small they barely show up,
so I really don't want to graph the C percentage [C/(A+B+C)] so that the
remaining two values can scale properly, but it's my understanding that it
still needs to be part of the template.  When I change the C variable to
Graph Item Type to Comment or GPRINT the graphs don't generate properly.
Any ideas how I can accomplish what I'm looking to do?
 
See http://www.mtcnet.net/~fbulk/graph.bmp and
http://www.mtcnet.net/~fbulk/graph_template.bmp to see the graph and
template settings.
 
Regards,
 
Frank

Slackware 10.2 + Cacti 0.8.6h

Hello,

I am using cacti 0.6h with the thold module. The problem I am facing is 
with the
threshold values that I have setup in thold.
I found that graphs for resources like hard disk space
show "bytes" on the Y axis, but if I convert the value in GB it doesnt 
match with
the actual value on the server. I am taking the "current" value shown in 
the threshold section.
If I convert the value assuming it to be in KB then I get the correct 
value in GB.
The above happens for Linux hosts.

The same setup works fine for Unix based hosts. The value in threshold 
section is actually in bytes.

Is this something wrong in the way I have setup snmp ?

I have installed Cacti and I added some graphs to the Tree View  
however I am just seeing
a box with a question mark and it doesn't populate any graphs.  
However If I go under
Graph Management and click on a Graph i am able to see some graphs! I  
cannot figure
out what I am doing wrong it use to show but no longer does. Any help  
would be appreciated.

I am running the latest Cacti and using PHP 4.3.9 from RHEL 4.4.

I think the only way to do this is to do an rrdtool dump of the
original rrd file and then restore it to the new file once it gets
created.  I dont have exact instructions but you can find them on

Hi,


Is there a good solution to merge two (old and new) rrd file to a new  
one?

To understand my problem.
If one of my customer is moving to another router and also to a  
different interface I must recreate the graph on the new device to see  
its traffic.
I`d like to see the old in/out traffic values in the new graph.


Thx: Sini

FreeNAC provides easy to use VLAN assignment and LAN access control for =
Cisco Switches and all kind of network devices (Servers, Workstations, =
Printers, IP-Phones, Webcams...).

FreeNAC can be considered as having two phases.

Initially, we have taken OpenVMPS (which provides MAC based access =
control), added a MySQL back end, a GUI, improved access control =
algorithms, scalability, redundancy, alerting etc. This tool has been =
published as OpenSource on FreeNAC.net.

Next, we are testing 802.1x support by tying in FreeRadius (802.1x =
provides better security and is not limited to Cisco switches) and =
moving the Delphi GUI to a web based user interface.

The 'plan' is for the project to move forward to eventually become THE =
OpenSource Enterprise tool for dynamic VLAN assignment and LAN/WLAN =
authentication.

So, we wish to solicite community opinions, expertise, help and =
feedback. Are you interested in this tool, would you like to use it or =
even like to contribute to it (documentation, support, development, =
promotion, architecture, review...)?

Please visit us on www.FreeNAC.net!

Hi,

Use the command "rrdtool dump file.rdd > file.xml" and convert the data  
in xml file as you wish.
OR
Use the rrdtool fetch command.
For instance to get the last 1 hour data in/out  values try this:

"rrdtool fetch file.rrd AVERAGE -r 900 -s -1h"

(1st column is timestamp)

Hi,

There is command line php script called "poller_reindex_hosts.php" in  
cacti base dir. Use this with a cron job.

There is a command that extract the data in the rrd files and give it as an 
output(this command is included in rrdtool, I can not remember wich). But 
check rrdtool in order to understand it, is interesting.

Hi,
We're supporting Cacti on a number of projects, some of them with 1000's
of interfaces to collect data from.
We have a hacked up, sort of working, likely ugly, shell script for
automated configuration based on discovery results.  We can get hosts
created with one metric.  It basically does:

mysqladmin drop cacti
mysqladmin create cacti
mysql cacti < cacti.sql
(run through the web interface initialization steps - what you might do
is do that then take a sqldump and replay IT to get your baseline)
./create_hosts.sh <x> > hosts.sql (where x is the number of hosts to add
with one graph each (Cisco CPU via SNMP))
mysql cacti < hosts.sql

Is there a good / approved way to do programmatic configuration of Cacti?
We're happy to contribute what we did.
What course should we take if there is a better one?
Thanks in advance for any comments and / or help,
Regards,

Hi,
Probably you are getting an error in the SNMP query result. When you have 
data and no graph this seems to be the reason always.
The data of snmp querys is save in rrd files. Check in the web waht rrd-tool 
is and learn about it.

As far as Nagios goes, I am migrating to Fruity (http://fruity.sf.net)
for management.  Requires Nagios 2.X.  It is in RC1 the last time I
checked and is very powerful.  Once you set up templates, you can add
Hosts with Services in about 4 clicks and typing in a hostname.

I'm trying to use Cacti to monitor a HP 6108 layer 3 switch and I keep
getting a SNMP error.  Has anyone got this working?

The Companys initial efforts will be concentrated on identifying oil and gas properties located in the United States. Management will be studying information on properties located in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. It is the Companys intention to employ a low-risk acquisition strategy in order to select the initial acquisition or joint venture targets. Once the company has acquired an interest in a core group of properties, a financial assessment will be conducted to determine the appropriate level of risk tolerance. Management focus will be on selecting the initial targets to establish a base within the energy sector.
