Cacti

Can someone recommend a good graph template for load average? The one that comes with Cacti doesn't make much sense:



What exactly does it mean to stack the 1, 5, and 15 minute load averages, anyway? They're not three different things, to be summed.

That one's easy enough to fix. If you know how to install Perl modules, install Weather::Underground. If not, just install this one locally. Get this file: http://search.cpan.org/src/MNAGUIB/Weather-Underground-2.20/Underground.pm Create a directory 'Weather' in the scripts directory. Put the 'Under...

'c' also here, and that's the order I did it in.

I presume then that other people have imported them successfully?

When I try to import your XML it says there's a parse error ...

I feel like this topic has diverged from the original poster's question - which is the same question I have. I have a new instance of Cacti running on a single machine. I'd like to graph traffic on that machine's eth0. If possible, I'd like to do this without the overhead of snmpd -- surely this is ...

The error I reported still stands, however.

If I make any change to a template, all the graphs that inherit from that template break, and I end up with an error like:

ERROR: can't parse '#8D00BA:'

If you have a GPRINT as the first graph item, you get:

Notice: Undefined variable: last_graph_type in /path/to/cacti/include/rrd_functions.php on line 811

It would be really nice if there existed a more robust ping tool than the included one. I'd like to use Cacti for all my monitoring, but Smokeping just provides FAR more useful data... Does anyone know where the "ping times extended" ( as seen on http://cacti.dassic.com/graph_view.php?acti...

It turns out Cacti does not work under Apple's Safari browser. Switching to IE solved the problem.

I am trying to get cacti 0.8.3a up and running. I want to add what I think is a pretty simple graph -- ping latency to a remote host. I added a "polling host", using no host template ("none"). That seemed to work. Under "create graphs + data sources" i added "unix ...
