Cacti

So I've been very curious to see if the way my cacti server's load average shows up is on a normal level. So I'm hoping to see some people's Yearly graph for their server's Load Average. I'm getting around a 3, 4, 5 for my load avg. on the 1, 5, 15 minute averages. Is this a normal range? Or too hig...

Well even if the device doesn't support 64 bit counter, if you choose 64 bit counter it'll still record the non64bit, correctly, right? So for example, if the template is recording 16bit data, my theory says that the max value of the data would be 65536, which you could not put a 32 or 64bit large n...

Sorry, let me restate that. More and more devices are using gigabit interfaces, why not make the default template use 64 bit counters? since non-64 bit data, wouldn't be affected if it's stored in a 64 bit counter? Is that correct or is it that I don't know what I'm talking about? ;-) Also, would 10...

Well, no need to beat yourself up about it. ;-) I guess the database isn't storing 64bits of data unless you choose it. Could that be an update to basically force the database to record 64bit data by default, since it shouldn't affect anything, except database size? (as more and more devices are usi...

Ok, :) but that doesn't answer my question, the realistic, or "correct" way to do it is to use 64 bit counters. And there is no way to convert? As I've already deleted some of my "incorrect" graphs, with collected datas. Also I'm not seeing the 64bit counters working on SNMP enab...

so using v1 you don't see real (gigabit) traffic? when you switch to v2 you should see up to gigabit traffic? Do I need to switch the graphs over to 64bit counters? How can I do that without losing all the graph information, or can I? Gandolf if you can answer this asap, I'd appreciate, we're doing ...

After adding the proper values back into those settings. I had stumbled around for a bit, to discover the "re-apply suggested names" to finalize the repair. The re-applied the names back to the graphs, that I though was caused by resizing. Unbeknown to me, I must've really gone around chan...

Graph caching may be what is needed to get my needs met, not that it is a big issue. But it just seems funny to me that rrdtool seem pretty slow within graph generation... everything else in cacti seems fast, if configured correctly. I know this virtual server box can isn't hitting it's potential, a...

Thanks alot. :-D Just like most things with linux, they must've ran away from me. I think I was trying to change something with the scaling because it didn't appear to be showing the correct bit rate for network interfaces... and either it got corrupted, or I deleted them intentionally, thinking it'...

Thanks BSOD, the suggested values aren't there, yeah all gone.
Hence why I was hoping someone could provide the default, or maybe provide me the list of suggested values, as I'm not sure what they should be.

Other than doing a new installation of Cacti, and pulling the default templates from that, does anyone have the default templates? I think I'm looking for the Data template for Interfaces - Traffic, because with newly recreated graphs the Interface name does not appear anymore. Where it used to show...

I already did, and I didn't see much that was relevant to my problem, but it did give me some insight. Though after changing the cron setting, and the poller setting to the same, it appears that cacti is running at about 1/10th the load average. I hope this keeps running as smooth as it is. ;-) than...

After reading somewhat useless (more irrelevant) posts, I started to do some digging. I hate doing the digging if I don't know what I'm looking for. I checked the cron job, and remembered what a friend had said, that 1 was too short, and I should change it back to 5. I did so. I also looked around t...

So here's my issue, every other day the graphs just start missing data. It used to be a once in a while thing on random graphs. But now it's on everything, like the server is clogging up with poller requests. It just started getting this bad. It just seems like every day something new is going wrong...

No, that's just a printed image. I'm trying out an image printer software... don't ask. ;-) I apologize for being slow, but are there any specific instructions for doing that? I had a heck of a time trying to setup the webserver and mysql in the first place, that I don't remember how i did it. I hat...
