And also add http://docs.cacti.net/plugin:spikekill plugin

I've uploaded a new version (host template and snmp queries) with most of the patches mentioned in the thread. In particular worth mentioning I've added a new set of RRA's, set 'C' that won't product rrd files as large as the 'B' set. You can use these or select your own when you import but I would...

I noticed another problem when I look at different predefined time period graphs. B 1 min AVERAGE, MAX from 0-2 months (1 min poll) - graph shows 24 hours B 5 min AVERAGE, MAX from 2-12 months (1 min poll) - graph shows less then 1 year. B 1 day AVERAGE, MAX from 3-20 years (1 min poll) 20 years? I ...

I think there's a bug in "F5 BigIP - Global - Traffic - Client" and "F5 BigIP - Global - Traffic - Server" graphs.
Numbers on the graph do not match numbers in the legend below the graph. See attached screenshot.

Great template.
Can we please get this template to on the official template site?
Also can you please update your zip file to include Soup's suggestion regarding IP address?
Also is it possible to extract pool members' "node name" and use that instead of IP?
Thank you.

is this what you are looking for? http://imgur.com/vmxGe.png

To which hosts are they associated? if i understand your question correctly, each of those graphs is associated to its own host. Which Graph Template did you choose? The following templates show identical graphs: "Linux - Memory Usage", "Unix - Available Disk Space", "Unix ...

Hello. I have this weird issue where i see the same graph on multiple independent hosts. Graphs for "Linux - Memory Usage" and "Unix - Logged in Users" are identical on all hosts. its as if they are graphing from the same data set Graph properties on one host are /usr/bin/rrdtool...

nationals, I'm curious if your script is installing rpmforge package, why not just also install cacti+friends rpms from there? why go source tgz route?
as of right now rpmforge has
cacti-0.8.7g-2.el5.rf
cacti-spine-0.8.7a-1.el5.rf
cacti-docs-0.8.7g-2.el5.rf

so can something be done in cacti to resolve this problem or to notify a user to correct this permission problem?
people might have such 'misconfiguration' and don't even realize it and think that cacti is slow.

Yea, something like an strace of an rrdtool pid would be beneficial. One correction for the new 'master' though. I don't believe that graphing uses a pipe as each graph request is a separate backend call. Since they are asynchronous, RRDtool is forked for each graph. We could possibly fix this with...

This should not change anything when using rrdtool <= 1.2.x On higher versions, I was under the assumption that fc caching happens automatically (as we always have an open pipe to rrdtool). R. Could it be a regression in 8.7g? I distinctly remember older versions being at least as fast as after i r...

I have same issue after i upgraded to Version 0.8.7g. and plus to that CPU on the Cacti server is up and response from system is slow. It is OK when i browse between tabs or Console sections, but if i go to see graphs it takes a wile, which was fast before upgrade. Seems like a bug pattern, but not...

I applied that change. I hope it helps. Mine always seemed slow displaying the web pages.

did you notice any improvements after you've done this?

For a while now i had a problem with my cacti generating graphs very slow, ~3-5sec per graph. It wasn't polling or reading but actually generating "pictures". so Googling around i found a tip that suggested regenerating fonts cache. So i ran this command on my Centos 5.4: sudo fc-cache -s ...
