Cacti

I figured it out. I had to rename the directory extracted from the aggregate tar to "aggregate". It has a version identifier in the name which apparently was messing things up.

I am running into the no plugins found problem. I set up a new machine with CentOS 6.3 x86_64. I installed apache and mysql as well as enabled the RPMForge repository. I then installed cacti using yum. It installed cacti 0.8.8a on the machine. There was no plugin directory, so I created one using th...

Hello: I am using Cacti to graph traffic on virtual interfaces. Unfortunately, it seems Cacti is creating multiple interfaces for my guest machine which seems to be related to them getting a new MAC address every time they shutdown and restart. When the inteface moves to a new MAC address, my graphs...

Thanks for the response. I saw another problem: ReportIt does not know about aggregate graphs created using the aggregate plugin. I think maybe we need a separate plugin that allows us to attach scheduled emailing to specific recipients to a graph. ReportIt seems to start from the data sources, not ...

I dont see how to email reports using reportit.
I looked at the doc and it does not address that.

Also, I want to send specific graphs to me and other graphs to clients.
Does it allow that level of configuration?

Thanks,
Neil

I will try that. Thanks!

Hello: I did a search for this and found a couple of threads, but I can't find the plugins they refer to. Is there a way to send a graph on a schedule? I am looking for something that allows me to send daily, weekly, and monthly emails to myself and my clients with their overall bandwidth graphs. Th...

I will accept any improvement to the documentation. Simply drop me your text. The confusion I ran into was using the term data source. In the data sources management screen, each port on my switch is listed once. But, the total similar data sources aggregated the inbound traffic and outbound traffi...

I think I found a bug in aggregate.

The 95th percentile line for the total was generated using this value:
|95:bits:0:max:2|

So it only used the largest single data point from the individual sets.

It should be:
|95:bits:0:aggregate_max:2|

so it uses the largest aggregated value.

I think I figured something out: I needed to total similar data sources and not all data sources. The manual text is a bit cryptic so I was not understanding the difference. Now, the inbound and outbound totals look like they are calculating correctly. But, the 95th percentile is still the same as t...

For some reason, when I create an aggregate graph, the numbers are not looking like they add up. Take a look at the attached graph. The Inbound Max and Outbound Max are the same number. That should not be the case. Also, the 95th percentile for the total traffic in+out is 0.85 mbit, but the total li...
