Cacti

Alexandru fixed it above by fixing the query, but upgrading to the latest version fixed it also. Thanks.

some more info. The .rrd files seem to be updated, everything looks normal. The issue is I just can't see the graphs! For billing purposes this is very critical for us. Under Graph Management or Data Sources I see "Showing Rows 1 to 30 of 591" but then no Graphs or Data Sources found. Stra...

Forgot to mention also that the log/cacti.log file shows no errors.

When I click on Console -> Templates -> Data Templates, I get a full list of templates, so I'm not sure my problem is the same as that guy's. I ran that query you posted in the other thread and it seems to just list the same data templates in the Data Templates webpage.

All of our .rrd files are in the rra directory and when you click on "Data Sources" under Management of the Console, you get "Showing Rows 1 to 30 of 592 [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20...]" and then "No Data Sources." So it knows there are data sour...

no, that was the problem. I simply had the wrong .rrd file. A little odd that 169 is mentioned in the url, but it really is using 172. I did the xml export of the 172 rrd and the values finally make sense!

Thanks Reinhard for all your help.

Reinhard, you've been extremely helpful. i think I see the problem now. I thought I was supposed to look in the rrd file ending in 169 because the url is: http://manager.acceleratebiz.com/traffic/graph.php?action=properties&local_graph_id=169&rra_id=0&view_type=&graph_start=113341320...

hmm.. so I understand it's bytes/sec. The thing is the values just don't make sense. For example, the values for traffic_in would suggest 12mbps maximum usage for all 3 days of 12/1/05 - 12/3/05. But the GRAPH shows that usage barely went below 20mbps at all during those days. The spikes don't even ...

normalized to a second? so you mean if, for example, the interval is 300.2 seconds and I transferred 300.2 bytes during that time... then cacti would normalize it to 300 bytes instead of 300.2? Doesn't seem like I really need to worry about that much. Or am I not understanding "normalized to a ...

Thanks Reinhard, that's what I was looking for. It is a counter as the beginning of the xml dump is: <rrd> <ds> <name> traffic_in </name> <type> COUNTER </type> same for traffic_out. Ok, so the <v> elements are simply the number of bytes that flowed through the interface during the time interval bet...

Hi Reinhard, thanks so much for the help. I really just need something very simple. I'm very familiar with snmp and the various interface counters. All I need to know is what the <v> elements in the rrd xml dumps represent. These are .rrd files cacti generates for a switch interface for bps traffic ...

Hi Reinhard, why would you be offending me? I'll try out the debug logs. Those values are from the AVERAGE cf. I understand the basic principles of how rrdtool works. The only thing I don't understand are the raw values. What is the bandwidth value those raw values correspond to in the .rrd files? D...

It's not cacti that stores the data in the RRD database? How does cacti graph these numbers?

I'll also try looking at rrdtool.org, thanks.

I'm needing to calculate my 95 percentile by hand for now (discussed in another thread). So I did an xml export of a particular RRD file, but just need clarification on what the values are. In the xml: <rrd> <rra> <database> <!-- 2005-12-05 11:00:00 EST / 1133798400 --> <row> <v> 7.2373984163e+06 </...

Hi guys, thanks for the help so far. I'm just needing to calculate this by hand for now :(. So I did an xml export, but just need clarification on what the values are. In the xml: <rrd> <rra> <database> <!-- 2005-12-05 11:00:00 EST / 1133798400 --> <row> <v> 7.2373984163e+06 </v> <v> 1.3080255702e+0...
