Re: Cacti variables: |variable_name| list?

There are a lot of samples in the documentation here: http://docs.cacti.net/manual:088:6_reference.variables#variables You can also do |input_abc| to re-use information from a new data input method. I did a Google search for 'cacti variables' and it was at the top. Maybe my results are skewed becaus...

Re: Data Queries / Script Data / not being polled

I was about to write a me-too for this post, and then I followed suggestions of re-reading the manual. :) My first missing step was not checking the box on the data template for Index Type, Index Value, and Output Type ID.

Now, if I have everything set to 1 minute,...
