Cacti

Hi Folks, I need some help resetting the admin's rights. I'm not sure how it happened, but logging in as adming for me now only gets me: You are not permitted to access this section of Cacti. If you feel that you need access to this particular section, please contact the Cacti administrator. Any hel...

will do...

thanks a ton!

Reinhard, Thanks as always for the assistance. What I'm aiming for is a year worth of 5 minute resolution data. As for graphs, I'm not too picky. I guess day, week, month, and year would be good. I have three different data source types: a "standard" traffic-in/traffic-out from a Cisco Rou...

I guess I find this odd: rra[0].pdp_per_row = 115200 But maybe I'm wrong?? My goal would be to have Cacti create the "proper" RRAs for these files automatically. Barring that I'd prefer to not have to switch to the "old" non ZLVM RRAs in the data template each time I want to add ...

Thanks - I'll try that as well. On another note - as you know I've changed the RRA description for certain data templates to yours. I'm curious how I can now create new graphs. I've tried temporarily removing all the RRAs except the yearly one, but this doesn't seem to have the desired effect. I win...

Not sure what graph I can post?

Its failing to generate the graph at all.

?

TIA

As a follow-up, I've switched to the "ZLVM" RRAs in Data Templates for a number of graphs. I've also resized virtually all of my RRDs except for CPU and other metrics where long term high resolution isn't needed. However, all my "yearly" graphs are failing. I get this error in th...

I'm a bit confused by your response...

Is it "ok" to change the default template definitions, or even the default RRA definitions?

Or do you recommend against that.

I'm certainly open to a patch so that I don't have to delete/add the 0 length RRAs before creating new data sources

Ok - I suppose it isn't really affecting anything, as in Cacti is eing smart enough not to use the consolidated RRAs for the week, month, year graphs after applying the new ZLVM data source templates? Is there any reason to not apply these templates to the default templates, etc? I have several hund...

So can I just resize the other RRAs to 0?

Now this maybe a silly question... But does it make sense to remove the other RRAs? Is it even possible? It seems it makes sense to do this. I have a number of charts that combine multiple RRDs and right now I'm getting 8 graphs for some reason. I guess it maybe because the RRAs don't match on the o...

ooops.... thanks.

I looked at the code too and didn't see how or why it would care, but I didn't trace it back to where the function in graph_variables.php was called from.

I can share the RRD if it helps, but I'm 99% sure this was the issue.
