The "logscale" option is not valid for rrdtool. From man rrdgraph: [-X│--units-exponent value] [...] This option is very effective at confusing the heck out of the default rrdtool autoscaler and grid painter. If rrdtool detects that it is not successful in labeling the graph under the giv...

Here's the graph.


Options used to have this on MRTG are:

You're very kind. RRDTool Command: /usr/bin/rrdtool graph - \ --imgformat=PNG \ --start=-86400 \ --end=-300 \ --title="toutatis - Traffic - eth0" \ --rigid \ --base=1000 \ --height=120 \ --width=500 \ --alt-autoscale-max \ --lower-limit=1000 \ --logarithmic \ --vertical-label="bits pe...

Alright... so once again this is a rrdtool issue. Post on their mailing list. I will, but maybe this could be automatically managed in the futur versions of Cacti: displaying human readable Y values when switching from linear to semi-log scale. As far as Cacti have a semi-log option, we shouldn't h...

Instead of having the values displayed in exponential form (1e+07), i'd like to have them in kb/Mb, units. Same as MRTG when you do some semi-log graphs.

The Y axis values.

Yes, i know, this post was opened more than two years ago, but i also use semi-log scale for my network graphs and more human readable values would be nice...

Any idea?

All the best,

Is it possible to keep graphing previous value when it is unknown (like MRTG)? I know this is unsafe because it draws flat graphs even when the source is unreachable but i don't like gaps on my graphs :)
