hum ok. If I want to create a new graph witch 3 datas, how can I make this ? What's the procedure ???

For exemple, I want to create a graph for printer which display 3 element of his MIB.

The best way would be to create 3 data sources, and a graph template using these 3 data sources (or one graph per data source, and the Aggregate plugin from Reinhard).

hum.

I explain what I want :

I've one printer with IP adress 172.25.124.66 and I want to create one graph with 2 curves in.

These curves are the following :

The number of process contexts currently loaded or
running on this system (OID = .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.6.0)

The maximum number of process contexts this system
can support (OID = .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.7.0)

If I follow your way, I must to create 2 data sources, and a graph using these 2 data sources ?

Its will be able to work ???

Yes, create 2 data sources, and a graph template pointing to these 2 data sources.

ok. I created 2 data sources and a graph template.

How Can I associated my datas sources with my graph template ???

First you have to attach these 2 data sources to a host to get values

ha okey ! I did not know that it was obligatory.

But I don't know how can I associat its to my graph template !

Make a copy of the "SNMP - Generic OID" graph template, and add a second "element" (line, stack, you choose) to it.

ok but I don't find my 2 data sources on the list...

First create a graph template, and then add a graph to your device using that graph template.

You should really read this documentation : http://docs.cacti.net/node/503

Yes yes it's ok for that ! but my 2 data sources aren't associated with my new graph template !

When I edit my new graph template (it's a duplicate of "SNMP - Generic OID Template"), in the box "Graph Template Items ", I click "Add" and when I must choose a data source to use for this graph item, my two new data sources ("Processes Max allowed" and "Processes running or loaded") does't appear in the list...

ok I created my new graph with my 2 curves...

if I resume, for create a new graph for a host with n curve(s):

- create n data source(s) with SNMP - Generic OID Template for template
- duplicate a graph template (ex: SNMP - Generic OID Template)
- associate the n data source(s) to the new graph template
- then create a new graph for a host using your new graph template

it's true ?? because I don't have curve in my graph... It's possible that the OID has no value ???

Can you post a screenshot of your graph template ?

now that I've understand how create personnal graph, I making another. but I don't have data in ma graph.

IMO you have values on your graph, but 0

Are you graphing GAUGEs or COUNTERS ?
