Thanks,

You can configure every data item individually or after you've setup one you can copy its settings to the others. A configuration like "from:Wednesday to: Tuesday" will be supported.
Unfortunately you can not setup up a general setting per report configuration, which configures new added data items automatically to the standards you would like to have for it.

When I check all the reports i would like to re-run under report configurations, it completes running, but only presents the first report. The rest of the reports are not populated. Is this a bug, or do I manually run each and every report.

No, it isn't a bug. ReportIt will only run the first one and it has not changed scince v0.1. As I wrote this I had a bad feeling with the high CPU utilization ReportIt produces with great reports (more than 2000 data objects).
I plan to change it in v0.7 in conjunction with an Ajax based progress bar.
The upcoming v0.6 (hopefully released after Easter) won't support that feature.

using report-it to generate reports on the total traffic

Post by thomasw »

hello,

can someone please advice how to report the total Traffic usage using the reportit plugin version 0.51?

In my graph-template I use the "sum:auto:current:2:auto" as a comment and it displays values like 37,43GB.

I played around with the f_sum measureand, but I cannot get the same values as the values reported on the graphs.
If I use f_sum*8*1024 I get a very near result but the difference between report and graph is too big.

Has anyone figured out how to get the total amount of traffic in a given timespan using report-it plugin?

I`m using cacti 0.8.7b, plugin-arch 2.0 and report-it 0.51.

thanks in advance,

tom

ps: if you need more information please let me know!

Hi Thomas!
Therefore you have know what "sum:auto:current:2:auto" really does.
Try "f_num*step*f_avg" and use decimal SI-Prefixes (Base 1000). This should return the same in bytes.

Hello,

thank you very much for your very quick and perfect support!
using the f_sum * steps is giving me the right results!

BTW: your name brought some reminds to me: have you ever worked for a company in aachen, located in the pascalstr which calls herself "the management company"?

best regards,

tom

No! 15 years ago I was searching for an individual email address and all my schoolfellow called me "brownie" in relation to my last name. So I connected them to "browniebraun". That's all.
And I'm working for one of the largest automobile manufacturer. :wink:

A few datasources in one report template - is it possible?

Post by capibar »

Hi,

Is it possible to make one Report template with few data sources?

This is useful in case you have a few similar Data templates but with the
only difference between them - OID.

For example, CPU data templates for different devices with the only
difference - OID ending


Thanks :roll:

I installed the plugin. But plugin and presentaiton are different i think.
First, when I try to create new template, two sub-choices are shown Create anew variable and create a new measurand.
There is three field to fill max and min values and default value (what are they?) Another one is Stepping (what is it?)
Lets go to create a new measurand. Some fields here. Calculation formula, unit, etc. (I have no idea. Becouse I am newbie about this plugin)
Anyway i achieve to create template for just test and seeing how is this plugin. Go to report config. and select add (Test selected)
I click to next button. Report config shoes some field again: Name and etc. But there is a strange raw here called subhead. but thereis no checkbox or field after subhead.
I dont know. Somethnig strange but what are they :)
Can anybody hep me about that?
P.S: There is no sql file in plugin tar files. is it missing ot this is normal?

Thank you for opening a feature request under sourceforge.net. That makes it easier for me to keep it in mind.
I'll check your request for 0.7.0.

Your feature request is the last major task that has to be done before v0.6.0 will be released. At the moment I'm closing some of the other construction zones and Reinhard will start with that implementation soon.
