I'm having a similar problem with my Cacti graphs. When I go to "Management > Data Sources" I can see that snmp is getting the description on the port:

"svt-sw5 - Traffic - Fa0/18 - Constantin 1"

However then right after I go to "Management > Graph Management" and then I locate my switch then highlight all the ports and select "Reapply Suggested Names" The port descriptions on my switch are not being added to the graph.

I have a solution.

With the green circle, I can refresh the index of the

I believe that it is due to the fact that the graph title is produced by the graph template. The graph template can use different versions of tittle (coming from Dataqueries -> SNMP - Interface Statistics -> In-out... -> Associated Graph/Data Templates [edit: SNMP - Interface Statistics])

I have change the order. I have put
title |host_description| - Traffic - |query_ifName| - |query_ifAlias| in first position

And then, I go to Graph Management -> Reapply suggested names

There is no ./cli
Lenny is the testing version of debian. Sorry for this short-cut.

That's bad. In this case, the debian package is either incomplete or puts the scripts into some other directory. If possible, use tar.gz from cacti web site or use SVN.

I will see that with the package maintainer.

I took a look at the deb package ( ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c ... -2_all.deb ), and the cli scripts are not there.

Indeed. I have open a bug. I hope I have open a bug.

Ok, I have open two bugs. . I believed my smtp server was misconfigured.

I solve that with a simple reapply of the graph template (simply press the save button into graph template) in my case the SNMP interface template.

As I just stumbled across this question as well, I thought I'd share this (so my post is just a reference).

Running this command (inside the ./cli directory) did the magic for me (Version 0.8.7g)

Code: Select all

php -q poller_graphs_reapply_names.php -id=All

So something like this would be good as a cronjob.

I remember that in earlier versions of Cacti it was sufficient to just hit the "Verbose" link inside the device view. This stopped working with some version.

When things stop working, it generally means that one of two settings need to be changed for Apache's PHP settings:

max_execution_time
memory_limit

PHP has been consuming more memory for common things as it has matured. I'm certain that this is not generally an issue, but from time to time, things need to be tuned.
