How to use a data input method input field on a graph title?

[patrioticduo]

I have developed a bash script that polls Cisco routers using net-snmp to capture the status of async lines and tx and rx bytes through that line.

The script named line.sh takes <hostname> <line number> <snmp community> as command line arguments.

The script returns output as follows:

TxBytes:9630 RxBytes:668 LineStatus:1

I have successfully created a scripted data input source.

The input data source takes three input fields: "hostname", "line" and "community".
The input data source has three output fields: LineStatus:TxBytes and RxBytes.

A Data Template and Graph Template were created that provide graphs of the Cisco line status 0=down, 1=up and Tx and Rx last and average statistics. All of this works just fine. The script works, the data input method works and the templates and graphs produce the required results.

But with one annoying exception. When a new host is created with the line monitoring graph, the user is asked for a line number that corresponds with the Cisco line number (0=console, 65=aux port, etc).

However, the graph title does not show the line number that was entered by the user. Is there a way to have the data input method input field (that is entered by the user at creation) named "line" used as part of the title in the graph itself?

Thanks to anyone that can provide some help on this.

This feature is not (yet) supported by cacti

So is there any sort of a work around to this? I have a similar problem where I am graphing based on a user supplied input and need to have whatever argument is being passed to be displayed in the title. Without this, I have no way to differentiate between the graphs.

I figured this out myself. I forgot about the "Use Per-Graph Value" setting for the graph title in the graph template. Not as nice as having it automatically filled in based on the argument I'm passing to the script but I was able to achieve the results I was looking for.

Are there plans to implement this feature?

This has already been requested. So it's kind of "on the list". But not with a certain priority or roadmap. If you are able to provide a patch, this will certainly speed up the process
