Would you or your company pay someone to create more graph templates?

I followed the steps in the initial instructions, but can only manage to get "Bytes Read/Written" to work. I'm running on a FreeBSD 6.2 machine and I can successfully manage top pull the information with snmptable and snmpwalk
I did the same and only graph "Bytes Read/Written" is working. I don't see any errors in logs. Has somebody solution? I realy need this disk information.

I've changed the Graph Template 'Device I/O - Load Averages'
Go to:[b]Graph Templates[/b] ->[b] ucd/net - Device I/O - Load Averages[/b] and cnag following 'CF Type' to AVERAGE:

AREA -> from LAST to AVERAGE
STACK -> from LAST to AVERAGE
STACK -> from LAST to AVERAGE
And it worked.

About the last template - 'Device I/O - Reads/Writes':
I've changed every 'CF Types' that was LAST to AVERAGE and it works.

I've also got the Graph Template 'ucd/net - Device I/O - ALL', which after changing all 'CF Type's from LAST to AVERAGE worked.

Are the graphs accurate after this changes?

You are right. Problem is if CF = Last. I recreated charts. Now they work. Thx.

Hello,

it seems I have the same problem like some others.

THe Reads/Writes graphs are not drawn.
I read this post, but couldnt find where something is wrong,
the snmpwalks on this post work all fine. Also all the other graphs in this script.
Can someone help to debug this?

Code: Select all

Hello,

I noticed the same behavior as other users: only Bytes Read/Written are displayed....and the same kind of errors:
ERROR: the RRD does not contain an RRA matching the chosen CF


Any help would be appreciated.

For others who might need assistance this is the way i added it:

Management -> Devices -> <Machine> -> Associated Data Queries -> ucd/net - Device I/O -> *ADD*
I do not see "ucd/net - Device I/O" there. I see Karlnet, two Netware, two SNMP, and a Unix. I did import the XML files, but I never saw any definitive message about if that was successful or not. How would I find out? They do show up under Export Templates.

Here's a new approach (but only for Bytes/Transactions) featuring Peak Usage and some nice optical layout: http://docs.cacti.net/usertemplate:grap ... disk_usage

I move diskio.xml for the resources/snmp_queries.

When I then import the transaction xml I get.

CDEF
[success] Make Stack Negative [update]

GPRINT Preset
[success] Normal [update]

Data Input Method
[success] Get SNMP Data (Indexed) [update]

Data Template
[success] Host MIB - Disk IO Transactions [update]

Graph Template
[success] Host MIB - Disk IO - Transactions per Second [update]
+ Found Dependency: (Data Template Item) disk_read_trans
+ Found Dependency: (GPRINT Preset) Normal
+ Unmet Dependency: (Data Template Item)
+ Found Dependency: (CDEF) Make Stack Negative
+ Unmet Dependency: (Data Template Item)
+ Unmet Dependency: (Data Template Item)
+ Unmet Dependency: (Data Template Item)
+ Unmet Dependency: (Data Template Item)

Any advice?

You installed over an existing DISK IO template set?
That's bad. I did not try that. Will require some thinking ...

I thought I had everything cleaned out. I guess not. It would be nice if there was a way to clean out an import. I will try to get all the old disk io stuff out and see if I can get it to work this time.

For those who will come here later and seek help: I put my experience in the following small "mini-howto"

http://www.goldfisch.at/knowwiki/howtos/cacti#disk_io
I found that page and got a little farther.

When I imported cacti_data_query_ucdnet_device_io.xml my "Associated Data Queries" section was empty, and there was a link to run it in debug mode. That resulted in an error about .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.1 (an snmpwalk of that tree doesn't turn anything up, I need to back out to .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021 to see things). Now, that I/O template has disappeared and re-importing it doesn't make it appear. So, I guess I need help making that .9 branch appear (FWIW, .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.15.1.1.1 does return ~24 values), and then figuring out where the template went and how to make it reappear.
