95th Percentile Setup

[kris1351]

I want to modify the 95th percentile to work like all of our upstream providers do. Right now it is doing the average billing and they throw away the top 5% of in or out each month and bill according to your top 95th of usage. Anyone modified before I start playing with it?

Read the section of the documentation called "Graph Variables"

What do you want to modify, what you say is how the Nth percentile functions work in Cacti.

[kris1351]

The default is average and I want to make it to be peak on the 95th.

[rony]

You are correct, the default is average.

This will be changing in Cacti 0.8.8...

I just have to re-write the functions..

I have this set for the MAX value, but cannot get it to work on 64bit? Changed the associated graphs as suggested in another thread, but still not getting anywhere. Goal is to get it so the customers can see what their 95th will be at anytime of the month.

[kris1351]

Nobody has 95th on 64bit peak running?

[rony]

That should work just fine, unless there is a bug not updating the data source connection correctly.

You better bet is to create a 64bit template and create the graphs using that.

Ok will try that route. It just shows blank pictures with the post above.
