Howie,

I'm seeing an odd issue with following the example for converting C to F on the target line of the config.

Here's an excerpt of my config

Code: Select all

NODE BE_SVR_MB
        TEMPLATE UPStemp
        INFOURL /graph.php?rra_id=all&local_graph_id=519
        OVERLIBGRAPH /graph_image.php?rra_id=0&graph_nolegend=true&graph_height=100&graph_width=300&local_graph_id=519
        TARGET scale:1.8:/var/www/html/rra/62/625.rrd:mb_temp_qry:mb_temp_qry + static:32:32
        POSITION 250 250

Which is pretty similar to the previous examples, but when the map is created, it displays the correct values, but I continually get errors in the log:

Code: Select all

08/11/2009 12:00:34 PM - WEATHERMAP: Poller[0] WARNING: [Map 8] test.conf: ReadData: NODE HOST, target: scale:1.8:/var/www/html/rra/62/625.rrd:mb_temp_qry:mb_temp_qry + static:32:32 on config line 40 was not recognised as a valid TARGET [WMWARN08]

I'd like to try to resolve this so that cacti stops kvetching about errors on the maps. I've tried to enclose the target value in double quotes per the documentation but when that is done, the map only displays zeros for that target.

Any ideas?

There's no +. If there were a plus, it would need to be hard against the following sub-target, like the - and * need to be. But there isn't.

With the target in quotes (if you mean the whole line in one set of quotes) then it will try and treat the entire string as a single target, which will also not work, but for slightly different reasons.

It would be a good thing if the error message told you which of the sub-targets was not recognised as a valid target. I'll try and remember that.

Ok, if there is no plus, then how does it work to do the calculation?

I was following the post right before mine that shows there's a plus in there, and no one said it didn't work.

What would the correct format be?

Just leave out the plus. If you had a series of targets in a row, separated by spaces, then they are added. The other stuff is all the special non-adding stuff.

That done diddily fixed it. Thanks!
