Strange units displayes

[sharkys]

Could you please provide me some guidance how to get rid of those strange units and replace them by real numbers ? I tried already everything, but not succesfully. Other graphs are working fine...

Try to get the value from the rrd file manualy using rrdfetch command as follows, and let us know the result.

Code: Select all

rrdtool fetch /usr/local/share/cacti/rra/proxy_sm_bytes_to_72.rrd AVERAGE -s -1h

If the gotten data has very small value shawn as the graph, maybe your data collection method have some problem.
Otherwise maybe wrong CDEF function is defined to the Data Source.

Results are following, now I understand why there is "m" as "mili" ...

Normally results should not be so small, as script is returning following values :

Code: Select all

msgsfrom:2359 msgsto:331 msgsreject:0 msgsdiscard:0 msgsquran:0 bytes_from:336138K bytes_to:559611K mess_queue:0

My data template, if it will help...

[sharkys]

Btw - I don't have any CDEF function enabled ;-(

[engeishi]

I have imported your template to my test environment.
I wrote a small script to output data, and set up Cacti to collect data and draw graph.
There are some minor problem, but it works fine like this figure...

The remaining suspicious point is the script output I think.
If it shows normal value as you presented, I have no idea why this happens.

Sorry I couldn't help you.

[sharkys]

Even according to the LOG, rights inputs are going from Script to RRD, but they are not saved correctly ???

I deleted associated RRD file and now let's see.

[Linegod]

If the data is going in correctly, it is the graph template that is incorrect.

Somewhere in it you have either set it to Average, or are applying Per 5 Minute, etc, etc. Tinker with the graph template until you get the desired results.

[sharkys]

I got it already, thank you. It was necessary to delete RRD files.
