Wrong database-content for datasource-name

[TIKA]

Hi all!

System:
Debian-SID
Cacti 0.8.7e with all patches, Boost 2.4 and PA 2.5
PHP Version 5.2.9-4

Example:

I have create a traffic-graph using the pre-installed template "In/Out Bits with Total Bandwidth".
The suggest query-value for the datasource-name is "|host_description| - Traffic - |query_ifIP| - |query_ifName|".

After execution:

Code: Select all

mysql> select name,name_cache from `data_template_data` where name_cache like 'Localhost%Traffic%';
+---------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
| name                                              | name_cache                               |
+---------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
| |host_description| - Traffic - 192.168.0.1 - eth0 | Localhost - Traffic - 192.168.0.1 - eth0 | 
+---------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+

Problem:

The field "name" IS NOT as expected "|host_description| - Traffic - |query_ifIP| - |query_ifName|"

Some tests and ever the same result:

Any variable "|query_xyz|" in field "name" was inserted directly.
Please note: "|host_description|" works properly.

A few minutes later (by accident) inside Cacti: "Reapply Suggested Names" for this datasource -> this fix the "problem".

Code: Select all

mysql> select name,name_cache from `data_template_data` where name_cache like 'Localhost%Traffic%';
+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
| name                                                         | name_cache                               |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
| |host_description| - Traffic - |query_ifIP| - |query_ifName| | Localhost - Traffic - 192.168.0.1 - eth0 | 
+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
