Massive export of cactai data

Post by wawrzek »

Hi,

How can I export data from many cactai scripts at once?

It's unclear what you are trying to accomplish. Would you please further elaborate.

All the data that is collected from devices is stored in the rrd files. One ca use rrdtool dump to export all of the raw data.

I'm a bit confused by the statement as well.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Sorry for not being clear.

Let say that I want to compare last week 'Load' for 9 different machines and I would like to make one graph from all above data. I can use some expternal tool (i.e. gnuplot), because Cacti has nice option to export data to CSV file. But I wonder if it possible to export data for many machines/devices at once.

Another idea is to compare data from different machines at let say 12:00 each day for the last 10 days, but I guess that might be done using rrdtools.

Ah. There is no automated method in cacti to mass export data to CSV file. But, since all the data is actually in the *.rrd files, you can use rrdtool dump and access all the raw data stored.
