Graphing in 1 minute (or X seconds) intervals

Post by mapster »

As I'm monitoring my network utilisation, from my management the question was raised if it is possible to have 1 minute polling intervals (the polling interval is simply adjustable by executing the poller.php every 60 seconds, I know) AND have the graphs also represent in 1 minute scaling.

So when using the "zoom" options in cacti 8.6 the x-scale and minimun data representation would be in 1 minute (or x minute / x seconds) scale instead of the standard 5 minutes.

Is this possible and if so: HOW??

Many thanx in advance

Not officially support in UI as of today. If you go there, you are on your own. Sorry.

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?

If you want something done right, do it yourself... :D :D

Under the "Data Templates" find the datasource you want to be in X second steps. For example the Interface Traffic template. Change the steps value (standard 300 (=5 minutes) ) into the number of seconds you want (60 in my case for 1 minutes intervals) and chahnge the polling interval also to 60 seconds.

Now I have in my graphs 1 minute measured intervals. Perhaps this is not the way, but the represented data in my graphs seem to be accurate and correct compared to other benchmarkers I also have running for comparisation.

Enjoy
