Could you explain your issue in more than one sentence? I have actually no idea what you want. :-?

Mhm.. How about clicking on the blue button with the white arrow next to the graphs? Then you can export the data into CSV.

Take a look at the rrdtool manual.

You can use the PRINT option of the rrdtool graph command to get text output (use /dev/null as the graph filename).

Here's an example from Weathermap:

Code: Select all

rrdtool graph /dev/null -f "" -s now-30d -e now DEF:in=../rra/atm-sl_traffic_in_5498.rrd:traffic_in:AVERAGE DEF:out=../rra/atm-sl_traffic_in_5498.rrd:traffic_out:AVERAGE VDEF:avg_in=in,AVERAGE VDEF:avg_out=out,AVERAGE PRINT:avg_in:%lf PRINT:avg_out:%lf
Cacti won't really help you with this job, but you can use the graph debug option to copy some of the DEF and CDEF parts.
Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.
(Let me know if you have UK DevOps or Network Ops opportunities, too!)

DEF:in=/var/www/html/rra/public_network_traffic_in_37.rrd:AVERAGE

should be

DEF:in=/var/www/html/rra/public_network_traffic_in_37.rrd:traffic_in:AVERAGE

(you missed out the DS name)

There are command-line options for the start and end times. I think they are -s and -e, but they are in the rrdtool manual. You can specify dates in a lot of formats, including now-30d.
