95th percentile graph from docs.cacti.net

[JorisFRST]

I updated to this graph template, and now those graphs are not drawing anymore (after applying to an old graph).

As you see it doesn't say OK
I can't really find what's wrong.

Any ideas ?
Cacti 0.87e

[BSOD2600]

rrdtool version? tried a different version?

[JorisFRST]

RRDTOOl version 1.3.8


Not tried another version yet as everything else works.
And the "old" standard template for 95th percentile always worked fine.

Please see the related data source and post a screen shot of the data source items. It may happen, that you need to re-assign them
R.

[JorisFRST]

Ok, I've had another look but can't point it down,

screenshot included.

[gandalf]

Looks fine. Can't help without access to the system; never came across a similar problem; sorry
R.

[adamc]

I have the exact same problem, did you ever solve it?

[pfraser]

I ran into this problem also and found the problem. For me I had upgraded to Cacti 0.8.7g on a new server. The graph template for 95th percentile is much different that it was under 0.8.7e. The debug output is key, but you have to paste it into a terminal to get more information. Then you get this,

Code: Select all

-bash: 95:bits:0:current: command not found
-bash: GPRINT:cdeff:AVERAGE:Average\:%8.2lf %s: command not found

Looking at the debug output more closely I noticed that the 95 percentile functions have different output,

HRULE:|95\:bits\:0\:current|#00FF00FF:"95%\:" \
vs.
HRULE:110704.97#FF0000FF:"95th Percentile" \

So the percentile function isn't working everywhere. Looking at the graph template there are a bunch of percentile functions, however several of them are missing a field.

Item # 8 HRULE: |95:bits:0:current|

should read,

Item # 8 HRULE: |95:bits:0:current:2|

Fix all the other places where there aren't 5 fields. From the docs,

http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/html/variables.html

Nth Percentile

|[0-9]:(bits|bytes):[0-9]:(current|total|max|total_peak|all_max_current|all_max_peak|aggregate_max|aggregate_sum|aggregate_current|aggregate):[0-9]|

So that fixes the graph. I'm not sure I like all the extra data on this template, I just want a simple red line at the 95th percentile.
