Setting up stacked graphs.

[GrandMasterLee]

I'm trying to use my max-files.pl to setup a stacked graph, but what I see happening in my graph is that it's constantly filled at it's max, 8192 in this case, (so that entire area is filled), and then the amount free is just appended to the top of that, instead of looking more like the load_avg graphs.

Any pointers on setting up a stacked graph? TIA.

Can someone please help me setup a stacked graph? If nothing else, explain to me what the deal is? I can't seem to setup a graph that displays three values.

In this case if you perform the following:

Code: Select all

cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr

those three values I'd like to display on one graph. I want to put the Max value, the far right, as a line at the top.
The second value, allocated, is the primary value to track, then the last value, free, is the sub value to track within allocated.

I can setup a graph with the following:
max is area
free is stack
alloc is stack
but this does not display as a flowing graph because free will go up and down a lot.

Any help would be appreciated.

PS, my script is in the scripts forum if you'd like to see what I mean.

Ok..Fixed it. I didn't realize how to exactly utilize the graph types. So, after a while of messing with them I realized "stacked" isn't what I need, and that I just needed several area graphs placed on top of each other.
