Cacti graph showing incorrect Y-scale

Post by jai »

Would anyone know why the graph for Connections shows the range from 100m to 700m. We hardly get a couple of connections sometimes, yet the graph below shows 100m scale. What does it mean ? All other Connections graph's come to proper scale (0-10, etc).
Thanks!

100m = 0.1
700m = 0.7

Did you use "COUNTER" for Data Source Type (instead of "GAUGE") in your Data Template?

And please bear in mind, that usually the value retrieved represents a value for 300 s polling interval. Recalculated for e.g. a 1s interval, this gives quite small values that are non-integer. To cope with that, you may use a CDEF "Make per 5 Minutes"
