Near zero float number format

[rmarx]

Hi,
I'm graphing ping latency and I would like to show gprint latency times like y-axis format. i.e y-axis shows 0.2 milliseconds and gprint shows 200m (its 200 milli milliseconds -> microseconds). So, I want cacti shows 0.2 on gprint as well.

Thanks

To force to show in no unit, for example:

Create custom CDEF


And use it in graph template

Thanks by your reply noname.

It hid the unit, but the number continues like hundreds (i.e. "200") instead thousandth (i.e. "0.2"). I need to force cacti to show in thousandth format instead of change subunit.

Hmm, it may be related to Base Value settings (default:1000?) in graph template..

Oops, I missed that.

http://docs.cacti.net/manual:087:3_templates.2_graph_template

Unit Exponent Value
Sets the 10^e scaling of the y-axis. Valid values for this field are between -18 and 18.
For example, you could use 3 to display everything in 'k' (kilo) or -6 to display everything in 'u' (micro).

Thanks gandalf

That worked only for y-axis... not for gprint.

I found somthing in Graph management->Gprint presets. There I can change number formatting. Default is %8.2lf%s. I tried some changes, but I havent got 0,XXX formatting style.

I got!

I added a new gprint preset in graph management -> gprint presets. In the new gprint, I set GPRINT Text to %3.3lf. I taked away the "%s" param... this avoid magnitude autoselection. So, I changed GPRINT type to the new gprint in the Graph template item.


Thanks
