Hi,

i have 4 interfaces two are 100 others are 1000, i pick "randomly" the last file :

Your max values are set incorrectly in the rrdfiles. Likely using ifSpeed instead of ifHighSpeed. I have published a patch. You might want to seek it out, or pull the latest resource/snmp_queries/interfaces.xml and lib/rrd.php from SVN and SVN for PIA, then rerun the Data Queries and Delete the Affected RRDfiles.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Hi,

i download interface.xml and rrd.php from SVN,
i rename and paste these files in proper folders:

resource/snmp_queries/interfaces.xml
lib/rrd.php

move old rrd files related to this switch to temp folder and
then i update the poller:
php -q rebuild_poller_cache.php -d.

but still the issue is there.

help please.

Yep, this is the trick, just to recap base on your old post:

1) 10G Interfaces can be tracked, but not without changes to the Standard Interface Data Template
2) You must use SNMPv2 and 64-bit Counters
3) You MUST adjust the max value in the Data Template.
4) If you already have graphs you want to keep, you can use the RRDtool tune command to increase the Max value in the RRDfile.

i change Interface template to use bit in out/64bit insted of normal in/out bit counters.

this fix both, graph reading and threshold alerting.

thanks alot, it's fixed.
