On that note is there a Threshold's template page where one can grab predefined templates by the gurus? http://docs.cacti.net/templates doesn't seem to have any...

Can this used for actual disk space or is it referring the exact value of RRD on the graph?
Perhaps "Exact Value" is simply LAST value of the datasource, which is not applied any CDEF and RPN Expression.

Hate to reopen this case, however I am using this formula:

via RPN and it's 4 % out on disk space free for a non-volume group...

|ds:hdd_used|,100,*,|ds:hdd_total|,/

df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 18G 12G 5.4G 68% /

Shows 68% here and Cacti shows 64 in Thresholds, so close!

There is going to be a deployment of Kaseya soon on our network and if possible I just want to keep Cacti for our Linux hosts only I just have to prove this is functioning correctly...

Can someone explain to me, in step by step, how to correct this as I am a mad noob who wishes to use this great system.

Thanks
