Generic OID Template only usable once?

Post by mysticone »

I've looked through the documentation, the mailing list, and the forums here and haven't found anything that answered my question. So, hopefully this isn't something that's been asked before but I missed.

I'm a new cacti user and am setting it up for the first time. I have a good bit of data that I want to graph with OIDs that cacti doesn't see by default. So, that's all well and good and I added a new graph using the Generic OID Template and specified the proper OID. Everything worked great, so I went to add the next one. However, now when in the New Graph creation thing, I can no longer select Generic OID Template. It just doesn't appear in the list for that host. If I change to a different host, it's available in the dropdown list. But, again, switching back to the host I need to add the graph on removes the Generic OID Template option. Suggestions? Thanks!

Part of 0.8.6c caused used graph templates to not be selectable in the drop-down, which prevents you from doing what you're trying to do.

It was patched, try downloading 0.8.6c again and untarring it into your cacti directory. I believe the fixed files were merged back in.

I ran into this as well. You can "duplicate" the generic snmp template and name your new template generic2 or something of the sort to get around this.
