Graph items reach limit ?

Post by orekaminh »

I created a graph template with more than 135 items. Then cacti can not display Graph, after I delete any graph item, I can display. Is Graph items reach its limit? Any way to extend it? Thanks

More likely a command line path limitation of Windows. Enable graph debugging, copy the rrdtool graph command and attempt to manually run it -- does it work?

Sorry I forgot one thing, When I create new graph in Graph management (use GUI, not manual), it can display. But when I place this graph on the tree, I can see only the link with the graph title. Then I have to click on it and it can display, but it include daily, weekly, monthly and yearly ( as when you click on the normal graph).

P/S how to run rrdtool graph command manual, I copied it then paste to CMD but it display many error, may I have to delete "\" in rrdtool command ?

What was the error?

For a normal sized graph with only a few entries, copy/paste the command to valid you're correctly doing it. Then repeat with your large problematic graph.

Sorry, yea you need to remove those backslashes \

You could possibly save yourself the hassle by checking if the problematic command is longer than 8191 characters per http://support.microsoft.com/KB/830473
On computers running Microsoft Windows XP or later, the maximum length of the string that you can use at the command prompt is 8191 characters. On computers running Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0, the maximum length of the string that you can use at the command prompt is 2047 characters.

You're right! command is longer than 8191 characters at the 136th item. But I dont know why cacti still can create the full graph (It say OK! and can display at sub link). The problem is how to show the graph on tree without having click on the hyperlink. Anyway to fix this ?

You can add a graph just itself without a hyperlink... but that's not going to solve the problem of the graph with too many items. Also the next release of Cacti has completely reworked the entire Tree code...

Semi-related. have you looked into http://forums.cacti.net/viewforum.php?f=16 ? Looks kinda like what you're trying to set up.

Could you show me How to add a graph without a hyperlink? I only khow the way of chosing action "Place on a Tree" menu

When using this way :

Case 1 : Item less than 135, graph display directly when I click on the left tree menu
Case 2 : Item more than 135, no graph display, just display hyperlink name "INBOUND TRAFFIC" (I attached before), then I have to click on it to see the graph.

Now I temporarily delete some less important items and it worked. Hoping this will be fixed in next release hehe.

Thank you so much and Happy New Year :)

Graph Management -> Trees

The limitation is the OS, not Cacti.
How about not displaying the text in the graph and only the lines/areas in the picture instead?
