[solved] Substituting Data Source and Label Text

[ScrewDriver]

Hi,

I was hoping someone could assist in letting me know where i could apply some regex substitution withing the code to achieve the below.

When i import interfaces from my devices they are over the Data Source label field and also too long for the RRD labels on the graphs.
They only just go over so i was hoping that i could add some code to the php function that gathers this information and substitute some text fields

GigabitEthernet => Gi
FastEthernet => Fa
Bundle-Ether => BE

Things along this line would save me some character space.
If it could be updated in the code and then work when i use the "Reapply Suggested Names" function that would save me heaps of time.

I understand changing the code will be lost at upgrade time but i'm happy to put it back in each time i update.

Thanks

You've already increased the max lengths in Settings --> Visual and it's still too long to fit? Made the font smaller? probably need to refresh the poller cache and/or refresh the data query in question.

if you really want to go down the regex route, look into the [SNMP - Interface Statistics] file /resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml Use breadcrumbs from http://docs.cacti.net/manual:088:3a_adv ... _in_action to see if you can get a rename functional (I'm not certain it'll work).

Thankyou BSOD2600,

I well and truly overthought that, the visual settings fixed my problem.
Thanks for your quick response.
