Data Input from a .cvs file

[metos]

Hello,

I've been looking for a tutorial or an explanation to create this king of graph:

data.cvs---------
TBL1;600;800
TBL2;120;1000
TBL3;80;300
-------------------

I'd like to have 3 differents graphes for TBL1 , TBL2 and TBL3.
Of course i can have 3 cvs files , but i don't understand how to create and configure Cacti to make this graph.

Thanks

You'll have to write a script (Perl comes to mind) that will parse the CVS and spit out the values you're after.

OK, that's what i've already read.

i'd like to know the output format and the way to configure cacti to use it,

thanks

Output format as such:

Code: Select all

Value1:Value Value2:Value Value3:value Value4:value

Avoid having a space at the end, it may cause issues depending on the poller you are using.

I had a Data Input Methods, but (if it is correct) then i tried to add a Data query and i had a problem. There is only one choice for the "Data Input Method" it is "Get SNMPD DATA (indexed)"

Is it because my xcacti version is a 0.8.5a ?

Thanks

I've updated my cacti version (0.8.6c)

I can create a data query with my data input method, but it does'nt work when i try to apply this query to a divice.

If someone could give me a fully exemple.

I have a script (shell) which only print an output:
v1:10 v2:30

I'd just like to know how to monitore this value in Cacti (with the data query configuration and the XML file)

Thanks
