Issue w/Aggregate

[doogles]

Good day. I am using cacti 1.2.0-beta2.

I am attempting to create an aggregate but having an issue. I have two "base" graphs, each made up of a single graphed datapoint along with LAST/AVG/MIN/MAX data. Cacti graph debug output suggests it uses this to generate the "base" graphs:

If I create an aggregate from those two "base" graphs and total everything, I get an error of "ERROR: Legend set but no color: Min\: :STACK". Looking at the aggregate's graph debug output, I get:

It appears that the aggregate is treating "Min" as AREA, instead of GPRINT. Any suggestions on how I could sort out why?

(Offtopic question: Is this the best place to report on 1.2.0-beta2 issues? I've run in to a few as I've been playing with it this morning and would love to help get them looked at before a formal 1.2.0 release. If no, could you point me in the best place to report them? Thanks.)

Thanks!,

Ok, so after a lot of futzing around, I appear to have "fixed" this. It appears that if I change the graph item from GPRINT:MIN (with CF=MIN) to GPRINT (with CF=MIN) followed by un-totalling then re-totalling that field (either on the Aggregate or the Aggregate Template, if applicable) then it works.

Based on this, I changed all 4 of my GPRINT graph items to GPRINT (vs GPRINT:xxx). Is this correct? Full disclosure: I had a very similar problem with 1.1.38, so this isn't specific to 1.2.0-beta2.

It may be worth opening an issue with steps you took to see if it's something that could be properly handled. I doubt it would be in the 1.2 timeframe but if it's there it should be eventually addressed.
