Higher resolution graphs (High Collection Rate) how to?

Post by janrovner »

Hello, I am a newbie to Cacti (version 1.1.38 on Ubuntu 18) and need to have a higher resolution graphs - with 30sec resolution (1 minute would be enough as well).

What I did:

1. I cleared all devices and graphs.

2. I went to "Presets/Data Profiles" and have found "High Collection Rate", that should have a 30s graph resolution. I've made this a default profile, then I switched data templates to use it (I see now a 6 templates using "High Collection Rate" and 0 for "System Default").

3. Then I added some devices and graphs for them, Data Sources are showing "Poller Interval" column as "30 Seconds" and graphs started to appear.

What is strange, the graphs look right - x axis of graphs is stepped by 30sec - but the actual data in them is changed after 5 minutes.

Q: What else needs and how to be set up to have a higher resolution than (default) 5 minutes ?

I went to Settings/Poller and set "Poller Type" to spine, "Poller Interval" to "Every 30 seconds", "Cron interval" to "Every minute" and rebooted, but it did not help.

Thank you very much.

Did you remove any existing RRA's before you started afresh with the 30 seconds polling? If not, the RRA's will still have a step size of 5 minutes.
