Hot to delete graph from tree

Post by ffeingol »

This sure seems like it should be easy, but how to do it is totally baffling me.

We're running Cacti V 1.2.8

The Graph tree looks like this:

Root
--Branch One
---- Sub-Branch One

A graph that should have been on "Sub-Branch One" was placed on "Branch One".

how do you delete it?

Drag and drop to move it, right click delete to remove it.

Hello,

Sorry if I was not clear. It's individual graphs that are in the wrong part of the tree. I see how I can delete the branches of the tree, but not the actual graphs that are under that branch.

If it's simple as right click, where in Cacti do I need to be to do that?

Thanks again.

Place the cursor on the item you wish to remove and right click. A menu should drop down allowing you to remove it.

OK, I must have totally lost my mind, as I still see no way to delete graphs (or even list the graphs). Here is what I'm doing:

- Choose Management
- Choose Trees
- Choose the root
- Click "Edit Tree"
- Choose the branch I want to clean up

In the left I see "tree items" and I can right click / delete there, but I don't want to delete the tree items, I want to delete graphs that are "under" those items. On the right I see Available Sites, Available Devices and Available Graphs.

What am I missing?

You may be looking under a site or a device object. You don't have the ability to remove graphs from those object types. They are meta-objects and not Graphs. If you want to remove a users permission to see a Graph, you do that from the user, or preferably user group permissions page.

Let me try to explain this again. Here is what part of our tree looks like:

Root
--Branch One
---- Sub-Branch One

Graphs were added at "Branch One" and they should not have been put there. They were then added (a second sent) under "Sub-Branch One" (where they actually should be). I now want to delete the graphs from "Branch One" as they do not belong there.

I don't want to totally delete the graphs (and loose all the hosting) I just want to remove them from the wrong branch in the tree.

Does that help?

You should be able to drag them around.

I'm in Console, Management, Trees, Root Tree. When I click on a branch, I see Available Sites, Devices and Graphs, but not any graphs that are under that branch in the tree.

Can you provide a screen shot of what a sample system should look like / where I can drag / delete?

This is what you will see below. The graph is under the tree branch.

Thank you very much. I had my ah ha moment. We have dozens of devices on each branch of the tree, so I simply had not scrolled down enough.
