Graph Mysteriously Returns After Being Deleted

Post by tonyd »

Greetings,

I've got an odd one, or at least I can't explain it. Can anybody tell me why/how a graph that I've deleted mysteriously gets re-created? I added a device (Mikrotik RTR) and created created the graphs. I noticed I have two graphs for the same interface, one w/ In/Out Bytes (64-bit) and one w/ In/Out Bytes (64-bit, BW). I only want the one using BW. I delete the unwanted graph and it's data source. But it mysteriously returns. I don't understand why/how/where this is happening.

Thanks in advance

Most likely you have something in automation recreating it

Thanks @cigamit, I'm not familiar w/ Automations. So it's nothing I set up but must be some default(s). I'll have to take a look to see what automation would override.

I disabled the Traffic 64 bit Server under the Automation->Graph Rules. That did the trick. I'll have to read up on that feature and what it does and why one would use it. I started using Cacti back in 2008 and did so for many years. It's been a few years since I retired. I'm not a fan of some of the alternatives like LIbreNMS, Observium, or Prometheus. I personally hate the graphs Grafana creates.

Thanks again @cigamit.
