Sorry for my poor understanding, but I hope I can help a little bit further.
Some of the variables are listed in the docs. And for graphs, that are based on data queries, there's another option. To understand, you must have a look at the data query xml file in question. Here's an example, taken from <path_cacti>/resource/snmp_queries/host_disk.xml:

Code: Select all

<fields>
		 		...
		 		 <hrStorageDescr>
		 		 		 ...
		 		 		 <direction>input</direction>
		 		 		 ...
		 		 </hrStorageDescr>
		 		 <hrStorageAllocationUnits>
		 		 		 ...
		 		 		 <direction>input</direction>
		 		 		 ...
		 		 </hrStorageAllocationUnits>
...

For clarity, some information is deleted. Those

Code: Select all

<variable_name>
...
</VariableName>

sections define some variables for later use. <direction>input</direction> defines, that this variable is not an output variable. You may use those input variables in graphs as |query_VariableName|, e.g. |query_hrStorageDescr| or |query_StorageAllocationUnits|
