Graph Title Rename

[capboy118]

Hey Guys, need a little help.

I have several hundreds interfaces that I am watching and I normally change the Graph title to a custom title, but I can't seem to find where to change it.

It has been a stressful two days and I know this is super simple, just need a fresh pair of eyes. I was thinking I changed them all in "Graph Management", but all I see in there is a box to change the Data Sources. TIA

There are issues in modifying the default templates. If you do so, be prepared for some issues long term, like if you want to back to automatic generation.

To change them manually, you must edit the graph template and specify that you want the title to be a "per graph" one. Once you have done this, you will be able to change each graph as you choose.

The downside of this takes place if you ever want to return to a non-per graph config. If you do so, in the current version, you will loose all you static names.

I see, did this change in the newest version? I remember being able to have the automatic naming there, but still able to modify the name per graph.

I have never changed the Graph Template itself, just the seperate graph title (in the image) one by one. See the pic below.

I was most doing it for management. It is better to see "Store 250" then "Traffic - ATM1/ima1.250.a"

I see the "problem" you describe and if I must name all new graph myself, then I guess I will..this just seems different than it was in older versions.

I copied the interface graph template to create a new template (Interface - Traffic (bits/sec) - Custom Template). I modified this template to allow me to rename the graphs.

I just changed the template used by the graphs I needed to change and renamed them. It didn't work this way on the older version. The data that was imported from the 8.6c was already named this way and didn't need a manual template change.
