You have to create the graph using the "Total Bandwidth" template.

Can you post an example graph?

Do the graphs that don't work missing outbound or inbound traffic?

Can you post or email me the rrdfile for this? If you view the graph debug output, it will tell you the path to the file.

Also, please go into graph management and turn on graph debug. If you don't see the results, I suspect another problem in that the rrdtool fetch command is not getting results back to Cacti for some reason. I have seen this before from systems running IIS. Unfortunately, I don't know the solution.

stacyr,

1) Are you running in Windows?
2) If so, are you running IIS?
3) If so, are you on 2003 or 2000? Server or Workstation?

Hmm, what version of Cacti? What version of RRDtool?

Then, you will perform the following:

1) Disable the poller for a few seconds from the UI Settings->Poller
2) Turn Logging to DEBUG
3) View a Single Bandwidth Graph from Graph Management
4) Turn Logging to LOW or where it was before.
5) Re-Enable the Poller
6) Goto the Log file and View
7) Look for the CACTI2RRD .../rrdtool fetch ... line
8) Copy it
9) Open a shell
10) Paste it into the shell
11) Execute it
12) Post the results here.

This is certainly not good. If you Cacti is internet facing, I have a few minutes to help you.
