Data Source [Field Not Templated]

Post by eger »

After editing the 95th Percentile Graph Template all the graph items in the template say this in front of the data source: Data Source [Field Not Templated]. I am not sure how to fix this as the graph item CLEARLY is in the Graph Item Inputs data source as an associated graph item. As a result, all my graphs only use the traffic_out data source for everything in the graph.

Any ideas?

this now seems to be a problem with ALL of my graph templates. after changing graph items several times they all start to use the SAME data source (my in graphing and out graphing are both using the outbound datasource). i'm thinking this is a bug since they are definately checked as using the correct data source.

The "field not templated" part looks to be correct. Cacti displays this when the field in question is referenced in a graph item input. It is simply saying that any change made to the field is not propagated out to associated graphs. The data source field is sort of an exception though since Cacti always tries to maintain the graph item input(s) for that field.

If this happens to you again, I would double check that the data source field for each graph item is correct. Secondly, I would double check the graph item inputs for both inbound and outbound to make sure that they reference the correct graph items.
