Total Bandwidth Not Displayed Properly

Post by Shaman »

I'm using Debian, both packaged and a self-installed version on another machine. RRDTool switched to 1.2 last week and now all my graphs are wrong. What's more, they didn't properly update the debs for the SNMP libraries, which are still linked to OpenSSL 0.97 (0.98 was installed last week as well).

Image

Note the "in" is in Megabytes and is small. Doesn't appear to be at all accurate, as Yearly graphs are usually just listed as 1.0xM

Three machines running Cacti are doing this (two are on private networks) and it's perplexing. Is this a Cacti problem with RRDTool 1.2 (yes I've told Cacti that it's 1.2)?

Ok, I think I know what is wrong, but I need to see a screen shot of you graph items for that graph or graph template.

Also, that value is not generated by RRDTool, but by cacti.

Hrm. But I think RRDTool 1.0 was giving us the right data - I may be wrong.

Anyway...

Please post a screen shot of your "Interface - Traffic (bits/sec, Total Bandwidth)" graph template.

Done. FYI, these are default settings - I have changed nothing in the template of my own volition.

Go in and edit item #4 and select hard return. That should make it visable.

Done. No change in the graphs, they are still showing the incorrect data.

I tried it on the Debian versions (installed from .debs) and the same is true. I even let it do a poller.php run to be sure.

Also adding a hard return to #7 seems to have fixed it. Odd? Maybe it needed two poller runs? Wish I was more clueful. :/

It's more a function of the font and the size of the graph causing the text to go off the side. The hard return makes it go on a new line. Simple and easy solution. :)

Put a hard return after item #9 - that fixes the aligment of the Current values.

I would also like to add that using a fix width font would avoid most of this. :)
