Working day average

TheKremer · Post by **TheKremer** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 1:48 pm

We currently have the routers2.cgi mrtg frontend monitoring out interfaces. It has an option to show the working day average (8-5) of traffic and ping response. Anyone have any idea how to implement something like this in cacti?

Post an example.

Here's an example. Since we are an 8-5 shop, the average over those hours is more important than the average for the entire 24 hours. Thanks.

What about the weekly, monthly, yearly graphs?

It is included on the Weekly and Monthly. I'm assuming it is left off of the yearly due to not having enough samples to make an accurate average.

we also use this feature and i am also missing it in cacti *g*
especially the traffic sum, peak and average calculated only for the working hours is great.

Please post the 4 rrdtool graph statements, that generate the graphs above. Then, let's have a look ...

It is using MRTG and I do not specify the RRDtool commands anywhere. It utilizes the standard MRTG config such as:

Target[x.x.x.x_Fax_x]: #Fax/x:ro_community@x.x.x.x:
SetEnv[x.x.x.x_Fax_x]: MRTG_INT_IP="x.x.x.x" MRTG_INT_DESCR="FastEthernetx/x"
MaxBytes[x.x.x.x_Fax_x]: 12500000
WithPeak[x.x.x.x_Fax_x]: ymw
Title[x.x.x.x_Fax_x]: Title
PageTop[x.x.x.x_Fax_x]: <H1>Page header</H1>
routers.cgi*ShortDesc[x.x.x.x_Fax_x]: Description

Well the peak values are not secret. They are just lines using MAX instead of Current. The workday yellow bars are not secret either, just a CDEF with a mother of an area. However, the workday average comment is more complex and requires a detailed analysis of prospective methods.

The calculation of the workday average is likely a fetch based upon the calculation of the workday as specified by the user. For us to deploy this, we need to have a discussion. It's approach would have to be engineered such as our 95th percentile is today. We can't forget that each device can have it's own "workday".

As such, Ian and Tony will both have to chime in.

Has there been any more discussion about this? I was just wondering if this was something that would be looked at for a future release.

No discussion, future release, maybe.

I will be honest, I don't see this in 0.8.6 tree, but I do see a possibility of seeing it 0.9.0 release of cacti.

i hope from 0.8.6g we will jump to 0.9.0

just kidding

This is something we've been hoping for in Cacti also.
