No graph preview

Post by tbushnel »

I'm new to Cacti and finally getting a grasp of things slowly, but ......slowly :lol:

One problem that I've yet to solve relates to graph previews. For whatever reason, the graph preview simply shows up as a box with a red x giving me the impression that the underlying file is not there or there are permission problems. Strangely though, clicking this preview icon yields all the underlying graphs in perfect form. Can someone explain to me where the preview comes from? I was under the impression it was just a "oversized thumbnail" or the graphs. Why would the graphs work, but not the previews.

Note, I have made sure that preview graph is ON.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Traditionally problems with graph preview have been caused by older versions of rrdtool. Cacti makes use of the '--no-legend' option which older versions do not seems to support. I recommend upgrading your version of rrdtool and trying again.

Thumbnails don't display

Post by marklaw »

I have the same problem with thumbnails not displaying in preview mode. I've read the other posts and one mentioned a problem with an older version of rrdtool. I just installed and have:

RRDtool 1.2.6 Copyright 1997-2005 by Tobias Oetiker <tobi@oetiker.ch>
Compiled Thu Jul 7 12:41:05 EDT 2005

Did I get an old version?

Any help appreciated.

No, but you posted in a very old thread. :(

Next time check the date, if it's to old, post a new one.

Double check your Settings for the RRDtool version on the General Tab.
