This does not belong in the Informational/HOWTO's. Moving to general

take a read: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=11647

This is handled in the last link of my signature. But wait: this covers "graphable numeric data" only. So you would have to translate the status information by some wrapper script into numbers, e.g. 0 for "down" and 1 for "up" to get them graphed

but when i try to add my dataQuery that i have build to my device,
this error is apper:

but when i try to add another data query<that have been in default cacti> in my device... it's no error.
what should i do?
thx b4:)

Yep, should have been more precise. My howto in fact describes graphing of indexed values (similar to yours), but the values must be numeric. Theses values are stored into rrdtool files (rrd's). There's no chance to store STRING values in rrd files.
So, when querying your target for STATUS data, the result is of STRING type. To store it, you'll have to convert it into numeric type (as I stated above). This may be done by some wrapper script.
And here's the problem: It is not possible to invoke a wrapper script, when building a SNMP Data Query.
But there's a solution to this: It is possible, to invoke a script directly. This must implement the SNMP query to get the data and must perform the numerical translation. In cacti lingo, this is called a Script Query. You must provide the index information to the script to make it query the correct index.
The syntax is not very different, but find a description at http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/htm ... y_xml.html for more help
