How to create network interface graphs for Linux

[rweales]

I cannot figure out how to create network interface graphs for my Linux computers.

How do I "create a graph for this device"?

I try to create a new data source for "Interface - Traffic", but then it tells me I must create a new graph first, which doesn't give me the option of "Interface - Traffic".

• create a new device, associate the "ucd/net" Host Template to it and provide correct snmp parms (no SNMP Error must be seen) and save
• Create Graphs for this Host and see the network interfaces in the next screen
• select those interfaces you're interested in and select a Graph of your liking from the dropdown and "create"
• wait at least 10 minutes before you may find them from Graph Management

Reinhard, thank you.

All I had to do was choose that other template...

[*](no SNMP Error must be seen)

But if it gives me snmp error?
snmpd is up and runnin but the snmpd.conf is in default statement. i need to reconfigure it?
