Graph Management - No Data Sources to Choose From

Fred · Post by **Fred** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 1:59 pm

I went to try to change the title of a graph by editing it in graph management, and after doing so, the graph "broke". Investigating further, none of my graphs when selected through graph management have associated data sources to choose from.

Thus, if I edit a graph, the datasource association is lost and the graph permanently broken.

Any ideas what to look for?

I'm attaching a screenshot to show you what I'm talking about. If I were to click 'save', the graph would break, and graph debug would show something like (this is a different graph):

RRDTool Command:

/usr/bin/rrdtool graph - \
--imgformat=PNG \
--start=-86400 \
--end=-300 \
--title="Prod - Used Space - hda" \
--rigid \
--base=1024 \
--height=120 \
--width=500 \
--alt-autoscale-max \
--lower-limit=0 \
--vertical-label="bytes" \
--slope-mode \
AREA:#002A97:"Total" \
GPRINT::LAST:" Current\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINT::AVERAGE:"Average\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINT::MAX:"Maximum\:%8.2lf %s\n" \
AREA:#F51D30:"Used" \
GPRINT::LAST:" Current\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINT::AVERAGE:"Average\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINT::MAX:"Maximum\:%8.2lf %s\n"

RRDTool Says:

ERROR: Not a valid vname: #002A97 in line AREA:#002A97:Total

How did you create those graphs?
And please post a screenshot of the Graph Management List

Graphs were created using the 'devices' screen, then 'create graphs for this host'. This appears to be affecting every graph on my system, so maybe an upgrade went bad? Whatever the case, I cannot make any changes to existing graphs--it just breaks the graph upon save. Clearly, though, the database knows which data sources are associated with the graph, as it works initially, just not after making any changes. I'd really rather not recreate all my graphs (which probably wouldn't help, either, since even new graphs are this way).

I'm not sure what you're looking for on the graph management list, but here's a screenshot.

That was the correct info. Will forward to a dev

Please dump and email me your database.

I will inspect by the end of week.

Ahh! This looks similar to what I'm seeing:

Sorry, didn't check back soon enough. But I sent a database dump to your email address yesterday afternoon.

Thanks.

So, my questions to ALL who are monitoring this port.

Did any of you clear the checkbox in the Graph Template to automatically name the Graph in an effort to change the names of your graphs?

Second question:

Are these problems associated with Data Query related Graph Templates or simple SNMP/Script type Graph Templates.

Please advise...

Here is what I am talking about. So, restating the question, "Did you check the checkbox in order to uniquely name all of your graphs?

So, did you dump/forward your database to Tony? Do you recall anything that you have done from the user interface relative to templating prior to this change. Did you import any templates? If you did import a template or templates, please provide the links to them. If you did make additional template changes, please describe them here.

no

i tried to make tamplate graphs few times, steps:

1) data input methods
2) data templates
3) data source
5) host template
6) device
7) graph template

graph management

without templates graphs works fine, but i want to use template, because i have many data sources and bla bla
