Hi,

I can confirm, created 2 95th percentile graphs on my Cacti 0.8.6i test environment and both graphs do not show up.

When I debug the graph Cacti shows the RRD syntax, but "RRDTOOL Says" -> Nothing

The graphs are displayed when I add the ":2" like specified in the previous posts. I created a bug report.

I will be honest, I had to go back and really look at this issue.

There was a change made to the code, and it was to fix a minor bug. A bug that did not make it required to have the ":2" at the end of the variable. Unfortunatly, even if you had ":2" or ":3" at the end, it always defaulted to a value of "2".

This was silently "fixed" by me and not put in the change log....

I will talk to Ian about potientially reversing the change and or updating the documentation to reflect the requirement of this field.

95th percentile graph also gone after upgrade to 0.8.6j

Post by cebye »

I also experienced the 95th Percentile graphs going away after a Cacti upgrade. We are attempting to upgrade from 0.8.6g to 0.8.6j. Are there any other clues to fix this problem?

Most of our graphs are using the 95th Percentile template and no longer display. This is also true for any new 95th Percentile graphs (they do not display). Graphs using other templates continue to work just fine (existing and new).

I re-imported the 95th Percentile XML template from the Forum without fixing the problem:
http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t ... c&start=30

We are running the following configuration:
SLES9 SP3
php4 4.3.4-43.46.3
mySQL 4.0.18-32.20
rrdtool 1.0.49-1.dag

Is there a fix available for this problem?

Thank you!

Update: 3 graph templates not displaying with 0.8.6j upgrade

Post by cebye »

After further testing, graphs using the following templates are not displayed after upgrade from 0.8.6g to 0.8.6j:
o Traffic (bits/sec, 95th Percentile, Total Bandwidth)
o Traffic (bits/sec, Total Bandwidth)
o Traffic (bytes/sec, Total Bandwidth)

Also, I have already applied the 3 patches identified for 0.8.6j:
o SNMP Ping Method Faulty for PHP Version 4.x
o Tree View Console Missing Hosts
o Problems Displaying RRDtool Graph Thumbnails

(See previous post for more information)

Any suggestions will be welcomed!

Solution: Fix thumbnail_graphs_not_working.patch file

Post by cebye »

As described in recent post, changed apparent typo in lib/rrd.php:
http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?p=92016

After changing $command_string to $comment_string in the thumbnail_graphs_not_working.patch file for lib/rrd.php, all graphs are displaying properly again.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Ok, I decided to speak more. Thanks for the catch. I admit, I don't QA this stuff enough. I sent a note to Ian to revise the patch to remove my offeding mod.

Thanks to savagemindz for finding the problem

Post by cebye »

I am just happy to resolve the problem as we are planning to release the new version tomorrow. Now, I just need to put it in an RPM.

It would be great to have the patch file updated so other people do not have the same issue.
