Thread closed. New Version 0.70 is published right now Updated code V0.66 attached to this post (see below) Support added for PIA 2.0 and Cacti 087
This plugin is the new version of my Aggregate Plugin V0.2 (See this url for some more statements and images)
Installation:
- tar -zxf into ./plugins/aggregate folder
- change ./include/config.php to add the plugins line for "aggregate", as usual No more need to manually import the table sql
Learn from README
When aggregating, you will be prompted
- Title Format:
Enter a new title for the Template.
- GPRINT Prefix:
Enter an optional GPRINT Prefix, e.g. |host_hostname|-|query_ifDescr|
- Graph Type:
Select one of the following
Keep Graph Types - no changes to Graph Item Type
Make it an AREA/STACK Graph - create an AREA/STACK Graph
Make it a LINE1 Graph - convert to LINE1
- Graph Template Items
Select a given Color Template to change the color of a Graph Item
Select the "<HR>" checkbox to set a linebreak for that graph item
Select the "Skip" checkbox to suppress this Graph Item for the Aggregate
See examples attached

--- 0.6 ---
Added checkboxes for <HR>. On specific Graph Templates, it will not be possible
to compute all needed <HR>s. So we prompt you to set them manually.
bug: LINEx graphs converted to AREA/STACK will now have AREA on the first graph items
--- 0.5 ---
Managing of Color Templates
Referring to Color Templates allows for different colors for same data source
--- 0.4 ---
Add skipping of selected Graph Items
--- 0.3 ---
Add Graph Type Conversion
--- 0.2 ---
First public release, very basic functions
--- 0.1 ---
Initial release, first shown at 1.CCC.eu, the 1. European Cacti Community
Conference.
Please share your knowledge with me and post those errors (or better: fixes, if you were able to solve them). Please bear in mind, that my development environment still contains fragments of "new approaches". This may cause problems with incomplete packaging.

Hello Gandalf,
there is a patch in the package. Do I have to apply the patch? It's not mentioned anywhere.
And btw. there is no entry in the action menu on the Graph Management page. I can not even activate it under realm permissions.
The patch is needed for plugin arch v1.0 only. Arch V1.1 includes the needed hooks (Thanks to cigamit). So if you're still running the V1.0, apply the patch.
Realms are currently not needed. But without the correct hooks (be it via patch or via Arch V1.1) you won't see the new Action

Ok, I've checked my installation. It is plugin archiceture v1.1. But no menu entry in the graph management section:(
Is there a possibility to debug a plugin somehow?

Solved. One might add the necessary line to the config.php...

Yes. I've left lots of debugging stuff in the code. It's always a three-liner, calling the cacti_log function. Un-comment those statements and find results in the cacti.log. It works for DEBUG=LOW (to prevent lots of messages when running on DEBUG level). You may want to
on a second xterm session while performing the tests.
If there's anyone out there, who is able to tell me about web-debugging running Eclipse with PHP IDE, I really would be glad.

I'm pretty new to cacti and the aggregate plugin, but so far I really love it!
I managed to create a graph that shows the aggregated traffic of both my routers in one graph. I there a way to have the aggregated "Total In" and "Total Out" and not the separated values?
- Need for filtering Graph Items /Data Sources
You will not always want to include all Graph Items available. You may want to omit e.g. certain Comments are even a complete Data Source.
I'm planning to promt the user with a Graph Items List made up from the first Graph (or the Graph Template of the first Graph which should produce quite teh same results). Each Graph Items line of this list would show a "Skip this Item" checkbox. When checked, this Graph Item will be skipped for all graphs to be aggregated
- Need for Colorization
Graph Items will have same color in most cases. Ugly. I'm planning to allow for creating "Color Templates". They simply will be an ordered list of color tags, e.g. from light red to deep red (This code is already available).
Then, I'd like to associate each Graph Item of the above list with any single Color Template. This should yield the following result:
Graph Item of 1st Graph = 1st Color of the Color Template
Graph Item of 2nd Graph = 2nd Color of the Color Template
...
This part is still missing and would take some time for me as an unexperienced php coder.
Another option would be:
Increment color_id from Graph Item to Graph Item. But this may produce ugly colorization. I already coded this some weeks ago, but was not satisfied
First off, thanks gandalf, this plugin is very nice and something I was looking for.
Is there any chance that you might have plans to add in a sort of "time span" feature? I'm trying to compare one graph/data source over two different time spans.
So for example I could create a comparison of the data from graph one for the first week of January VS. the data from graph one for the first week of February.
