Traffic Graph Change - No Update

Post by natrlhy »

I have several network graphs that I have been capturing information on and graphing just fine.

Under Console -> Data Sources -> (Edit) and editing the traffic graph, I have changed the Custom Data; Output Type ID from In/Out Bits to In/Out Bits with Total Bandwidth.

However the graphs do not reflect the change and do not show the Total Out: information on the graph.

How do I update the graphs and still retain the old data or is this possible?

Thanks!

Hi

you should also change the graph template (from "Interface - Traffic (bits/sec)" to "Interface - Traffic (bits/sec, Total Bandwidth)").

fmangeant,

Thanks! When I went into Console -> Graph Management and looked at the template names they were Interface - Traffic (bits/sec)

I changed the ones I wanted to Interface - Traffic (bits/sec, Total Bandwidth) after the next poll it updated the graph with the current total bandwidth.

Many thanks!

After making the above changes the Total Out bytes always stays at 0. The graph is updated but just not this value. Is there something else I need to do? I've tried Rebuilding the Poller Cache in Console -> Utilities but that didn't resolve this.

Thanks!

Not sure where I had this issue when I originally posted, but I'm getting this again with a new install...

I had to go into each graph and ensured that each graph was pointing to the correct Inbound Data Source (traffic_in) and Outbound Data Source (traffic_out) source. Each one I had to click save for it to work.
