Creating Summery Pages (25-48 port graphs)

[ChrisConway]

Hi Folks,

I am trying to create some graphs that summerize all the ports on a device I have (in and out on seperate graphs). I actually have a bunch of these devices, so I'd like a method that doesn't take a lot of clicking.

What I want is a graph that has a line (line1) for each port and a gprint of the current (last), max and min for each.

I have some of the 25 port devices done with a template but I have some graph item feild (data source) names that have been shortened. What I mean by this is where it should say

TC6 - Traffic - Unit 1 - Port 03

is says

TC6 - Traffic - Unit 1 - Po

I do know how to fix this. The problem is with the rrd's, so if just flush them and recreate them (now that I have longer name settings) then they'll be fine. However, I don't want to flush all my old rrd's.

The other thing is making the templates for 48 port graphs. I have a 25 port template, but making that took a while becuase I had to make 4 feilds for every source and through the web inteface that takes some time. Then, even after making that graph it takes a long time to map all of the datasources to the 48 inputs of the graph.

I have an old MRTG set up (that I don't know much about) that has this done and it looks like it wasn't too hard to do on that. Any help would really be nice!
