Some strange things 0.6.5

[harlin]

Hi,

Using Cacti 0.6.5 on a Sun Ultra 10 running debian.

The new export function is great, I am planning to use rsync for transporting the graphs to a public server. The main reason for this is I don't want public access to a system which has direct access to switches and routers.

I migrated from cacti 0.6.3 to cacti 0.6.3 and I noticed some strange things, not all te graphs are made, I miss the preview graphs in the tree function. Some data sources are shown like it used to be (webhits, process, ping) some of them doesn't show up. (like load mem usage). This worked for me before.

The network devices are polled by the buildin snmp function which doesn't produce value's in the 'cron output menu'

Feature request. By adding a network device/interface could there a option to turn bytes into bits? Now you have to modify each line in the graphs menu.

with kind regards

Yes, those are some strange things you mentioned. I am not sure why data sources would suddenly disappear, but this is most likely the cause for some of your broken graphs. I guess you could try adding those data sources back, if there were only a few, to see if that fixed your graphs.

Yes, the cron printout will not show the full output for SNMP stuff anymore, because there isn't anything to show because cacti does not call a binary anymore.

I will probably include the option for bits->bytes in the 'Make Graph' section in the next version.

Hi,

Upgrading to newest rrdtool worked out fine, I got graphs

Keep up the good work.

Hi,

Hmmm one thing, monitoring a port-channel doesn't produce data / graphs.
The interfaces is discovered correctly with the snmp interfaces menu.
(100 Port-channel1 2000 mbit)
Doing a snmpwalk on the right OID produces data.

nb.
A channel is a group of physical interfaces found on a network device. Ie. you can combine 4 Gigabit interfaces in one port channel. With MRTG you can monitor the channel OR putting the 4 interfaces in the config seperated with the + sign.
