Inbound and Outbound Same on Traffic Graphs

[cymba]

Hey guys,

I was troubleshooting the fact that in some of my high traffic graphs values over 114Mb weren't being shown properly. I found the problem mentioned on the forums so proceeded to change those particular devices to SNMP v2. I was looking around to find any mention of 64bit counters in the templates but didn't find anything.

However I made a small change to the data sources in the templates but undid them afterwords. But next thign I know ALL my Traffic bits/sec graphs had the outbound being drawn being the same as the inbound data. Contrary to the results in the legend. I've checked and rechecked everthing including importing the template from another installation of cacti but the graphs are still not rendered properly. I'm running 0.86i on CentOS 4.3.

I've included an example graph and its RRD command.

/usr/local/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool graph - \

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

your line is pointing to cdefa and not cdeff as it should.

Hmm I figured it was something like that but I was looking thru all the template settings etc and I wasn't finding where to set it back to the proper data source. Can u direct me to the correct setting?

Please select the 4th item of your Graph Template (the one that uses LINE1, color 002A97) and change it to point to the correct data source

Its currently pointing to the right Data source now but ALL my graphs based on this template have the same problem now. So even tho the template looks correct the graphs aren't reflecting the change. Is there a way to reset all the outbound datasource or am I going to have to do this manually?

Well, don't panic, your data is still there, you just need to spend a little time with the template.
