Lots of Cacti Documentation Stuff

Post by gandalf »

If you're tried searching my signature or need more advanced stuff, please visit my Cacti 0.8.6 HowTo.
At time of writing, a printout would bring you about 110 pages.

Please find Debugging HowTo included.

Suggestions on improvements, corrections, new documentation requests are always welcome.

Is it possible to print the entire file, without having to individually visit each subsection? Thank you.

Is it possible that this has changed? I logged in but can't seem to find the whole document in one go.

Thanks,

If you want to you can put a pdf which should be easier on the server.

I can't send the one I made via email, attaching it to this post didn't work for some reason ("no post method specified").

sorry for this thread , but i dont find
any where one help about cdef
to understand the meaning of function from cdef

what i want to do
to make a template to be one for all sum y need
sum of 2 device or 3 or 5
and not to make a template for each other

so to make me more understand,becaus i dont write very whell

let take 2 example :
first, a template whit sum of two graph
have value in cdef define like this

Code: Select all

DEF:a="/var/www/htdocs/cacti/rra/f17_236_traffic_in_611.rrd":traffic_in:AVERAGE \
DEF:b="/var/www/htdocs/cacti/rra/f17_236_traffic_in_619.rrd":traffic_in:AVERAGE \
second, a template whit sum of thre graph
have value in cdef define like this

Code: Select all

DEF:a="/var/www/htdocs/cacti/rra/f17_236_traffic_in_611.rrd":traffic_in:AVERAGE \
DEF:b="/var/www/htdocs/cacti/rra/f17_236_traffic_in_619.rrd":traffic_in:AVERAGE \
DEF:c="/var/www/htdocs/cacti/rra/f17_236_traffic_in_620.rrd":traffic_in:AVERAGE \
so far nothing new

what y whant to make a template for x graph to be sum
any value of graph from two to x graph
in cdef function if the define value are not set at all
to be ignore

to make a function like this
cdef= a,b,+,if c not define then define c=0,+


10x for reading

Use a CDEF and specify "All Similar Data Sources (Don't include Duplicates)". The CDEF must be applied to a Graph Item that refers to a Data Source of wanted kind (e.g. if you want to aggregate all INBOUND data Sources, Graph Item must be related to an INBOUND data source).
