bug in 0.8.3a?

Post by chird »

Hi,

I don't know whether this has been solved already, but I see the following:

When having changed the title of a graph, the 'template' value |query_ifAlias| is not seen as a template value anymore, and appears literally in graph titles.

Example:
Before the edit:
switch.domain.nl - Traffic - Fa0/42 - myhost.mydomain.nl
after the edit:
switch.domain.nl - Traffic - |query_ifAlias| - myhost.mydomain.nl

ENV:
RH Linux 9.0, Cacti 0.8.3a
Regards,
Geert

If Cacti cannot find data for a graph variable, it will display it literally on the graph as you have seen. I suspect that you might be using |query_ifAlias| where you mean to use |query_ifName|. Does it make any difference if you make this change?

Yups, indeed this does the trick, thanks!

Has this something to do with the swap between ifAlias and ifName (between 0.8.2 and 0.8.3a or something) I read about in the forums?

That would be my guess. I messed up ifName and ifAlias in versions 0.8 and 0.8.1, so I attempted to fix it for 0.8.2. Regardless, I must have missed a few spots which is what you are most likely still seeing.
