Dynamic Graph Generation

Post by ksto »

I would like to use cacti for a home research project involving measuring wireless signal and noise ratios for multiple SSIDs.

I'm using a php script to gather the data from a wireless client. I currently have a graph generated for one SSID that shows signal and noise. I would like to expand this graph generation to all SSIDs in range of the wireless client.

How would I go about generating a graph per SSID that contains two data elements: signal and noise? I am able to create individual graphs manually, but I don't know how to go about handling an unknown number of SSIDs.

You shoud check the documentation about data queries:
(http://docs.cacti.net/node/499).
It allows to handle an array of results, and dynamically associate graph to each row.
Setting it can be quite difficult, but after that using it is really easy.
