HOW TO sepcify rrd path ?

[Barichon]

Hello guys,

I created a data input method (php script) to create graph passing these input string:

-<name>
-<rrd>
-<color>

But I don't know how to specify rrd path (rrd's location)...
Does someone could help me please I spent a huge amount of time without finding the tips...

Hello Gandalf,

Same problem here, i dont understand how to link existing data sources and custom data, in a graph template, i use the cli : add_graphs.php and i have set input method to be able to define an existing rrd file with that cli, in the doc i have see :

Data Input Method :
Here is where you tell cacti how it is supposed to fetch data for this data source. There are several data input sources that come with cacti, and you can add your own by going to Data Input Methods. If this RRD file is being populated outside of cacti, make sure to leave this field set to "None".

So for my understanding, i try to use input method to define a datasource, but i dont seem to be the right way to do that
Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards,

No way to add external rrd using input method via add_graph.php,

No way to add external rrd using data template via add_graph.php.
