Autm8 tree rules question

Post by justin911 »

Hi Guys

First off, loving this autom8 plugin its great :)

Ive got a question regarding Autom8 tree rules.. Ill use the example from the autom8 manual as im having similar results in my scenario.

In the Autom8 manual down the end it talks about creating the tree's for the interfaces graphs for the localhost machine.
It shows you the output of the "show tree's" which looks like the following

Localhost at home
--- e0

Localhost At home
--- l0

I see the same on my system.

When you actualy go into 'graph managment' and apply the auto8 filters and have a look at the tree thats been created, i see this -

-default
--localmachine
----linux
-------e0
----------e0-graph
----------l0-graph

It seems to always want to use the top header... e0 in this case.

How do i go about making it come up as this (as i hoped it would from the "show tree's)

-default
--localmachine
----linux
-------e0
----------e0-graph
-------l0
----------l0-graph



Hope you all know what im on about... :)

thanks heaps

Justin

I fear that I know.
It might happen, that the "preview" mode does not honour "Suggested Names" for data queries. So it takes the "standard" title for preview. But then it happens, that the "suggested" title is used in real life.
That's just guesswork. I'd happily accept a full bug report at http://bugs.cacti.net (please use the plugin section). For testing, I can drop you a "devel" edition of autom8 if you pm your EMail

btw how do i get the auto tree creating working ?
I have enabled it in setting -> misc.

I assumed once i created the graphs for the device (using autom8) the tree creation would start to do its thing without me going into graph management ?

You have to enable each tree rule as well
