Memory, Disk Size value in Mb, Gb

Post by shinju »

Hai, i'm start using cacti to monitoring server. Is there's any config to change the value of kilobytes, or Megabyte to Gigabyte? Because when i see in the graph it's show 8M but the right value of physical memory is 8G.
Not only the memory, value of disk also not same with the physical value.

Here i attach the example graph.

Any advice?

Thanks,
Shinju

Just ofr your info, look at that graphs in more detail.

It sais "kilobyte" to the very left.

If you chang the unit from M ( million ) to G ( Giga ) then you essentially increase the unit.

In your first graph it was stating: 8M kilobytes = 8.000.000 * 1024 bytes = 8192000000 bytes = 8 Gb

Now changing the unit to G, the 0.0 is just fine as: 1G kilobytes = 1.000.000.000 * 1024 byts = 1 TB.

So your first graph was correct, your 2nd one is also correct, only that 8 GB is about 0.008 TB, and rounding that value will yield 0.0 which your graph does show ...
