New graphs not displaying correctly

[andy73]

When I add new interface (in/out bits/sec) graphs now, I get double of everything. Doesn't matter what platform it is (eg: Cisco 7600, 6500, other devices). I get two inbound and two outbound graphs overlayed on top of each other like shown. It was working fine with the first few devices , but now all newly added devices are showing this characteristic.

What's causings this? So far I've added about 10 devices each with about 100-250 interfaces that are UP. Is there some limit to the number of interfaces I can add? Is my polling out of whack? Why two inbound and two outbound graphs? Help please...

Did you import Cisco Nexus Template in the past?

That host template seems to replace default "Interface" template.
(Probably it was created by modifying default template)

Host Template

[success] Cisco Nexus [new]

Graph template "Interface - Traffic (bits/sec)" (default):


Graph template "Interface - Traffic (bits/sec)" (after importing that template):


To revert to default, for example, try this..

1) Obtain original template
Here is a sample "Interface" graph template set which I've exported from plain Cacti 0.8.7g.

cacti_graph_template_interface_087g.zip

(24.63 KiB) Downloaded 259 times

2) In graph template settings, remove all graph items and click [Save] (Don't delete the template itself)

3) Import original template

Good luck! (but I don't warrant whether this will solve the issue, sorry..)

[andy73]

Thanks noname for the reply.

I imported the interface template you attached but it only introduced more graph items under the Interface - Traffic (bits/sec) graph template.

So I don't know if this is a good thing or not, but I just deleted all the new graph items introduced by the nexus template and the recently imported interface template to make it look like the default graph template you posted.

Any issues with this you think?

Cheers.

?
To summarize the procedure of my previous post,
1) Delete all graph items in the broken graph template
2) Import original (default) graph template

Is it the same as the thing you did?

[andy73]

Thanks for that.

I didn't delete the graph template for "Interface - Traffic (bits/sec)" - so it must have just overlayed the imported template on top of it.

I followed your instructions and deleted the graph template for "Interface - Traffic (bits/sec)" and re-imported the default template for it and it's all good.

Appreciate the help.

Cheers.

Oops, you don't have to delete graph template itself.
Probably that will unlink bindings between existing graphs and datasources (and you'll have to reapply new graph template).
It needs to delete only graph "items" within the graph template..

But anyway, if you have solved this issue, I'm glad to hear that. :)

[andy73]

Thanks for your help noname.

I had the same issue but instead of deleting the graphs or templates I did a recovery from a previous existing data dump I took.

Hi

I wonder if you can help - I did this:
1) Delete all graph items in the broken graph template
2) Import original (default) graph template

but now I get a red cross instead of the graph

checking the 'graph debug mode' I get:
RRDTool Command:

/usr/bin/rrdtool graph - \
--imgformat=PNG \
--start=-86400 \
--end=-300 \
--title='Airdrie-Core-A - Traffic - Fa7/4' \
--rigid \
--base=1000 \
--height=120 \
--width=500 \
--alt-autoscale-max \
--lower-limit='0' \
--vertical-label='bits per second' \
--slope-mode \
--font TITLE:10: \
--font AXIS:7: \
--font LEGEND:8: \
--font UNIT:7: \
RRDTool Says:

I have seen from other posts that the line before "RRDTool Says" should be DEF etc and after I should get "ok"

I have spent hours trying to fix this to no avail, including changing permissions on /usr/bin/rrdtool

My RRD files are being updated as I can see the date/time updating. I have Weathermap installed and the circuits are changing colour but the overlib popups also have a red cross

[ebitda]

red crosses instead of graphs.....

so I did this to fix the graph itself:

Form the latter link:
This shows which are corrupt: php repair_graphs.php --check --data-template-id=41 --graph-template-id=2
This fixes them: php repair_graphs.php --execute --data-template-id=41 --graph-template-id=2


all back to normal now
