logarithmic y-axis scaling

Post by clarkjohnken »

It would be great if you could add a checkbox for the -o parameter for rrdtool in the graph-configuration window. i often have the problem, that the traffic-analysis graphs have quite high "bursts", i.e. from the backup, logarithmic scaling would be great for this.
Or is there already a possibility to add this feature per-graph?

If this is a new feature, you would be best opening a feature request on GitHub.

It's already supported 'auto_scal_log' == 'on'. Or from the GUI, look for "--logarithmic".

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
