Need help with graph title to display Aliases insted of RMON

Post by wizkidnono »

Hi.
I have several 3Com switches on our Lan and we use Cacti and rrd to monitor.
THIS IS GREAT BY THE WAY :)
Only thing is that when i add a new device it show up nicley in the list. and all the ports gets added and the post name aliasas is shown in the list.
But when i show the Graphs it outputs |query_ifDescr|/|query_ifIndex| insted og the Alias IE. It displayes RMON Port 01 on/101 insted of the Alias whitch i have put in the switch on the port number.
Does anyone know what identifier to use to get the Alias names on the Graphs title ? Or how to modify the templates .
I have solved this now by manualy editing all the headers on every single port. But there must be an easier way ..

Thanxs a bunch guys.

Well i found the query i needed.
Thought i had tryed it before but maybe i didnt have a opening or closing PIPE.

|host_description| - Traffic - |query_ifDescr|/|query_ifIndex| - |query_ifAlias|

Added |query-ifAlias| to the graph header sString and it now Displayes the Alias name :)
