New rrdtool breaking cacti graphs..

Post by ChrisHaulmark »

I'm running FreeBSD 5.3. I noticed that when I upgraded rrdtool to 1.2.6, the graphs in cacti were invisble. None of this broken images with red X or even zooming in helped.

Under my investigation, I discovered that I needed to add a backslash to escape the : (colon) character in those lines that start with COMMENT.

I guess that means there's going to be either a patch or upgrade required for Cacti.

You must be running Cacti 0.8.6d. Then Goto Settings->General and change the RRDTool version.

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?

Ok sorry. Let me go and hide in a dark corner.

Somehow I overlooked it when I was looking for any options related to rddtool.
