Graph combinations

Post by adrianmarsh »

Some ideas for adding functionality to the graphs:

- Ability to select and then combine Graphs/Datasource into one graph, without having to manually add each DS and legend.

- Ability to "watch" a host, and then create/add DS's and graphs if new interfaces are added, either adding individual graphs, or adding them to the combined idea above.

How did you even manage to do that? care to share:) ... I am trying to create a graph which will show utilization of number of device in one line vs number of device in other line (to compare the load)...

Once you have all your seperate data sources setup, then you basically combine them onto one graph. I'd walk you through it, but my instance of Cacti is now messing up when I click New Graphs..

Hi Larry - nope, in this case dumb user error...

ichoudhury: Create the DSs, then goto Graph Manage -> Add -> Leave both GT and host as None, then create the graph (Create) and add the Data Sources in. Up to you as to what you want to add then.

Ah nice... I am sure I will have a use for it sometime...

I was hopping more like

Add host1 + host3 + host5+ host7 / 4 = Line1 represent Odd servers average

Add host2 + host4 + host6 + host8 /4 = Line2 represent even server

................This way I could say ...here ya go, this is the overall CPU utilization in Odd servers Vs even.... Ah, just wishing away... but got to get this.... :roll:

This is a long standing "wizard" type request, to select multiple data sources and then apply some simple algorythm to build a graph with alll the trimmings. Still looking for a user contrib of course. Times precious.
