Re: Can't manage LDAP users

Hi Andrew,

I have no trouble editing local Cacti users.  I can create new local users
and edit them without errors.  Editing the user I have specified as my
"LDAP Cacti Template User" gives me no trouble either.  Thanks for
looking into this.

On another note, is there any support in Cacti for SSL LDAP queries?
My local LDAP server only listens on LDAP-S (tcp/636) and so I
have to use one elsewhere on my WAN that listens on plain LDAP.

Thanks again!
Kevin

In regards to using SSL with LDAP you should be able to use
"ldaps://ldap.example.com/" rather than ldap.example.com.  Let me know
if that works for you.

Setup for a 5 minute average Bandwidth graphing

Re: Setup for a 5 minute average Bandwidth graphing

Hi William,

If I am not mistaken, it's an rrdtool issue, meaning that rrdtool takes the
RRA most appropriate to the timescale that you try to graph. If your rrd
file contains both the monthly/2hours avg and monthly/5min average, rrdtool
will take the monthly/2hrs because it generates the good number of points
for your graph.

Have you tried to suppress the normal monthly (2hrs avg) from your template
?

In the end, depending on the size of your graph, and thus the level of
detail, I am not sure that doing what you do will be relevant. You may have
to few pixels to graph all the points of the RRA and then the graph will
have a weird graphical effect.

Please correct me if I am mitaken :)

Vincent.

Has anyone had any luck setting up Cacti to show a 5 minute average not
just on a daily basis?

I am running Cacti 0.8.5 Ve
By default Cacti will graph bandwidth based on the RRA as follows:

Consolidation Functions = Average and Max for all

                                               steps    rows     timespan
X-Files Factor
Daily (5 Minute Average)            1           600       86400
0.5
Weekly (30 Minute Average)       6          700       604800
0.5
Monthly (2 Hour Average)           24        775       2678400
0.5
Yearly (1 Day Average)              288       797       33053184
0.5

I added a new RRA as:
Monthly2(5 Minute Average)       1          8928      2678400
0.5

I then select "Monthly2 (5 Minute Average)" under Data Templates in
Interface - Traffic - in and - out

When I compare the "Monthly2 (5 Minute Average)" graph  against the
"Monthly (2 Hour Average)" graph they grow the same and the max and current
Mb are the same?

What am I doing wrong?  I have looked over the docs and as far as I can
tell this should work? I think my math on the RRA's Im looking for are:

Daily (5 Minute Average)  1  600    86400     0.5 "Stays the same"
Weekly (5 Minute Average) 1  2016   604800    0.5
Monthly (5 Minute Average)1  8928   2678400   0.5
Yearly (5 Minute Average) 1  105120 33053184  0.5

Thanks for your help

Bill Richardson

Maybe wrong SNMP community, access-list on the router, or the server
running cacti couldn't send snmp query to the device.

ndr.

Re: ERROR : When i add the device

when i test manual using $snmpwalk -c public ip_add 
the result is Ok, no error.

i think thereis no problem with snmp community and the accesst list

thanks,

Munir

Maybe you have set the wrong path to your snmpwalk binary. Have a look 
at CONSOLE -> CACTI SETTINGS -> PATH.

cheers,

Request : Multiscale graph

Hello everybody,

I'm a french fan of cacti,
I'm searching for some feature wich allow to display a multiscale graph
in order to graph various type of data in one draw.
I think it is a limitation on rrdtool...

Thanks !

Port ordering of switch

Howdy, first time on this list.  I got cacti working great but I'm sure
I will have some questions. Here is the first two:   

1)  I am monitoring a 3Com 3900 SuperStack 39 port switch. (36 -
ethernet, 3 - gbic).   The monitoring is working but when it displays it
shows the graphs in weird numeric order :
1
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
2
20
21

and so on, you get the idea.  Is there any way way to order them in the
normal numeric way?

2)  Closely related to that last question,  I would like to show my
traffic graphs for hosts at the top of the page instead of the bottom.
How is that achieved?

Thanks for your time,

dave coursey
