Customizing graphs

[Deleted User][Deleted User]
edited July 2008 in Monitoring Software v12 and lower
I know that the graphs are based on RRD tools and it is open source, I've used it with Cacti in the past. How do you customize an existing graph inside ServersCheck? Can I make a new graph that can be used in ServersCheck?



Examples

1. I want to add a horizontal line that represents our CIR for a T1 or a line that represents a threshold that triggers an alarm so you can tell when it comes close to being triggered (temperature or UPS load)



2. Say I want to stack two data points to show a total of the two combined, the two data points would be different colors. E.g. a bandwidth graph: I want inbound (green) and outbound (blue) bandwidth stacked one on top of the other so the sum total would be clearly visible. Throw the horizontal line on for our CIR and I can easily tell when we are using most of our bandwidth



There are many graphs that would want but I don't want to go back to running Cacti



Thanks

    It is possible to have automatically graphs customized and refreshed every 5 minutes.



    Create a Trend Analysis Graph and save it (scheduled). It will store the graph definition in a file called scheduled.graphs in the /graphs subdirectory.



    Open the file with notepad.



    Each line represents a graph that is being automatically refreshed.

    Is it possible to modify the graphs that display for a monitored item under the Dashboard views?



    I want to add a line to what I see or maybe combine two lines in those graphs, I don't want to bother with a custom report. RRD tools should allow that but I cannot find where the graphs are.

    The dashboard graphs are generated by default. Custom graphs are visible through the reporting interface.
