Thanks for the quick reply.

Starting from the Console: Import/Export -- Browse -- (location of 6500 switch template) -- save

I get the following feedback:

No. Importing Templates was ok, changing them was not that good of an idea

Please re-create or re-import.
You'll have to apply the Graph Template/Data Query to a host, as usual. Then "Create Graphs for this Host", select the new ones and go

Starting from scratch here is the process I take to add the template:

1) Import/Export 6500-template
2) Go to Data Templates to verify new templates - (I see the new templates)
3) Go to Host Templates and see Cisco 6500
4) Within Cisco 6500 Host Template I have:
Associated Graph Templates
* 1 Cisco - CPU Usage
* 2 Cisco - Memory Usage
* 3 Cisco - Temperature
* 4 Cisco Catalyst - Sys Traffic Usage Peak

Associated Data Queries
* SNMP - Interface Statistics
5) Go to Graph Templates to verfiy new templates. I see these new graphs
* 1 Cisco - Memory Usage
* 2 Cisco - Temperature
* 3 Cisco Catalyst - Sys Traffic Usage Peak
6) Go to Devices
7) Select my 6500 Switch, which is currently receiving interface statistics

Add the following to Associated Graph Templates
* 1 Cisco - CPU Usage
* 2 Cisco - Memory Usage
* 3 Cisco - Temperature
9) Verify Associated Data Queries within Devices. I get the following:
* SNMP - Get Processor Information Success [0 Items, 0 Rows] * SNMP - Interface Statistics Success [2905 Items, 363 Rows]
10) Select Create Graphs For this Host
11) Check the check boxes for the following:
* Create: 1 Cisco - CPU Usage
* Create: 2 Cisco - Memory Usage
* Create: 3 Cisco - Temperature
* Create: 4 Cisco Catalyst - Sys Traffic Usage Peak
12) After creation I get the following feedback:

It's been awhile and I'm still not getting these stats, but would really really like to. Any ideas? Possibly as far as me not enabling the snmp's on the correct interface of the switch?

So....everything is working for me with the exception of temp - anyone have the OID for that?

<I haven't found one that works for this switch on Cisco's site or searching the SNMP walk>

Also, isn't there an OID for *current* backplane load/traffic? This template appears to be looking at the last high load - or, highest load since counters were last cleared.

What about 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.1.8 ??

I have seen previous posts that talk about the problem with Catalyst and capturing the ifAlias.

Has anyone created a Cacti template that can pull the ifAlias field into Cacti (using the module and port numbers)?

Thanks.

I'm noticing that people are discussing problems getting interface descriptions when running CatOS.

But I'm running IOS, and I have interface descriptions.
And not seeing them reflected in graphs using this template.

Is ifAlias in CatOS the same thing as interface description in IOS??

If so, how do I get my graphs to use the interface description in the graph title??

because it sounds like it should work, at least in IOS.

THe cisco 3560 uses IOS not CatOS. So the standard Cisco Host template working out of the box, you don't need this template.
