I'm having a similar problem with my Cacti graphs. When I go to "Management > Data Sources" I can see that snmp is getting the description on the port:

"svt-sw5 - Traffic - Fa0/18 - Constantin 1"

However then right after I go to "Management > Graph Management" and then I locate my switch then highlight all the ports and select "Reapply Suggested Names" The port descriptions on my switch are not being added to the graph.

I have a solution.

With the green circle, I can refresh the index of the

I believe that it is due to the fact that the graph title is produced by the graph template. The graph template can use different versions of tittle (coming from Dataqueries -> SNMP - Interface Statistics -> In-out... -> Associated Graph/Data Templates [edit: SNMP - Interface Statistics])

I have change the order. I have put
title |host_description| - Traffic - |query_ifName| - |query_ifAlias| in first position

And then, I go to Graph Management -> Reapply suggested names

That's bad. In this case, the debian package is either incomplete or puts the scripts into some other directory. If possible, use tar.gz from cacti web site or use SVN.

I took a look at the deb package ( ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/cacti/cacti_0.8.7b-2_all.deb ), and the cli scripts are not there.
