I am trying to graph email sent/received as a link instead of bandwidth but I am receiving the actual value instead of COUNTER data, am I missing something?
I am using 0.96test with poller_output
Data Source Debug
| Code: |
/usr/local/bin/rrdtool create \
/usr/local/share/cacti/rra/dsablackberry_messagesfiltered_1033.rrd \
--step 60 \
DS:MessagesFiltered:COUNTER:120:0:1000000000 \
DS:MessagesExpired:COUNTER:120:0:1000000000 \
DS:MessagesQueued:GAUGE:120:0:1000000000 \
DS:MessagesSent:COUNTER:120:0:1000000000 \
DS:MessagesReceived:COUNTER:120:0:1000000000 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:500 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:797 \

| I don't quite follow... you would get the messages/second value, since you've chosen COUNTER as the type. Is that wrong? |

I would expect to get messages per second, but I am getting the value as it is retrieved from the device
I did not think I explained it very well
I was expecting a number that I could scale x 60 to get messages per minute
say 10/60
but instead I am getting 1348885
and next polling cycle 1348895 |

Ah, I see. Try enabling DEBUG logging for a poller cycle. You should see the data fetch/calculation stuff in the logs then. Maybe it will shed some light.
Also, do you get the same problem if you don't use poller_output? The code used to get the data is fairly different in that case. |

| It works if I turn off poller_output, but since I am using some features from that time to debug |

OK, so I can't blame rrdtool I'll take a look later this evening. |
