Basic cacti from script to graph

November 15, 2005 at 11:31 am · Filed under Datacenter

Setting up cacti is a bit confusing at first. By using the method I did to configure snmp, it’s easy to see how to configure scripts to return data at certain MIB numbers.

The main thing to be clear on when setting up cacti is the sequence you go through to get a graph up.

  1. Create a device
  2. Create a Data Input Method
  3. Create a Data Source
  4. Create a Graph
  5. Add Graph to Graph View

For details, there is a good walkthrough at Simplest Method of Going from Script to Graph.
