1. is it possible to have multiple sources of data or script data =
showing on same chart. that is showing 2 different data sources on a =
single graph.=20
Absolutely - I did this the manual way, by created a custom graph and =
adding in the datasources - I believe the plugin "aggregate 0.7" now =
allows you to pick and choose which items to place on a single graph and =
will prove to be an excellent improvement on manually adding multiple =
datasources - once you install the plugin architecture (it is well worth =
doing) it is a simple step to enable multiple plugins that extend cacti =
incredibly, my favourites are superlinks (for extra tabs), weathermap =
(for great flow diagrams) and thold, for threshold alerting.
2. is it possible for cacti to represent data sources in different types =
of graphs. that is having something like pie or bar chart, instead of =
the default ways it graphs?
Not that I'm aware of - Cacti uses RRDTool to store and display data =
captured, this isn't something I've come across and think is beyond =
RRDTools capabilities (but sounds interesting!) - I'd look into RRDTool =
docs for this, but assume not
3. Is it possible also for cacti to represent a graph of more than 1 =
machines scripts on a graph?=20
As with 1. - this is definitely do-able, I graph multiple PDU's to =
capture power from rows of racks in data centres, manually as I have =
done or via the afore mentioned aggregate plugin
Hope that helps,
Thanks,
Larry
