Discussion:
[cacti-user] dual axis graphs

Hi,

I have been able to create a graph template to dual graph one of my
interfaces. However, the outbound current, average and maximum readings are
all in the negative. I'd like to have these as positive so that they can
reflect the true reading. Maximum can read -161Kbps and Current read
-1203Kbps and the maximum remains unchanged at -161Kbps.

Is there a way I can retain the dual graphs but have the negative Y-axis
readings as positive and reflecting the true value for each reading.

Please see attached image for an example.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.

Don't apply the "make negativ" CDEF to the LEGEND items. Use default "Tunr bytes
to bits" instead

Thanks for your response.

I dont quite understand what you mean. I created a new CDEF that looks like
this:

cdef=CURRENT_DATA_SOURCE,-8,*

I called it, "Make Stack Negative, Turn Bytes into bits" to get the negative
Y-axis to graph. If I used the default "Turn bytes into bits" then it graphs
on the positive Y-axis.

For this graph, the graph item CDEF function has this new CDEF selected. If
i used the default "Turn bytes into bits" I end up with a positive graphing
on the Y-axis.
