Cacti template for GTM

Here's my first crack at a template for GTM (included in the archive is also the LTM template). Note that you will need to have at least 0.8.7a installed to import the templates.

 

 

You'll notice that the global DNS graphs are line based and the wideIP graphs are stacked. There's no reason, I just haven't decided which I like better, so if you want to make them consistent this is done in the graph template.

    to get cacti installed, did you have to install anything else on your bigip? or just download install install cacti straight on?

    I would not recommend installing cacti on your F5 hardware. I installed on a old PC that is running freeBSD.

    Hi

     

     

    I have a question, have 9.4.3HF3 GTM and the oid

     

     

    .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.3.12.2.3.1.10 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID

     

     

    and in the .xml

     

     

     

    Alternate

     

    walk

     

    value

     

    output

     

    .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.3.12.2.3.1.6

     

     

     

     

    Alternate is not into F5 MIBs only have .1 to .9 and not have Alternate data...is strange and .6 have Fallbak and so on.

     

     

    You know for what reason Alternate data is not into mibs?

    adding templates will not break what you already have.

    That question would probably be better answered in the Cacti forums. I'm guessing that if your rate is less than 1/second and you don't have a scaling setting set correctly that it averages you out and auto-scale prints the sub-one number. Remember that the rrd values are just stored data, the graphs utilize business rules (CDEF) to represent the delta's for those values.

    I've worked on this hours on end. No result yet. What are your scale settings and what CDEFs are you using for the graphs?

     

     

    Currently, in the graph templates for the Global DNS and WIPs graphs all the items for CDEF are set to none.

     

     

    Below are my current scaling settings.
