Traffic Measuremnet unit in RRD graphs

[zaji_nms]

Dear Expert,

is there any way to auto scale x-y axis unit in network traffic utilization graphs ? as of now i have observed it's a static unit Kb/Mb/Gb but if traffic pattern change from K to M and M to G and vice versa y-axis values changes ( for exp my traffic utilization is 0.01Mb/s current ; 0.07Mb/s Maximum for which it shows y-axis scale 0 to 500m as a technically i can understand that it's 10e-3 kb/s but as a non technical customer it's difficult to convince them every time. please give us update on this subject as soon as early. check the attached graph for more details.

So you are looking for dynamic scaling as the data throughput changes? I am not sure that is totally possible with PNP graphs, you can take a look at the graph templates used by your hosts/services here:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/share/pnp/templates/

yes i am looking dynamic scaling since traffic pattern never b the same. i know the dir path of the pnp template but how it would help me to get my work done.

Short answer - no. The y axis in pnp graphs are configured on creation. If you wish to have a a different unit for the y axis, you will need to configure that at creation. You can use templates to alter the y axis, but there is no easy way to dynamically change the y axis unit.
