Hi Paolo i jsut ran into this issue to and this is what i needed to do to make it work.

In performance configuration you will have the RRD Create command something like this:

$RRDTOOL$ create $RRDNAME$ --step 300 --start n-1yr DS:HDD:GAUGE:1800:U:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:8640 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:9480

The DS name that you need to provide to Cacti is the bolded value that's what i did and it stopped giving me the error.

Thanks really much and sorry for the late!
i correct DS name as you indicated and now the error is not notified.
As in your case, I can't see any graph yet.

I compared localhost graph with the one i'm trying to plot from GW rrd file:
image1

image2
http://img23.imageshack.us/i/cactigraph.jpg/
first image is my graph definition the second is a localhost graph.
In second case there are some lines starting wit "DEF...."
and at the end there is an OK. both this things are missing in first image.

someone of you has encountered the same problem?

thanks for the help
Paolo

Hi Paolo, try running "rrdtool info" on the rrd file to get the names of the datasources it contains. I use the rrd's that are created by PNP and the data source names are numbers.

thx for the help Flyn!
bu I have encountered a problem:
I tried this way but it open a text file with strange symbol and following alert:
WARNING: old character encoding and/or character set

Hi to all,

following the instruction to implement cacti I get this error

Quote:

Trying to destroy uninitialized session in /usr/local/groundwork/core/guava/htdocs/guava/includes/sessions.inc.php

This happens when I browse

Quote:

http://<serveripaddress>/cacti/install

I am using GW 5.3 and cacti 0.8.7e.

I tried already to delete the sessions but I still have the same problem.

Any idea?

Thanks for help.
