Improved Cacti Traffic Graphs
Traffic graphs in Cacti are alright to begin with but there are a few modifications you can make to both improve the look and usefulness of them.
Something like this…
Now this isn’t my idea, a member of the Cacti forums put up a rough guide to get people going. You can view this here http://forums.cacti.net/about25415.html. However to make things simple I have attached a template which should take care of the graph template, CDEF and also includes a few other changes. I have split the graph into positive for inbound and negative for outbound traffic and added a total traffic item to the graph which I use to monitor my ADSL traffic over a period of time.

add an at the end of that last item in the traffic template, and your legend will look better, too.

an HR at the end. Your comment form doesn’t sanitize HTML, or sanitizes it a little too vigorously.
