well, i bit the bullet and dumped mrtg for cacti and like it so far…
i imported the templates (from the cacti.net forum) for graphing jitter and rssi… jitter is graphing fine, but, rssi doesn’t produce a graph…
i’m at a loss… everything looks fine as far as the configuration in cacti goes…
i thought that maybe the firmware version of the subscriber module could be the source of the problem, but, it doesn’t seem to matter…
does anyone have a an rssi template that is working or have an idea why the one in the july 14, 2004 posting at cacti.net isn’t working?
I never got RSSI to work. Settled on dBm, jitter, traffic, and ping.
I’ve got it working. But RSSI really isn’t a something you need to graph. dbm, jitter, unicast packets, and errors are much more relivent.
Are you using the 3 files from here:
http://forums.cacti.net/about4345-0-asc-0.html
Make sure you use the March 2005 entry.
PM me and I can send you the xml file for my RSSI template.
Figured I’d just post it here for everyone else to use as well.
Just copy and paste and save as : cacti_graph_template_motorola_canopy_sm_rssi.xml
