<p class=MsoNormal>I am fairly new to troubleshooting rrd files, so please be
patient with me.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am trying to graph the memory usage of a device. I can successfully
capture the oid value, but I think it is in the wrong place in the rrd file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What I am seeing is:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><ds><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>

<p class=MsoNormal> </ds><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The < last_ds> of 260580 is actual data from the oid,
which I thought would also be the “value”. What am I doing wrong
here? Where is the <value> coming from?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This rrd file is being generated in Cacti if that helps and
within Cacti I have the following values set:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Data source = memory<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Minimum value = 0<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Maximum value = 100000000 (this is artificially high right
now while I figure out the value problem)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Data Source Type = Counter<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Heartbeat = 600<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any help would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
