Tyler,

Try this.

Console->Data Queries->SNMP - Interface Statistics->(Pick one to modify. E.g. 
in/out Bits)

Add a new "Field Name" called "title" (like the rest) and make it like my top 
one below (or whatever you want).  After creation it will go to the bottom so 
you'll need to use the blue up arrow to move it to the top.

After making the change you go to "Graph Management", pick some graphs and 
choose the action "Reapply Suggested Names".

I think Cacti tries to be smart about how it picks titles for graphs.  Maybe 
something based on what data is returned from the device.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Interface Descriptions in Cacti

I ran into an issue with that showing some bizarre stuff though on like PTP800 
radios, etc. that use standard SNMP interface stats, but don't have an ifAlias 
on them.   I did something so that it was automatically propagated on our Cisco 
switches and routers, but can't for the life of me remember for sure where I 
did the change.

Better to do it in the graph template which you're using for the interface 
traffic chart on the device, rather than per-device, unless you want to do a 
lot of manual hand editing.  Edit the graph template and then save it, all 
interfaces that use that template should then automatically update htemselves.

Yep.   If you go into the graphs for the device, and change the "Title" section 
to say this:  |host_description| - Traffic - |query_ifName| - |query_ifAlias|   
 That will pull the data from the description on the port into the graph.
As George said also, you can change the data query templates  to put that in by 
default as well.

In Cacti, is there a way to make the Cisco interface descriptions show up on 
the corresponding graph?

All I currently get is the Interface name, which gets confusing at times.





Thanks
