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". [cid:[email protected]] 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.

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.

Edit the graph template and then save it, all interfaces that use that template should then automatically update htemselves.

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.

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