Darien,

You need to do this in the Custom field of a graph object. You can click on data sources needed and they will be created with DEF statements. Take a look at the utilization graph for the Filesystem RRDTemplate in /Server as an example. You can also reference model values as this graph does by doing ${here/value}. In the Filesystem graph we get the totalBlocks of a file system this way.

I need help with somebody who has used RPN fields for RRDDataSource.



Under Devices/PerfConf/ethernetCsmacd I am trying to create more meaningful graphs by using RPN fields within RRDDataSource. The issue I have is how CDEF or VDEF variables are referenced within the RPN stack expression.



As an example to compute input error percentage on a port I did the following



1. RRD data source ifInErrors had the following in the RPN field



CDEF:input_errors=ifInErrors



2. RRD data source ifInUcastPkts had the following in the RPN field



CDEF:input_packets=ifInUcastPkts



3. Created a new RRD data source (INPUT_ERRORS) with no OID but with the following in the RPN field



            CDEF:input_errors,input_packets,DIV



4.         Created graph for INPUT_ERRORS





In the above example I get no graph ..... do I have to use or reference things differently within the RPN field? The admin guide makes no mention about this feature.



Any help would be much appriciated.



Darien
