Create RRD graphs

The declaration of a new rrd graph profile with RRD manager is performed from the graphics tab of the RRD manager user interface. You should click on the Create Button to start with the creation of a new rrd graph profile. We are speaking of profiles because we are not creating the rrd graph itself but only setting its configuration. The View button of this interface will generate and display the rrd graph after while. A rrd graph is a simple image and is created on the fly each time that it should be updated with new data coming from the RRD database.

In the screenshot above there are already many profiles declared. They have been created by RRD Collector plugin automatically working in SNMP Standard, Ping or LUA Mode. Graph profile creation is required when you are working with RRD Collector in SNMP Enhanced mode because this mode doesn’t create graph profile automatically.

A click on the Create button opens the following dialog box :

Graph Name is the name that will identify this graph profile among others.

Graph Path is the path to the rrd graph image files. This path should not be changed because the WEB server use it as is.

Creation Date : The creation date of this new rrd graph profile

Author : L’auteur The author of this new rrd graph profile

Description : A description for this rrd graph.
