Ahh, I see. I was confused by the module header, it looked very much like it was actually the traffic breakdown module which shows peering/transit traffic defined by port descriptions.

Subject: RE: [Observium] How do you configure Internet traffic Today

Hi Michael,

Thank you so much for your help.

I get following output:

$config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['ids'] = "17851,17852,17853,671,672,673,674,815,816,817,818"; // COMMA SEPERATED PORT ID FOR EXAMPLE: "1,2,3,4,5"
$config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['title'] = "Internet traffic"; // Your own title for the custom traffic graphs
// Frontpage order you can use: status_summary, map, device_status_boxes, overall_traffic, custom_traffic, minigraphs, splitlog, syslog, eventlog
#$config['frontpage']['order'] = array('status_summary', 'map', 'custom_traffic', 'device_status_boxes', 'device_status', 'eventlog');
$config['frontpage']['order'] = array('status_summary', 'map', 'custom_traffic', 'minigraphs', 'micrographs', 'device_status_boxes', 'device_status', 'eventlog');

This makes sense because my graphs are labeled as "Internet traffic"

So now I just have to delete the graph IDs I do not want and add the once I do.

I have located where this is written already.

Thank you so much again. I think I got it from here.

Sorry, there's an extra ' in the command provided. It should be as follows:

grep custom_traf config.php
