RRDTool Customisation
Hi All,
What could be a silly question - Is there a straightforward switch or option to alter the RRDtool formatting from the default “opposing” format for Upload/Download, to an overlaid format in network traffic graphing?
Current opposing format https://ibb.co/kbGcB5
Required Overlaid format https://ibb.co/nGJw4Q
I’ve noted the config example in doco, however switching off the opposing view/feature wasn’t immediately clear. Thought I’d ask to see if the devs had a hidden php configuration switch for this, and if not, how others might’ve overcome this?
Many thanks,
Will
Hi Will,
We don't have such an option - I'm not sure who else would want to overcome this as that's a weird way of displaying traffic (others may correct me if I'm wrong).
We do have an "MRTG style" toggle which will show your traffic graphs as a solid fill for incoming and an overlaid line for outgoing traffic... Not quite what you're asking for, but less confusing to some.

as long as all is open (source) you can do what you want with rrdtool. Its a long time ago when i fiddled around rrdtool on custom scripts and rrd databases. But as long as rrdtool supports overlays ( and i would bet it will do) you can alter the behaviour (in observium source code) too.
