Hi All,

I have a graph template that is producing a graph like the following;

It is a PDU graphing the power output of each and a total value across
all powers (in Amps). Each port and the total value is pulled via a
script into an RRD. The data is in the RRD. The problem is that port 1
is drawing 0.2 Amps of power and as you can see in that graph ever
port says 0.2 Amps.


Looking at the graph debug info we see the following;

DEF:a is used for all 24 PDU sockets on the graph! But I created the
graph specifying each of the 24 socket RRAs within the RRD like this;

Socket 1 value comes from my.rrd:Socket1 value and socket 2 value
comes from my.rrd:Socket2 so why is this not happening when we draw
the graph? Each socket item on the graph template.


Each graph item looks like this:

Each graph item source looks like this:

What is going on here?

Many thanks,
James.
