[Check_mk (english)] Customize Graphs with Descriptions & Sum's ( Calculation )

Hi there,

I’m knowing cacti a lot and there it was possible to create cool network graphs like:
http://openmaniak.com/cacti/cacti_traffic.jpg

The graphs is showing in addition to current/avg/max/min bandwidth also the total sum of Traffic produced in a time period calculated by the average throughput (converted
to byte and summed to the time period).

So the question:

Is It possible to add single Values to a graph in check_mk which have been calculated by other values? I know that we can add metrics and use functions to sum them
up or sth. But this is not helping me out here. (Or I missed sth.)

As well I guess it is not possible to add metrics which are shown under the graph but do not show up in the graph itself (as line or whatever). If the visibility
Status of the metric will be changed then it currently completely disappears. Am I correct?

Kind regards,

From your example graph it looks like you are using the enteprise
version. Have a look at the following:

  Measured values and graphing - Evaluating measured values in Checkmk quickly and easily

especially section 5.6. This might do what you want.

Hi Greg,

i've already looked into this, but I only can sum/Product/difference (combine) some metrics, but not create my own with some more caluclations like *8 or :8 for example. In general there a no possibilities for custom calculations or?

Kind regards,
Constantin
