Changing RRD scaling.

[plutocrat]

I wanted to alter the RRD scales. Default graphs are 4 hours, 16 hours, 48 hours, 1 month etc. I wanted to have 4 hours, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month.

I eventually figured it out, so I thought I'd post the fix here. I saw some other questions of this ilk, but the threads were locked.

The answer lies in two files. Back these up before continuing.

cp /usr/local/www/status_rrd_graph_img.php /usr/local/www/status_rrd_graph_img.bak
cp /usr/local/www/status_rrd_graph.php /usr/local/www/status_rrd_graph.bak

In /usr/local/www/status_rrd_graph_img.php

Change this line:

$periods = array("4h", "16h", "48h", "32d", "6m", "16m");

to

$periods = array("4h", "24h", "7d", "32d", "6m", "16m");

Lower down, change this block

$graphs['16h']['seconds'] = 57600;
$graphs['16h']['average'] = 60;
$graphs['16h']['scale'] = "MINUTE:30:HOUR:1:HOUR:1:0:%H";
$graphs['48h']['seconds'] = 172800;
$graphs['48h']['average'] = 300;
$graphs['48h']['scale'] = "HOUR:1:HOUR:6:HOUR:2:0:%H";

to

$graphs['24h']['seconds'] = 86400;
$graphs['24h']['average'] = 60;
$graphs['24h']['scale'] = "MINUTE:30:HOUR:1:HOUR:1:0:%H";
$graphs['7d']['seconds'] = 604800;
$graphs['7d']['average'] = 600;
$graphs['7d']['scale'] = "HOUR:1:HOUR:12:DAY:1:0:%a";

Now in /usr/local/www/status_rrd_graph.php
Change

$periods = array("4h", "16h", "48h", "32d", "6m", "16m");

to

$periods = array("4h", "24h", "7d", "32d", "6m", "16m");

Reload the page and the graphs will update with the new ranges. Personally I think these are better defaults, but your mileage may vary. It would definitely be nice to have control over these graphs in the WebGui …
