Hi,

I would like to ask you, how can I translate numeric datapoint to Text Expression in graph. For example, my datapoint return serveral Integer like -1 = Offline, 0 = 10Mbit, 1=100Mbit, 2=1000Mbit. And I want to display in graph the text expression of the value.

Thanks

You cannot store text in RRD files (which is the underlying format for your performance data).



If this is SNMP data then you may well find a different SNMP OID that returns the data that you really want - this looks like interface speed In which case, Zenoss will automatically gather that information through standard SNMP queries. Navigate to a device's main page, select interfaces in the left-hand menu and then change the dropdown box in the middle to Details rather than Graphs. That will show you the interface speed (though do be aware that some SNMP agents don't always report this correctly, especially for virtual devices).

Cheers,

Jane
