Summary
You went through some of the more advanced topics of Cacti, including creating graphs, host and data templates. Specifically you have covered the following areas:
Defining a data template—how to add a data template for retrieving SNMP-based data
Defining a graph template—how to create a threshold-based graph template and use CDEF values to change the appearance of the graph depending on the data value
Defining a host template—creating a selection of SNMP-based graphs and data queries
Importing and exporting templates—how to import a template from the template repository and export our own host template
You have now learned the basic Cacti administration tasks for devices, graphs, and templates. In the next chapter, you are going to learn more about user management. You're going to learn how to automatically add new users and how to configure user permissions.
