FC_RTGraph XML tag descriptions

programtitle [str]
Defines the title that is displayed on the window header of the application. The programtitle tag may contain any number of characters.
charttitle [str]
Sets the title of the chart. The title is displayed just above the actual graph and may contain any number of characters.
xaxis [str]
Sets the text for the horizontal axis of the graph and may contain any number of characters.
yaxis [str]
Sets the text for the vertical axis of the graph and may contain any number of characters.
barstyle [str]
The barstyle tag lets you set the style of the bar. The bar style can also be set at runtime through the style selection control. There are 4 styles available:
  • "rectangle"
  • "cylinder"
  • "arrow"
  • "gradient"
multibartype [str]
Defines how multiple "bars" are displayed on the graph. Available choices are:
  • "behind"
  • "side by side"
  • "stacked"
chart3D [bool]
A boolean setting that lets you choose between 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional output.
  • "False"=2D
  • "true"=3D
legendalignment [str]
Lets you configure where to display the Legend of the graph. Allowed values are:
  • "left"
  • "right"
  • "top"
  • "bottom"
preferredinstance [str]
top20only [bool]
If more than 20 series are displayed in the graph, the graph can get quite confusing. If set to "true", only the 20 most productive series are shown.
showvaluelabels [bool]
If set to true, a label displaying the value is shown for each collected value. If set to false, no labels are displayed.
automaticupdownscaling [bool]
If set to "true", the y-axis is scaled automatically up/down with the collected values to display in order to get the most detailed graph. If set to "false", the y-axis is only scaled up (not down). The latter is important to remember the highest value reached.
refreshinstances [bool]
Not used! Leave blank!
width [pos int]
Sets the preferred width of the graph-window at program startup. The window can be resized at runtime. May range from 300 to 2000 pixels.
height [pos int]
Sets the preferred height of the graph-window at program startup. The window can be resized at runtime. May range from 200 to 1600 pixels.
host [4-byte dotted x.x.x.x | str]
Sets the ip address or hostname of the device to poll.
community [str]
Sets the community string to use in the SNMP requests when polling a device.
pollinginterval [pos int]
Sets the desired polling interval. The polling interval may range from 1 to 1000 seconds and can be overruled in realtime at runtime.
shooter
The shooter part of the xml file is used to configure the actual SNMP requests and how to process the retrieved values. The shooter part is the container that contains one or more shooter targets. A target can be used to specify the SNMP OID and Instance from which to collect the value or to define the calculations that are to be performed on the collected datasets/values.
raw [bool]
If set to "true", the values retrieved are treated as they are. If set to "false", the difference between the current values and the previous ones (delta) is calculated before continuing with further processing. Use "true" for displaying utilization or percentage statistics. Use "false" for showing Bytes/sec, Frames/sec etc...
linear [bool]
If set to "true", the y-axis of the graph is scaled linearly, if set to "false", the y-axis is scaled logarithmically
snmpport [pos int]
The port on the remote host on which the SNMP agent is listening. The default port is 161. If left blank, 161 is taken.
snmpversion [pos int]
The version of the snmp protocol to use. Possible values are 1 (snmpV1) or 2 (snmpV2c). If left blank snmpV1 is taken.
oid [str]
Use the oid tag to specify the oid (without instance) to include in the snmp request. Valid oids should have a format as in "1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2" or "1.3.6.1.2.1.11.1". (See rfc1213 for a detailed description of SNMP).
oiddescr [str]
You can use this tag to specify a text for the oid mentioned. This option is disabled I the free version!
instance [str]
Use the instance tag to specify the instance for the oid mentioned in the previous tag. There are three different valid formats:
  • A fixed dotted oid like instance as in .7 or .123 (don't forget the preceding dot!). The fixed instance is directly placed after the oid in the SNMP request.
  • The special keyword "at runtime". If the keyword "at runtime" is used, you will be prompted to select an instance from a list of instances at runtime. I.e. this option is useful if you want to have the possibility to zoom in on different ports of a switch one at a time at runtime.
  • The special keyword "all instances". This option will display all occurrences of the specified oid in one graph. This option is useful if you want to graph the load of all ports of a router in one graph.
visible [bool]
If set to "true", the retrieved values are displayed in the graph. If set to "false", the retrieved values can be used in calculations etc but will not be shown in the graph.
formula [str]
You can use this tag to specify a formula. The formula contains a number of fields separated by a comma. The fields are: a name for the result of the calculation, the actual formula, the declarations of the fields (oids) used in the formula. Valid formula strings are ie: "IO,(A+B)/$PI,A=1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10,B=1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16," or "Out,A*(0-1),A=1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16,". You can use the following mathematical operators in a formula: +, -, *, /. You can only use positive integers in a formula. If you need a negative integer, the following is wrong A*-1. Use A*(0-1) instead.
