CDEF comes straight from <SPAN

the <SPAN

CLASS="GUILABEL"

this screen, click <SPAN

name, for which you can type anything used to describe your CDEF. Click the <SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Create</SPAN

button so you are redirected back to the edit page, now with an empty <SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>CDEF Items</SPAN

box. Construct your CDEF by adding an item for each element in the CDEF string, common types such as
operators and functions are enumerated for your convenience. Below is a basic description of each
CDEF item type.

>Example 19-5. Disk Usage as a Percentage</B

>This example is based on the standard data template <B
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>ucd/net - Hard Drive Space</B
>.
Cacti ships an associated graph template named <B
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>ucd/net - Available Disk Space</B
>.
Often, users complain about the fact, tha tthis template prints free and used space as absolute figures only.
But instead of knowing, that your data partition has about 10GB used space, you may be interested in the
percentage used. So let's create a simple example to show the power of the recently introduced special data sources.</P
><P
>To make it work, we need two new CDEFs. The first one may come in useful for a bunch of
different graph templates. It's named <B
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>Make Current Data Source 0</B
>. On a first glance,
you may wonder why this CDEF is needed. It is used for those data sources, that will be used
for calculations but shall not show up themselves. Here's the definition</P

CLASS="EMPHASIS"

><PRE
CLASS="SCREEN"
>cdef=CURRENT_DATA_SOURCE,ALL_DATA_SOURCES_NODUPS,/,100,*</PRE
><P
>Here's a short discussion. The first three elements read: Take the current data source and
divide it by "The Sum of All Data Sources (Don't include Duplicates)". To form a percentage, you will have
to multiply by 100. This is done by adding the elements four and five.</P
><P
>Now, let's build up the new graph</P

Item#2 (hdd_free): LINE1 AVERAGE
Item#3 (hdd_used): % Used AREA AVERAGE FF0000</PRE

>Item#1+2 in most cases will exceed the maximum percentage of 100 by magnitudes.
So they are associated with the CDEF named <B
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>Make Current Data Source 0</B
> to make them zero.
This adds the data sources to the graph but avoids them showing up. The pseudo-color of "None" is associated to
both of them.</P
><P
>Iten#3 is associated to the data source <B
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>hdd_used</B

"% Used" of the partition. The CDEF is <B
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>Current DS as Percentage of all DS</B
