For some reason, Cacti doesn't like the system response that mini_snmpd gives (eg uptime, syslocation etc). In order to get your graphs correctly generated within Cacti, you need to change the way Cacti polls the OpenWRT system to see if it is up - on the device page within Cacti you should change the 'downed device detection' method to 'Ping' and the ping method to 'ICMP Ping'. This should then work :) For some reason, Cacti doesn't like the system response that mini_snmpd gives (eg uptime, syslocation etc).

 +===== Wireless signal and noise =====
 +
 +Here is a small patch for mini_snmpd to support monitoring wireless signal and noise with Cacti. Here is the [[http://nottheoilrig.com/openwrt/201212090/wireless.patch|patch for mini_snmpd]] and here is a patch to [[http://patchwork.openwrt.org/patch/3061/|add it to OpenWrt]]. Here is a blog post about [[http://jdbates.blogspot.com/2012/12/heres-patch-for-mini-snmp-daemon-to.html|how to configure Cacti]] to make graphs from signal and noise data.
 +
 +The OIDs in the patch are chosen to work with the kbridge.xml SNMP query this is distributed with Cacti.
