前文讲述了，如何通过snmp的方式取获取并创建自己的Cacti图形，但如果某些数据是无法通过snmp取得的，可以通过脚本的方式来获取，所以只有你想不到，没有你做不到的。
比如你那一天对腾讯的在线人数感兴趣，你可以监视这个页面http://im.qq.com/中下图部分：
监控部的同事估计也是通过这个方式来了解腾讯的在线人数曲线的。
继续正题，比如我要监控squid打开一个特定的页面的速度，虽然前文已经讲述了，你可以通过squid自身提供的信息来绘制，但毕竟这是squid提供的，可能没有考虑到网络等因素，所以你需要模拟一个最终用户打开页面的情况,这就要需要自己写一个特殊的脚本：
1.进入到 /cacti/scripts的目录
创建一个文件,如time_get_page.sh
#!/bin/bash
begin_time=`date +%s%N`
curl -s -H ‘Host: bbs.iammecn.com’ $1 >/tmp/tmp
end_time=`date +%s%N`let time1="$end_time"-"$begin_time"
let time1="time1/1000000"begin_time=`date +%s%N`
curl -s -H ‘Host: www.iammecn.com’ $1 >/tmp/tmp
end_time=`date +%s%N`let time2="$end_time"-"$begin_time"
let time2="time2/1000000"printf misstime:$time1
printf " "hittime:$time2
运行这个脚本的结果，后面加上你要监控的机器的IP后，运行结果如下：
misstime:2913 hittime:2492
获得两个值，我是选取了两个不同的页面，一个是需要不缓存的，一个是需要缓存的，所以分别代表了miss和hit的时间。
2. 登陆cacti，然后在Data Input Methods，添加一个新的数据来源
名字随便起了，然后选择”scripts/command” ，路径那里填写：
sh <path_cacti>/scripts/time_get_page.sh <ip>
Input Fields里添加一个IP，“Special Type Code”里填写hostname
Hostname就是指在你的Devices里指定的主机名了，从来获取你的主机名
Output Fields 里再输出两个值
就是上面脚本里输出的两个值，分别是httime,misstime
3. Data Templates ,创建数据模板
“Data Input Method”就选刚才创建的那个数据来源
下面再添加两个TAB
主要是选对”Output Field”这个值的来源
4.然后再创建“Graph Templates”
同样是创建一个新模板，下面的名字你随便起，如下图：
重点来了，接下来是如何创建图形了,如下图：
ADD一个图形，如下图：
Data Source 选择你刚才创建的数据模板中一个，如我选择了MissTime
颜色随便选择了，只要看着习惯就行。
Graph Item Type 就是你绘制的图形类型，比如是一根线还是面积图？我这里选择的是LINE1，绘制出来的图形如下图所示。
Consolidation Function一般来说选择Aveage，这样会让你的图平滑
“CDEF Function”就除以1024， 我这里是跟据我自己的情况来弄的，因为我上面那个脚本是取了纳秒级的数据，如果不加以处理就会很大，不处理，以秒级的话，区间也太小了，对于某些细微的网络状态可能觉察不出来。
Text Format 就是你的图形说明了，一般来说横坐标是时间，纵坐标就是你的数值了，你可以在纵坐标上放尽可能多的数据，只要不影响你的眼睛。
接下来再打印一些文字，主要就是来说明这个图形的，显示最大，最小，平均值等
如下图：
下图就是取当前值：
类型选择“GPRINT”,并选择“LAST”,最后选择Insert Hard Return，这样是为了换行。
5. 到这里基本上已经完成了图形模板制作的全过程了，你可以在Devices里把所要加的图形附加到设备上，然后和正常的制作一般图片一样了。
以下是我一天时间获取的图形：
你可以清楚地了解到主机的运行和网络状况了。
