Ehlen sidi Mansour, if I remember correctly, Cacti is using an own script to capture the data. Using MRTG on my side - I know that you can set the ABSMAX value here to limit the max counter value - and this usually also pretty well detects resets on the counter. Also - on MRTG if you configure gauge or counter - the programm will handle these values accordingly. Eventually you find these hooks in cacti ... (acti was too complicated foer me at the time it came out - so I programmed my own Monitoring stuff ;) Easyer ) ...
