What is the data_source_type_id in the cacti XML

If you are converting cacti XML files into zenoss datasources, you would need to understand the datasource type.

Sometimes it is easy to search on google for cacti templates and use them in zenoss.

A good example is this one: http://forums.cacti.net/about10589.html

As you can see someone create XML templates for a Cisco PIX/ASA
I would like to add the OID's to a zenoss datasource.

When I open the XML there is a part which describes the data source ID.
Here you can find the list to the translated value.

data_source_type_id = 1 = "GAUGE"
data_source_type_id = 2 = "COUNTER"
data_source_type_id = 3 = "DERIVE"
data_source_type_id = 4 = "ABSOLUTE"
