New Device shown as Down, but it isn't.

I've added a new device by providing a name and an IP address in the Hostname area. All I need to do is graph RTT from the "Ping a Host" template that I've already created. When I add the new device, though, Cacti displays it as Down. I can successfully ping the device's address from both ...

I changed the Data Template from 120 to 600, but the existing files weren't updated - can I delete them from the command-line and let cacti re-create them?

Great! That must be the problem. I am not sure how to adjust this value, though - could you provide some links to how I'd adjust it? This is the part of cacti that I haven't quite gotten a good handle on - how to work with the RRD backend files.

Thanks. I skipped directly to step 5 of your Debug NaN troubleshooting guide, since all of our other graphs are being updated properly. I found the query in Poller Cache, along with all the other queries: Data Source: Core 1 - Traffic - ethernet3/1 RRD: /var/www/html/cacti/rra/core_1_traffic_in_453....

It was your link, actually, that got me to where I am now, as far as testing the data with rrdtool. I get NaN from this file, but am not sure why. I wasn't the one who originally set this up, so it could have been done incorrectly. In any case, I've already worked through the documents in your signa...

Hi, thanks for the reply. I am new to this, but I'm comfortable exploring. I've been using snmpwalk/get to explore the device, and I even found that if I go to create a new graph, I do in fact see a list of all the available ethernet interfaces. However, I get no data for the new interface we're att...

Help me better understand how RRD files are created.

Hi there, I'm now maintaining a Cacti installation that has already been set up. I've read through all of the HOWTOs on the main site, but still am a bit confused about how each individual RRD file gets created. Do I create them manually? If so - how? For instance, we have a switch with several blad...
