Cacti

Has anyone thought about using the rrdtool method of storing data in a real database, such as mysql? Let me elaborate. I have pretty much come to the conclusion that I can't use cacti to graph an environment of my size (1100+ hosts, 300k data sources) with a 5 minute polling interval. Polling isn't ...

I can't add devices. When I go to 'devices', 'add', fill out the form, and click 'create', the screen goes blank and nothing happens. If I click on 'devices' again, the host is there with a status of unknown, but when I click on the host, it prints the hostname and "SNMP Information" and t...

DataSources:28933 RRDsProcessed:11535 for 129 hosts so far. This is only around 10% of my network, and I expect the number of DS and rrds to be proportional to the number of hosts since i am collectingthe same data from mostly the same type of equipment. That would be around 300,000 DS and 115,000 r...

No problem at the moment, just want to get your thoughts and/or recommendations on the performance of my cacti setup in my environment. When I add all of my devices into cacti, about what poll time should I expect? Any special tricks to reduce poll time (I have cactid and i have heard about boost)? ...

bah... me is noob! I had two different cronjobs set up on two users for polling. So basically, I had two pollers being executed by different users at the same time, so utilization skyrocketed, and they tried to update the database with the same data. I removed the 2nd cronjob and everything began op...

I have some graphs being polled at 1 min and others at 5 min intervals. I am getting the following in the log file: 06/05/2007 04:36:10 PM - SYSTEM STATS: Time:9.6001 Method:cactid Processes:1 Threads:20 Hosts:32 HostsPerProcess:32 DataSources:6437 RRDsProcessed:2241 06/05/2007 04:36:09 PM - SYSTEM ...
