Cacti

Does anyone know why PA 2.1 and/or cacti 0.8.7b will not scan for plugins? I am trying to install NPC, which requires this feature of PA2.1 to work. All I see under all of the plugin management is blank spaces and below that is
Last Scanned: Never

I'm sure I can dig deeper myself, but what exactly is it that is supposed to be doing the scanning?

Nothing huh?

The NPC 2.0 install guide requires PA 2.x, so im assuming it's just PA 2.1 that is problematic. I would downgrade if I could find PA 2.0

anyone know where i can download PA 2.0, to see if 2.1 is the problem child? I seem to be reading a lot of similar problems with 2.1

I see a lot of you had some troubles with Last Scan: Never within PA 2.1. Anyone find out what was wrong. I am able to install other plugins such as setting and thold, but they also do not show up in the plugins management list.

I am trying to install NPC 2.0, and just finished installing PA2.1 for cacti 0.8.7b.

Any idea how to get cacti to recognize this plugin or scan for av...

I am running 0.8.7 and have to complete this procedure every few weeks in order to get the graphs back up: This is commonly due to php.ini's memory settings of 8MB default. Change this to at least 64 MB. To check this, please run following sql from mysql cli (or phpmyadmin or the like) Code: select ...

I continuously have to truncate the mysql database in order to get the graphs to come back to life. This happens about once every 3 weeks. Is there any way to avoid this? Truncate automatically or stop the database from filling up?

no...this data comes from the SNMP-interface statistics data query...however, I have noticed that manually running an snmpwalk on the hosts with a return of 20 somehting has a shorter snmpwalk length...im pretty sure it has something to do with the subtrees in snmpd.conf, which are as follows: view ...

So i believe it is not a cacti problem, but rather an snmpd.conf problem....some of machines return 30+ rows of data from the snmpwalk, but some reutrn only 20 something...and the ones with 20 something do not graph data...they are all RHEL5 machines trying to graph the same data as other working on...

So i am moving cacti to a new RHEL5 machine, and I believe that I have all the required compononents installed and the permissions to the cacti directory correct. However, I cannot see anything except a blank screen when I point my browser at cacti. Anyone experienced this?

I've had to truncate the table that gandalf refers to in his debug document, in order to get my graphs back several times now, about once every 10 days...I dont want to do this...should i just go ahead and create a cron job that does it or is there a way to avoid filling up this tables...i do have a...
