Cacti

Have you tried snmpwalk -c public -v1 ip-address-of-firewall-here replacing the parameters as necessary (I assumed community string of public and SNMP version 1, since that's usually the default in cacti and on most devices)? If that's not working, you may have - something that's blocking snmp speci...

Sorry, if I'm asking some simple questions, but without more info to go on, its difficult to diagnose. No problem. I appreciate your help. I assume you waiting until after 1 polling, since during the polling is when everything gets created. . Correct. In fact, here's a separate, but related post, o...

why not assign a Host Template to the device, and then click the big lettered " Create Graphs for this Host " link at the top of the device window? Yup, I tried that. If I do that, the graphs give an error message in debug mode, saying there's no data source. Creating the data source manu...

This seems to be the problem. RRD files should be created by the poller. If it does not create them, it will not fill them either. I can see your point; it makes sense. However, for all the other hosts, I was able to get around this by creating the rrd files by hand, i.e. from the command line. Tho...

Hi, I created some traffic graphs using the Interface - traffic template. They're not updating, i.e. no updates to rrd files and thus NaNs in my graph. However, all my other datasources, including others for this host, *are* updating. I tried using lvm's directions to troubleshoot , and got to step ...

Update: clarified data source creation part. I always follow the steps on the initial login page to create graphs, and they work. However, I think there's some things I'm missing. * Create devices for network ===================== This is simple enough. * Create graphs for your new devices ========...

Hi, Are there plans to have some command line functionality to cacti? I'm referring to adding hosts, etc. from the command line, instead of going through the web GUI. It's my only gripe about cacti... it's one thing I kinda miss about cricket, where you could run a command to configure a host, and y...

Reinhard - were you able to try this again?

Thanks, Burvil

Hm, well, I checked both the last and second to last writeups in your signature: "HowTo: Using Data Queries and Data Input Methods (walkthrough)", and "Howto: from snmptable to XML Graphs (Data Query walkthrough)". Since the former contains information about a data templates and ...

Well, none of the rrd files were updated recently, so it makes sense there's no data in the graph. I just can't figure out why... Incidentally, there are only some rrd files created, even though the data template (see attached image) specifies more. # ls -lt /var/www/html/cacti/rra/a6_2454_4500* | h...

Well, I clicked 'Create Graphs for this Host', and yes, they did show up. I clicked on the items to create them, and will check the logs in a bit to see if anything happened. However, it seems from the verbose output in my original posting that there isn't even any data being updated to the rrd... o...

Hi all, I'm trying to set up a data query, per the following how-to - http://forums.cacti.net/about11288.html&highlight=data+query. It works well, up until I get to the section 'Apply the Data Query to your Device'. Although the data query is added ok, it only adds some of the items in the XML f...

I have: 1) Replaced the files at http://www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/0.8.6f/pre-patched/ in the corresponding locations in my installation 2) Followed the instructions at http://www.cacti.net/download_patches.php to install the latest patches 3) Did the following as root: [root@host tmp]# cd /var...

Cool, thanks. Yeah, I changed my cron job to poller.php, and it's updating now. I guess it must have changed from cmd.php in a version change? Odd, in the GUI (console -> Configuration -> Settings -> Poller) it still only shows cmd.php and cactid as the pollers. I guess this is a bug?

Hi, I have a clean install of cacti 0.8.6f, fully patched, i.e. with all patches at http://www.cacti.net/download_patches.php. I did a clean install after trying to upgrade from 0.8.5a, which seemed to be OK, but wasn't updating the rrdfiles (same problem as now, with clean install). Anybody have an...
