Cacti

Oh my !...
The problem is closed : when clicking on the cactus icon, I can see 0.8.6h...
But I don't understand why : I kept my install pakage and it's the 0.8.7a !
Thanks to all posters

Try running spine with more verbosity: spine -R -S -V 5 or with strace/truss: strace spine -R -S -V 5 Post the output please. Good idea, a debug mode : thanks to that, it seems spine is stuck on a request to the database (see at the end of the log). When I try to send this request directly in phpMy...

I've checked the tar.gz package I've downloaded, it's cacti-0.8.7a. Do you know how to check the version of cacti in the interface ?

However, for my problem, I don't think the cacti version matters : spine poller itself doesn't work when lauched with command line...

replace ping.c from cacti-spine-0.8.7a with ping.c from cacti-spine-0.8.7. Its work for me even using icmp ping. I've tested three different version of spine : - 0.8.7a, - 0.8.7a with 0.8.7 ping.c (following sizulku's advice), - 0.8.7 Each time, I executed the following code : aclocal libtoolize --...

Help !

cmd.php works fine and succeeds in retrieving all data sources.
But spine does nothing, just waiting 293sec and then stop !

Still didn't find out why...

I tried to disable some devices to monitor I tried to change the "Downed Host Detection" and "Ping Type" of the poller -> nothing changed, same message as before : root@test-desktop:/usr/local/spine/bin# ./spine SPINE: Using spine config file [../etc/spine.conf] SPINE: Version 0....

In the device page information of local host, make sure you have filled in the field "SNMP Community" with the value "public". It worked for me.

I reinstall spine from the beggining, following a doc I found in the installation package of cacti (cacti-0.8.7a/docs/html/unix_configure_spine.html). But same problem, when i want to launch spine, I've got that : root@test-desktop:/usr/local/cacti-spine-0.8.7a# ./spine SPINE: Using spine config fil...

(Settings -> General -> Poller)

SNMP

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make spine work on cacti... Could you tell me where I am wrong : - After the ./confgure successfully done, I edited the spine.conf to change the password of the cactiuser from mysql. - In the cacti settings, 'Paths' tab : I entered in the field "Cactid Poller Fil...

Great ! The install worked ! Thanks a lot fmangeant : quelle maitrise ! :) Just a few more manips to change the poller and it will be ok (the compilation was the hardest I think)... I had to install some package (libtoolize, libmysqlclient, libsnmp) I didn't know the command libtoolize --force ? Wha...

Hi everyone, I'm new in the Cacti community : I'm testing Cacti 0.8.7 for a week now, running on Ubuntu 7.10 (maybe it's the cause of the problem...). I would like to install Spine so I followed the instructions on that page : http://cacti.net/spine_install_rhlnx.php However, when I go to cacti-spin...

Exactly the same problem. I'm trying to monitor an Oracle database and I found this topic : http://forums.cacti.net/about7567-0-asc-0.html But I was unable to make it work. Using SNMP is quite complicated to deploy. I think it might be more simple to use perl script like the ones you can find on Nag...
