Cacti

Thanks. Now, please post the output at the upper left corner, just under the device's name. And an snmpwalk against this host using the mentioned parms would be fine Reinhard Gandalf: Not sure if this is an issue you guys are still investigating but I'll add my own recent experience to the discussi...

Please disregard my posts on this subject. Upon further review it looks like I was not selecting the all of the consolidation functions in my rras that I was seeking to graph. Once I did that and made sure that the consolidation function I selected in my graph template for Current: was actually LAST...

Trying to get images attached.

When I zoom in on the a particular time slice, the numbers printed in the legend don't match up with the graphical representation of the traffic.

What do you mean by make the graph wider ?

I'm seeing different information displayed for the same data source in some of my graphs. Specifically, I have interface traffic graphs where the graph shows traffic significantly higher than the level it reports in the max entry in the legend. Additionally, the point on the graph that represents th...

[/quote]Graph the same data twice - Once as a 100% opaque line, and again as an area with 10% opacity. This would (at least in theory) give a nice solid edge to the lightly colored area, and the areas would blend together fairly well. (I first did this on a different graph and used red and blue - Ma...

Sorry for the double post. The first attempt led to a bb post error. Thanks for your response. 5 minutes after I posted my question I found the sticky thread regarding 1 minute polling in the latest iteration of cacti: ( http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=23885 ) Great thread!

Thanks for your response. 5 minutes after I posted my question I found the sticky thread regarding 1 minute polling in the latest iteration of cacti: ( http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=23885 ) Great thread! Well detailed examples (tekbot's in particular). I understand how to link them to data...

Is it still necessary to apply a patch or modify the heartbeat if you want to do 1 minute polling of gige interfaces ? I'm running cacti v0.8.7b with the two recommended patches. This version allows me to select 1 minute (or less) polling in the settings tab but I noticed the heartbeat value for the...

I've made significant progress. Per mickh's suggestion (thanks), I changed the group ownership of the cacti directory structure to www (the apache2 user group on this box) and things really took off. I also modified the syntax I was using in the cactiuusers (cactiu) crontab file. I had used a -q ins...

??? You've found the current workaround already. What are you missing now? Reinhard Yes, the workaround allows me to access the cacti application. I was wondering if the workaround was at all related to the current showstopper I have. Essentially, the cactiuser does not seem to update or create rrd...

RUn php -q poller.php --force from cli you should see rrdtool update statements and hopefully some results of those. You may want to pipe output to a file for easier searching Reinhard Thanks. I must have some sort of rights/path issue. When I look at my /var/log/messages file I see that my crontab...

Ran into a similar problem on a brand new build this week. In troubleshooting found that when issuing php command as the cactiuser nothing would really happen, ie no update to the rrds no log entries in cacti.log. Issuing the same command as root would work as expected. In my case I found that erros...

We've been using Cacti for a couple of years to monitor traffic and errors on our Cabletron/Enterasys gear. Everything from 2nd & 3rd Gen cards in E6/E7 to 4th Gen DFEs in E7/N7 chassis. Have not tired to monitor the CPU usage but it should be pretty straight forward.

I don't believe all of Cacti is ready for 1 minute polling. A dev will have to comment on this. Is there a definative answer as to whether or not Cacti 0.8.6h can be configured to poll every 60 seconds? Based on developer input (around 18 months ago or so) configured 0.8.6c to run every 60 seconds ...

There probably is.

Just thinking that others may have the same issue where Apache2 is not configured to load either the php4 or php5 module.
