Cacti

Forgive me if this seems to be a silly question. Is there some reason why the pollers don't directly update the RRD Files? Does it have to go through the database? Is there a way for the Pollers to be sent both the host and oid information to query, as well as host information for the Remote RRD Upd...

I discovered an error while testing the new version of Cacti, I copied my sql database to "cacti-devel". Unfortunately this caused a number of plugins to break, I traced the problem down the the following line of code located in the setup.php files in the various plugin directories: $sql =...

ah...

I'm running 0.8.6j. You'll need to upgrade before the file will import. Or figure out how to hack the file so it will. I don't think the file contains any elements that are "j" dependent - but you never know.

I made a slight change and re-uploaded the files, download the 2.0 version again and see if that fixes it.

what version of cacti / cactid / os / database are you running?

Did you import other files, or just try to import the one file?

Here are the new files. I discovered a few things. 1. The field formerly knows as "Direction" is actually the field "ClassOwningPartition". It gives the name of the owning partition. At the time I had no partitions, so it gave "Inbound" or "Outbound" for all o...

OK - I just found out what the problem is. I'm mis-interpreting the oids in my query. The field name |query_psClassDirection| is actually the Packeteer MIB ClassOwningPartName, meaning the owning partition name. So if you use sub-partitions underneath /inbound and /outbound, the "direction"...

It is a global Cacti setting. Go to "Settings" and then the "Visual" tab. 2nd setting down should be Maximum Title Length.

How do you change the name of this graph? I don't want to change the name of the template, just the graph that is generated. Thank you I'm not sure what you're after. There are 2 names, the graph template name, and the title / name of the individual graphs. There is the Graph Template itself: "...

The graph template should have the "|query_psClassName|" in the title field. Mine is:

It looks like you've got the CDEF's out of whack. The graph is being converted to bytes - that's why it's 1/8 of the bits being reported in the legend. Look at the template and figure out which CDEF you're using, it shouldn't be converting to bytes.

Check the poller_output table in the db. If it has more than a few thousand rows that's your problem. Empty out that table and your updated should resume. I'm not sure why but some bug in cacti makes it so not every row is removed during the polling cycle and so over time it builds up so that table ...

The template is generic. Just drop any class you're already graphing into the template.

I believe I had this problem again running 8.6j - cacti stopped updating the RRD files. When I check the poller_output table it had 800,000 records in it. I emptied the table with phpmyadmin and everything went back to normal. I've already increased my php.ini memory limit to 64Mb so that's not the ...

Ah, thanks - that was the trick. 1.9M records in my poller table. Just logged into phpMyAdmin, and emptied (not drop, just empty) the table, graphs got updated next cycle around.
