Cacti

I got things working now. Seems that it has to do with the fact that i am now running spine in cron as root. This way it can access the raw sockets and send tcp icmp pings (or such, i think it is something in this direction). One of the Routers accepted the udp-Pings too and so i saw, that with udp...

thanks for the answer taliz. I changed the line in crontab: */5 * * * * cacti /opt/lampp/bin/php-5.2.9 /opt/lampp/htdocs/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1 However, as expected, this did not change/solve the problem at all. :( Any further advices are welcome! If you hadn't done that it would nev...

Cron should run poller.php no matter if you use spine or cmd.php.

If you dont know basic Linux administration this is not the place for you IMO. Try Google etc.

FWIW, I'm looking into using snmptools to poll the SAN appliance server with snmp instead of check_nrpe. If that works it should be a lot faster. It doesn't solve the parallel processing problem, but it would be a workaround.

Perhaps I should have named this thread "parallel processing issue".

HI ALL, CAN SOMEONE HELP WITH MY CACTI INSTALLATION/CONFIGURATION?

Thanks for your reply, although I don't see how that would make it execute the scripts simultanously?

Is there anyone alive in this forum at all?

Running check_nrpe through an ss script didnt help at all, it still only executes one at a time.

I looked over our scripts and templates and noticed that we're still using temysql that isnt using the php script server, so I'm going to try and swap to the one thewitness converted. I'm also going to try and write myself a ss_ script to run check_nrpe through, and see if that will make it spawn mo...

I have also noticed that lately I have been getting large gaps at night time when the backups run. Extremely frustrating, to say the least. :( Is there anything one can do about this? It looks like everything breaks because one or two hosts it polls get a bit lagged. "07/20/2009 01:41:57 AM - S...

Hi there, I have been implementing cacti at my job and its becoming increasingly important for our operation. Lately I have created some graphing for a couple of our SAN's, where I'm using check_nrpe(a nagios program) to poll them and get data. It seems to work fine and check_nrpe gets the data with...

I dont see what this has to do with cacti? I would suggest you use google.com.

I would say leave it at the default values unless you have any specific issues.
