Cacti

IKE Dropped Packets are the number of packets within the VPN tunnel that have been dropped for whatever reason. You will likely see a few of these from time to time, but a sudden jump should alert you to a problem. Can't explain further, and I could be wrong in my interpretation of course. If anyone...

I have had similar problems with windows clients using SNMPtools to returm perfmon values - and fixed it by increasing the SNMP timeout value for that device. When doing an snmpwalk command directly, I believe it doesn't time out - just waits till it gets a result. That wouldn't be appropriate for C...

The Host Template worked for me for our APC 7921s - but only after I changed the Graph Template to use CF type of Average for all the LINE3 items. apc_overload_level was set to LAST and it threw an error.

Working very nicely thanks.

Please find below a Host Template for the Swiftbase version of the WXGoose climate monitor. This is a popular version available in the UK. Note that these devices include the MIB as a download from the control panel. Use a MIB browser to find the OIDs and adjust the template accordingly. This Host t...

I get an XML parse error when I try to import this with that degree symbol on it (running CentOS 5.3 which isn't particularly old).

I changed the last entry with the symbol to use "deg" instead, and it was accepted.

Aha! Thanks. You prompted me to check somewhere else and I got things working.

I had setup the cronjob to run via the crontab for the cactiuser, rather than specifying it in /etc/crontab

I changed this, and voila - graphing now seems to be working on my localhost.

Thanks for the reply Gandalf. Apache is running as the user named nagios. If I login as nagios and run cmd.php, I get valid output for each check (which I am not seeing when running. That suggests that the paths are ok for apache's user and in the scripts. However, perhaps I am making a wrong assump...

You need a fixed width font - not sure how you tell which ones are fixed in your OS. Courier is almost always fixed (unless it is called Courier proportional). If you have Gnome or KDE on your Ubuntu box, you should be able to find a fixed width font by creating some text in an editor then switching...

Hi there - still here and still having the same problem. I've setup Cacti to use RHEL binaries for rrdtool etc - so really, although Groundwork is running on this box, I don't see any reason why it should have any effect on Cacti doing its thing. Cacti was installed from a download from Cacti.net. F...

Just to muddy the waters a little. I was trying to understand what was going on by running poller.php from the command line - I had to change the schedule from 5 minutes to 1 minute (and update cron accordingly). The first time I ran poller.php after this I got valid data instead of the U. Subsequen...

Ok - that is clearer. I'm used to seeing output appear on a different line from the input, so wasn't looking for that. The script I have been running was downloaded from your sourceforge project last week - as I said previously Groundwork don't supply cacti as part of the Community Edition. The scri...

Where is the data on a different line from the OID? As far as I can see the command doesn't return an OID at all.

This is the cacti supplied script I am running here. Groundwork don't supply Cacti as part of the Community Edition.

@TheWitness
"Read" my post again - that is me running the script from the command line;

Input:
perl /usr/local/groundwork/apache2/htdocs/cacti-0.87e/scripts/memory.pl MemFree:

Output:
442188

@peecee
Thanks for clarifying the output from the log

Nope - Community Edition. Forums only.

I'm not quite sure what question to ask Groundwork. Are you suggesting that SNMP is not working on the target machine, that snmp support in PHP isn't working, or something else? I can't really tell from the logs what the cause of the problem might be. If I go to Groundworks and tell them "Cacti...
