Cacti

I got it to work in chroot. You need to copy the binaries, libraries, and files that cacti uses into the /var/www directory. I ended up turning off chroot in apache because I am running other things on this web server. It was turning into a pain tracking down all the files I needed to copy for my sc...

Yeah, my test system seemed a bit flakey at times. It was a P3 500/256MB ram. The new production server is P4 2.8/1GB ram. I haven't had any hiccups or problems. Hey, here's the packages that I have installed. Everything works for me: freetype-1.3.1p1 free and portable TrueType font rendering engine...

Before I cleared the snmp community, it showed the header at the top of the device page. (showing IOS ver, hostname, etc)

I cleared the community string and now the device is always UP, but no other data.

I'm not too worried about getting stats from this switch.

How did you install everything? ports, packages? I just went with packages for my system. Try pkg_add'ing php4-snmp-4.3.10. Then do a: /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -a snmp Let me know if it starts flaking out on you. I had to perform a sysadmin sin in order to get mine to work right. I just don't have time...

1) No, the poller is running as _cacti
2) No, I'm using UDP ping

I had a 2900XL that would do that, except it would always say DOWN. I think the older IOS (11.2) might be a bit flakey on the SNMP side of things. It also shows zeros for current ping, average ping, and availablility. I haven't had time to investigate this problem yet, since I've got bigger ones rig...

Here's some more info. I never saw this stuff in the actual log file. $ php -q /var/www/cacti/poller.php 03/01/2005 08:18:17 AM - POLLER: Poller[0] DEBUG: About to Spawn a Remote Process [CMD: /usr/local/bin/php, ARGS: -q /var/www/cacti/cmd.php 0 20] Waiting on 1/1 pollers.

Sorry, you confused me.

For one, I just explained it clearly...

Two, you are using IIS and Windows Server 2003... I'm using apache on OpenBSD.

What is it you need help with exactly?

Thanks,

Ok, I've been able to look at this project again... I've got some more information. I started logging on MySQL and I am getting this _every_ second in my logfile: 050228 12:53:35 4868 Query select poller_id,end_time from poller_time where poller_id = 0 4868 Query select poller_output.output, poller_...

I keep getting a bunch of processes clogged up on my cacti system. They seem to not go away and keep adding up. Sometimes I get so many that it stops graphing and I have to kill them manually. Also, my webserver tends to not respond during the polling period. Any hints? _cacti 8341 0.0 3.8 7584 9964...

My best guess would be that you are using ICMP (as opposed to UDP) as your ping type under "settings, poller" It requires it be run as root to use ICMP. I think thats what happened to me at one point down the road. Since my cacti processes aren't running as root, it couldn't use ping, so I...

Did you install the php modules like snmp and mysql?

Verify by making a php info file.

If so, did you do a :
?

How did you install PHP? Package, ports? Get the right one and do a:

I'm almost ready to roll my test server over into production. One last thing I can't figure out is the timezone problem I've read posts on this forum as well as rrdtool's mailing list, nothing seemed to help me.
