Cacti

Everything is working now. For some reason that syntax of having the root user in crontab wasnt neccessary in my redhat installation. My crontab already has root rights to it, so I it seems to be working.

Thanks to everyone who gave me advice. I appreciate it.

Can you tell me what OS you are using, as well as PHP version and mysql. I am new to this myself so I dont know how much help I will be. You can check the php version by typing php -v from the command line. I believe if you do a mysql -v it will bring up the sql monitor which will show you the versi...

crontab -e

that is the only way i have ever done it.

I tried this and it told me /bin/sh: line 1: root: command not found I have modified the crontab entry so as to leave out the root user in the entry. It now looks like this. */5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php My modified cactiout.txt file now shows this OK u:1.00 s:0.00 r:12.95 ...

From inside the cacti directory., try running php poller.php and see if you get some indications of an update. Then check the rra directory and see if your rrd files are showing a date and timestamp of your last poller run. I am still working on a problem, where my poller isnt running except for whe...

I have tried this without success.

I have the syntax

*/5 * * * * root /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

Any other ideas or is my syntax wrong.

I have done a complete reinstall and the graphs are appearing. My main problem now is that my crontab will not run every 5 minutes as it is scheduled. If i run the poller manually, I am collecting data without a problem. I have tried 2 different crontab entries. 1st I tried */5 * * * * root php /var...

I am using 3.23.58-1.9 version of mysql. That is the version I found when using synaptic in red hat. So in regards to my previous post, can you give me an example of that syntax with a user if you were to create a new user. I would appreciate it. that way i can see what should be changed in the belo...

I had initially tried setting up a user for this, but I have problems with the new user syntax in mysql. shell> mysql --user=root mysql mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword'; mysql> flush privileges; When I type in the flush privileges, it brings me to anoth...

Unfortunanently, my screenshots were too big for the post. Either way, I use the root user in crontab and all the directories have root ownership including the files that are in the rra directory.

Here are 2 screenshots, 1 of the directory permissions as well as the files with in the rra directory. The other 1 is of the crontab entry I had made. The only other thing I can think of which I think is right is for my database username I have used root with no password. I did not create the option...

I am not sure how the previous article applies, so I may need further clarification. I have created my devices per the instructions listed in that article. Also when I look at the data source debug, I dont see any duplicate lines but maybe I am missing something. I have added a screenshot of one of ...

Also, I ran that code previously mentioned for the rrd update and it brings me back command line prompt.

Here is the poller debug run manually. 02/16/2005 09:33:00 AM - POLLER: Poller[0] DEBUG: About to Spawn a Remote Process [CMD: /usr/bin/php, ARGS: -q /var/www/html/cacti/cmd.php 0 7] Waiting on 1/1 pollers. 02/16/2005 09:33:01 AM - POLLER: Poller[0] CACTI2RRD: /usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.49/bin/rrdtool u...

I am using the cmd.php as opposed to the cactid poller. I know you can snmp walk these devices b/c I am using the cacti server on the same machine as MRTG which is using snmp to pull this same data I am trying with cacti.

I am using snmp v1.
