Cacti

is it possible someone can delete my account or can I do it?

Hi csexton127, what does the RRD tool error checking say? that fact that you are actually getting a graph is a good start. What are the permissions like on the file / folder where the script is located? Try making it 777 to make sure its not a permissions issues. Lee Hey Lee, thanks for the reply. ...

Has anyone else had an issue where cacti isn't adding the data to the rrd? I have set up the scripts according to Lee's post (great job, you're a life saver), and I'm able to get the data returned using the scripts: [root@server rra]# /home/www/cacti/scripts/esxiograph.sh cpu_vs XX.XX.XX.XX cacti &...

Thanks in advance

Hi Deepak,

Not to sure on this to be honest, I know you can for each VM.

is there any template where we logon to vcenter and read through all the vms located in that vcenter? I'm sure someone could write a script that polled the vcentre which returned all the VMs and then created collectors for all the VMs. To be honest if you add them one at a time and then keep on top...

Hi ldjones48, Have followed your guide, but when I test the check_esx3.pl to see if it returns anything, I get the following: CHECK_ESX3.PL CRITICAL - Server version unavailable at 'https://<vCenter-IP>:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl' at /usr/share/perl/5.10/VMware/VICommon.pm line 545 Have googled around...

Lee, I am polling the ESX host, not the Vcenter. I want to plot performance metrics for my ESX hosts and not for induvidual VMs. I am polling as root so I don't think there should be any permission issues. The adapters are Broadcom NetXtreme II 57711E/NC532i 10gbit. I did find a different issue how...

Hi isse,

Not sure it will to be honest. This has been written in Pearl.

Finally, a way to monitor a ESX/ESXi host in Cacti. Thank you _very_ much for your efforts Lee! I do have one issue though; the output from check_esx3.pl when checking NET on an individual host is always 0 for both net_receive and net_send. I can check a VM just fine, but not the actual host. All o...

how does this handle if a new vm is created? do we have to go into cacti and manually add the new vm? Hi gsaray101, your are correct, each time you add a vm you need to add this in the cacti GUI. Thus if you removed one you would need to remove it. The reason being is it creates it own data collect...

Imported that other template, made the changes you suggested to the consolidation function and...yes! This is working. You are an absolute star . I think this deserves a new thread topic of it's own. So far I've got all the VS parameters, VM CPU, VM IO, VM NET, and VM MEM Usage working. VM MEM Acti...

I've been struggling for days with this too, so thanks for your efforts on this one. I'm getting Error: XML: Hash version does not exist. when I try to import your XML template. Any ideas? Edit: Hmm, OK looks like my version of cacti [0.8.7e] is older than yours. Hi Troffasky, I am using version &q...

Hi Guys. This is a long one, it took me around three to four days of searching the web, understanding how the cacti could interact with the vCentre server and poll the VM’s for the data. I then had to figure out how cacti could take this data and graph it. The main thing to keep in mind is that cact...
