Cacti

Hi, thanks for the feedback. A lot to look into now... How should I check the number of database connections? And what is "enough"? I'm sure I'm running the 1.2.x branch now, but in a first installation, I accidentally used the Developer branch. I'm not (yet) using Remote Data Collectors, ...

Hi,
no, I'm not using boost (should I?).
I will raise this then also on Github.

Kind regards, Jan

Hi, I spent a bit more time on trying to solve this issue. I have now upgraded to spine 1.2.23, but it seems that spine produces a Segmentation fault: root@server:/usr/local/spine/bin# gdb spine GNU gdb (Debian 10.1-1.7) 10.1.90.20210103-git Copyright (C) 2021 Free Software Foundation, Inc. License ...

I have debugged this a bit deeper and found some strange behaviour with respect to cactid daemon and spine. I managed to get the system working via the suggested debug (/var/www/html/cacti/service/README.md) to run the daemon in foreground with the debug option enabled. ./cactid.php –-foreground –-d...

does anyone have any other suggestions to troubleshoot this?

Hi,
do you happen to know whether the cactid service still needs the cron job to run or not...
It's not clear to me either.
thanks
Jan

another question: - if cactid is running, is it still needed to have a cron job, as it used to be before cactid was introduced?

Thanks, Jan

Yes, see my Wednesday post showing the output of the cmd: root@SVR:/var/www/html/cacti/rra/10# sudo systemctl status cactid.service
--> Active: active (running)

Thanks,
Jan

hi, the rra directory is already owned by www-data: drwxr-xr-x 4 www-data www-data 4096 Jun 21 07:36 rra The user in the systems unit file also seems to be correct /etc/systemd/system$ cat cactid.service [Unit] Description=Cacti Daemon Main Poller Service After=network.target [Service] Type=forking ...

as an update to my post: when I 'manually' and repeatedly (e.g. every +/-10s) run spine via the following command: #runuser -u www-data -- /usr/local/spine/bin/spine -C /usr/local/spine/etc/spine.conf.dist --poller=1 --first=10 --last=10 --mibs then, the RRD files are created and updated. I then get...

Hi, I'm trying to set up Cacti 1.2.22 for 10sec polling interval. I have created a new Data Source Profile in the Presets for this purpose, and I have duplicate-modified the data source and graph template to use this Data Profile. I have modified the Data Query (SNMP - Interface Statistics) to refle...

hi, I tried that with Europe/Brussels, but that had the same effect, and I really did want to get it working with the UTC timezone anyhow. This is now working, but it's strange that this check initially fails (during multiple hours...), while then the system seems to solve itself "overnight&quo...

Hi, the GUI showed exactly the same as in the thread above: the current PHP date.timezone field in the 'PHP - Recommendations (web)' part remains empty and this item is marked with the error message. However, it seems that Cacti did some self-healing over the weekend, just as with the initiator of t...

I also encounter this very same issue, and unfortunately, I was not able to resolve this, even after restarting the the entire server a few times. Cacti v1.2.22 Debian 11 PHP 7.4 Apache2 MariaDB 10.5 The required timezone is UTC. The error is only present for the PHP - Recommendations (web) and stra...

I can also confirm that the problem still exists in version 1.1.23.
