Cacti

Letting cron run without specifying any user doesnt seem to help either. Thanks Did you let it run w/o the specifying the user in the root crontab or the cactiuser cront tab? Is your cacti log file reporting anything when the cron job runs? Another thought, you could try redirecting the output to a...

*slaps hand to forhead* Sorry, slow mental day for me.... :o In the web interface, goto "System Utilities" and click on "Clear Poller Cache". This will rebuild the poller cache and set all the correct paths to the files. You will see output when this command is done running, &qu...

I think you don't want specify the user when you run the cronjob from a crontab.

Try:

*/5 * * * * /www/php/bin/php /www/htdocs/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

In your cacti users crontab. Or, alternatively, put what you have already in your /etc/cron.d/ dir as a file.

That setting is updated automatically with you run the poller or access the page. If I recall correctly. For some reason it is still looking in the old location. If I remove my sym link that I have and run php poller manually I get: ERROR: opening '/var/www/html/cacti/rra/user_switch_12th_2_37_traf...

hi, what about this: INSERT INTO `settings` VALUES ('path_webroot','/home/mbtechintra/cacti-0.8.6e'); i examined my mysql-dump for my base-bath. check your cacti mysql table! --sd Yes, this table has the correct values already... For some reason poller.php does not seem to be looking at them! Thank...

Update: I still have not found the solution to this problem. I temporarily worked around it by sym linking the old dir to the new one and it is working. I would much prefer to know how to do this correctly. Anyone? I just need to know if/what table in mysql the path information for the RRA files is ...

More information: I moved the files and install over and everything is displaying fine within cacti, but when I go to run the poller I get a bunch of these: ERROR: opening '/var/www/html/cacti/rra/server_ms_cpu_utilization_639.rrd': No such file or directory Problem is, my rrds are all stored in /sr...

Is there any way to change what base_path resolves to? Do I have to edit it in mysql?

Thanks,
Justin

Let me chime in as another corporate "customer" of cacti running Nagios as well. I would love to be able to avoid logging into the nagios interface completely! Nagios map, host summary and downtime scheduler would be top my wishlist.

BTW, anyone know of any nagios configuration programs?

Hey I'm not sure, probably more network devices vs. servers/PCs there may be a difference as to whether or not it will respond to ICMP ( regular Ping) or UDP ping. ?? No I dont live in Seattle, Georgia actually. I just like the name, and the song!!!!! You appear to be right. My server doesn't seem ...

I had that same issue where my settings were set to poll via snmp only and if snmp messed up the device was considered down// All graphs stop... I changed my setting to PING and SNMP so that if snmp service hangs or stops for some reason the graphs that are run via check_nt should not stop // I onl...

I also have a question for others doing this type of monitoring: Up until now, I have only been using check_nt to check hosts that I have SNMP on (win2k3 servers). Cacti can grab the network IF through SNMP (or anything else that SNMP offers) and I am using check_nt scripts to get WMI counter data. ...

Make your own scripts for other WMI counters I don't know if anyone else took awhile to figure this out, so I will give a quick step by step using a new Terminal Server Monitoring graph as an example. 1) Figure out what you want to monitor in Windows (we want to monitor Terminal Services for this e...

Can someone post newer instructions on using these perl scripts with NSclient. I understand the scripts, can use them just need help with adding all necessary parts for cacti. LIke step one create input methods and so on with a new version of cacti. Like at least version .8.6d /// The previous exam...
