Cacti

Hey all, here's my output: [12:31:45] admin - /usr/local/cacti> sudo php script_server.php Password: PHP Script Server has Started - Parent is cmd /usr/bin/php /usr/local/cacti/scripts/ss_fping.php ss_fping (server) 20 ICMP PHP Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=15) state=1 in /usr/bi...

I know there is a threshold warning plugin for Cacti, but all I want to do is make Cacti send me e-mail alerts when/if one specific server goes down. The threshold plug-in may do something similar, but I read that it did it for all servers. I originally thought there was a way to do it within Cacti ...

The template named in the subject does not seem to return accurate data for my Linux Machines. When I set up this Cacti server it had ~20G used on the disk. Now it has ~46G used. All of the graphs for all of my servers show very similar data. I assumed it was accurate at first, but then I noticed it...

I have the latest version of everything for Advanced Ping Template 1.3 downloaded and I get nan for everything. I use Cactid and cronjob is run by root. I read some things I thought would fix it, but then I didn't have time (this was some time ago) and now I can't remember what they were or find the...

That did the trick. I guess I thought it was working before because cactid.conf was in my working directory (I was still in the source folder). Thanks!

Thanks! Took care of that. Either I forgot to search or the /'s in the search threw it off.

I have been unable to find a cactid.conf to edit. I edited the one in the tarball before I compiled, and I found one in /var/net-snmp that says not to edit it. Aside from those two, there are no others. Do I need to manually copy the one from the tarball extraction location to another location? Than...

Well, I ran cactid successfully after I recompiled, I got several errors, but I assumed that was because poller.php had to call it. When the next cronjob came around some of my graphs updated once, but then it stopped working again. When I run it I get the original error again, sudo /usr/local/cacti...

I cannot find the setting for that path, I have already corrected all of my other paths.

I changed all of the paths at the Data Input Methods section of the console. I also looked for this path in the Data Queries section and was unable to find it. I cleared the poller cache, but the new poller cache still has this invalid path: Action: 1, Script: perl /usr/local/cacti/scripts/query_uni...

Sure enough, cactid never worked because I didn't change the cactid.conf before I compiled. It is running now. Thanks!

Actually, the dag archive works through yum and I was able to install Cacti that way, it just wasn't there yet last time I installed cacti on a server. I still had the same issues that I had originally, but yum installed php right this time around (no idea why it didn't the first time) and after man...

Another interesting tidbit... Look what happens here (at a command line)... [17:37:46] admin@localhost ~> sudo php /usr/local/cacti/poller.php X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.2 Content-type: text/html <br><strong>This script is only meant to run at the command line.</strong>[17:37:57] admin@localhost - ~> I s...

I have determined that the problem lies with php and not rrdtool or apache. I removed php4 via rpm and installed php5 manually using this config command: ./configure --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d --prefix=/usr --enable-force-cgi-redirect --disable-debug --enable...

I didn't want to do that because the dag repository contains version 1.0 and I have 1.2 installed. Now that I think about it, though, 1.2 is installed in a custom location not included in the path variables, and rpm won't know it is there, so perhaps the two won't conflict (as the 1.2 version must b...
