Cacti

Hi, Any usable information on how to get netflow data displayed in the flowviewer plugin? tcpdump is showing data on port 2055 but nothing is showing up in flowview, no device either. I'm sure some kind of configuration is required but in pure Cacti style there is zero documentation (who needs that ...

Okay after some more testing I discovered rebooting the pfsense box will break cacti interface monitoring. The device comes back up in cacti but the interface monitor will just show a flat blue line and the device uptime is incorrect, showing 400+ days online. Rebuilding the php poller or mysql data...

Tried all your suggestions but none of them work unfortunately. On top of that Cacti decided to just die and start reporting inaccurate results on the traffic monitor. Fresh install didn't help. As I noticed before SNMP and cacti seems to be a small disaster. If you're lucky it'll work, but don't ex...

Or I thought. Cacti broke down on its own and even after a reinstall traffic reporting is inaccurate as hell. On every 100MB it will add about 10MB. The problem isn't with what's being reported from the firewall.

Is there anyway to get Cacti to work as it should?

Ahh how we love mysql and their -u -p commands that don't work. I had enough of this for the week. Will continue with the neverending list of awkwardness after the weekend. Sorry for sounding so grumpy and ungrateful, I'm happy you are helping me out. Some of this shit just doesn't work like it shou...

By the way my current install just stopped working. I've tried deleting and reading my device but no interface traffic is getting logged. It's just a thin blue line at the bottom of the graph same as on the screenshot. I did try the verify all fields query on my previous tests but not the index coun...

Thank you. From where am I supposed to run those commands? [root@localhost ~]# DELETE FROM poller_reindex WHERE host_id=10; -bash: DELETE: command not found Where can I add the cron job? cron.d/0hourly has 1 in it but I'm clueless as to what that is as changing the poller and cron interval in the se...

edit: added a screenshot showing how the cpu is still updated. This is what I get running snmpwalk after the reboot. snmpwalk -v 2c -c test 192.168.2.2 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.1 IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING: em0 Cacti working Graph If I look inside that folder there are lots of rrd files so I assume Cacti...

I did try installing CactiEZ and that is what's giving all those problems. For example I now have a non existing device on the tree and any new devices aren't added anymore. New installs have a 50/50 chance of trowing mysql errors. etc. For me its very unstable running inside a VM. When it works it ...

I figured this out. Setting the poller to anything other than the cron interval seems to cause this problem. With everything set to one minute the graph and data volume appears to be correct (minus the peaks not showing).

I've been using Cacti for a week now and it's nothing but frustrations. It works, to some extent, but it will crap out on you sooner rather than later. - Sometimes simply doesn't work. Yes indeed. You need to add your devices again and hope it works. - Doesn't display devices on tree. Added your dev...

Hi, I noticed that if I reboot the pc that is running cacti (windows host, pfsense and cacti in VM) cacti becomes unable to monitor the SNMP traffic. I need to delete my whole entry and add all data sources and graphs again to make it work. Why is this happening and is there any way to fix this? I n...

Hello, I'm new to Cacti so apologies if I'm asking the obvious but I've noticed the traffic graphs created by Cacti are not accurate at all, totally missing out on bandwidth generated in short bursts. I want to use Cacti to graph the traffic going through the WAN interface on my PFsense box. I got t...
