Cacti

Hey Guys, I'm thinking the interface.xml has an error in hte latest release. -bash-2.05b$ grep -r .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1 * resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml: <oid>.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1</oid> resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml: <oid>.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18</oid> resource/snmp_queries/interface...

This is a known problem with php v5, and not with cacti - but the adodb package.

If you feel up to it, i'm sure their is reference to this problem here:

http://adodb.sourceforge.net/

php v4.x should work fine.

Cheers

Is that the entire output?

Where is all the info for the 5 polled hosts?

Carl

Can you post the output of cmd.php run as the cacti user?

Thanks

Carl

In that case...

Did you compile php from scratch? It may not be in your include path

Carl

I assume you have tried graphing the host using the Cisco router template.

If that failed Try graphing the switch using its IP and the Generic SNMP enabled host, as that seems to work pretty well for most things.

Thanks

Looks like a typo: caccti

It appears GrSecurity uses kernel level restrictions, which means you aren't likely to be able to fix this directly. I Suggest setting up a cron script using root something like */5 * * * * (perl /path/to/cacti/scripts/unix_scripts.pl > /tmp/blah; chown cacti:cacti /tmp/blah) Then create a script fo...

Quick followup to this

snmpconf -g basic_setup

Will create an snmp.conf file in the current directory.

Use snmpwalk -c CommunityName -v Version-2cOr1 ipaddress to test if snmp is working correctly.

Last I checked the installation instructions for cacti were a little brief in the "add cactiuser to system" part, and easily missed Yes you do need to add a user cacti(or cactiuser note: I prefer cacti as some commands like ps limit display names to 8 chars) and this was almost certainly t...

Good to see :)

Shouldn't be necessary to reinstall, you just need to get the permissions right.

Switch the cron job to cactiuser, the change the permissions on rra/ and log/

Remember with testing - you have up to 5 minutes before you see any data.

Ok, This should not be run as root. Please use cacti or cactiuser as your username. Then run (change usernames and paths where appropriate - assuming Redhat 9 standard install): chown -R cacti:apache /var/www/html/cacti/rra chown -R cacti:apache /var/www/html/cacti/log chmod 644 /var/www/html/cacti/...

/usr/local/bin is not in the default path for crontab. If that is where php is installed then you wll need to add that to the path using PATH= at the top of your cron file _or_ use the full path to php in your crontab. To check what errors are being generated by cron, remove "> /dev/null ...&qu...

Actually yeah - running as root doesn't help.

Please run the command as it appears in your crontab, as the same user.

Thanks

Carl

Nowhere near enough info to help you there.

Search the archives here(graphs not updating should do it) for things to try, and report back results.
