Cacti

I am struggling to find information about remote pollers in cacti 1.2.1.
How to set them up.
Latency requirements/limitations.
New status for Data Collectors: Heartbeat.

Can anyone point me towards documentation (if it exists).

Cannot find that setting in 1.1.38, but I did find the python script to run multiple rrdtool processes in parallel.

Case closed!

I have noticed that on cacti 1.x there only seems to be ONE rrdtool process running when Boost updated the rrd files, as compared to 0.8x where a whole bunch of rrdtool processes would spin up. As a consequence the Boost update take ages on our 1.x instance while the 0.8x updates in less than 1/5th ...

The documentation says that Superlinks is now a part of Cacti 1.x, the old plugin is ignored.

I am unable to find any documentation how to use this new integrated Superlinks, and I am unable to find any information on how to migrate old content.

Any hints/information?

Sounds good, fingers crossed....

I have a remote poller with approx 35ms latency to the database/main instance. I use a 1 minute poll interval. When boost is active the remote poller is not able to finish it's poll cycle in a minute and graphing etc. fails as a consequence. This happens even if the remote poller only polls one sing...

/usr/lib64

ln -s libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0 libmysqlclient.so

Seems to do the trick.

To follow up on my own post.

The startup of a remote poller over wan connection with ~140ms latency is very slow.
Database chit chat etc takes ~15seconds before Cacti console displays poller as "Running".
Remote poller on same LAN is almost instant.

Thanks for getting back to me on this.
cacti/scripts and cacti/resources are in sync. Same files, owner and sizes.

I have a Cacti installation with 3 pollers. One main. One remote poller on same site as main. One remote poller on different continet, latency is 120-140ms. The main poller and local remote poller works fine. The remote poller on different continet does not work. It looks like the php script servers...
