Cacti

Here is my problem: I could not import the cacti_host_template_temysql_host.xml file and I don't understand why. The only things I get is a blank screen after the cacti import script timeout. Then, I have the following error message each time I try to click again on "Import Templates" dur...

I hope I didn't miss this same issue earlier in this thread... After I got this plugin installed, I was able to delete dozens of old rrd files. After that initial delete run, I noticed this plugin lists files that are being used (some, not all). I know this because after each run of poller.php, the ...

In case this helps anyone else: I had the "Permission denied" unlink() error, but I just knew I had the permissions set right. Yet, I continued to have the error. I discovered a comment on the unlink() page at php.net: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php#59122 In it, one comme...

Just an observation: I was having blank graphs, and I couldn't figure out why. I got sidetracked when I found other issues with Cacti (even found a bug!), and now I finally got back to this. I was getting the following error: 03/15/2007 08:41:33 AM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[19] DS[367] WARNING: Resul...

Hot dog. Running the poller as root did the trick (I left the Down Host Detection at "Ping and SNMP", but changed ping type to ICMP).

I'll try fmangeant's suggestion next...

"Ping and SNMP" is my current Downed Host Detection method.
I suppose I can have cacti run as root and change the UDP ping to ICMP...

I don't think this is a windows-specific question, so I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong place. I have a Linux-based Cacti box collecting data from three Linux-based boxes and three Windows 2003 boxes. One of the Windows 2003 hosts (Melbourne) suddenly shows "Down" and no data is bei...

Unable to find any existing bug reports in Mantis, bug 934 has been filed.

Found it! Line 463 of functions.php: 458 /* determine the error message to display */ 459 if ($ping_availability == AVAIL_SNMP_AND_PING) { 460 if ($hosts[$host_id]["snmp_community"] == "") { 461 $hosts[$host_id]["status_last_error"] = $ping->ping_response; 462 }else { 4...

This is a set of templates based on the project from this post: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?p=94468 I edited the php script to gather additional data, and modified the graph templates to match. The original author had a graph called "Various", and I didn't like it, so I separated...

Well, at this point, it seems that I have fixed my graphs. I removed all graphs, data sources, input methods, and everything else. Then, I installed everything according to the README, but then created a dummy host and assigned the data sources and graphs to that host. Now I have data in my graphs.

I spent HOURS troubleshooting the 'nan' issue and I didn't get anywhere. (By the way, I should mention that I am very proficient with Linux, PHP, MySQL, and Cacti.) I noticed that I had not followed your instructions for installing the templates, so I removed ALL associated graph templates, data tem...

I have the following log entry for every poller run: 03/14/2007 09:20:05 AM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] ERROR: SQL Exec Failed "update host set status = '3', status_event_count = '2', status_fail_date = '2007-03-13 08:57:33', status_rec_date = '0000-00-00 00:00:00', status_last_error = 'SNMP not perfor...

I hope I didn't miss a post on this same issue...

I've found that it takes well over 10 minutes to import the cacti_host_template_temysql_host-step300-heartbeat600.xml file (I had to temporarily increase the max_execution_time to more than 600 seconds). Is this normal?

I like this better than the other Weatherbug script, especially since this uses an XML API. Cuerrently, I have the dreaded 'nan' issue with this, however, running the wbugxml.php script at the command-line produced values. Regardless, once I figure out what my problem is, I'd like to tweak this more...
