Cacti

Hello, Running Cacti v1.2.27 on some RHEL iteration. I have an issue where I need to get connection to the remote poller on 443 rather than 80. It appears that either the earlier discrete setting for the remote poller has been rolled into a grand "force HTTPS" setting or that was the old s...

Hello, I have a handful of orphan data sources that the poller uses and logs errors on because they are invalid. In searching the GUI, I cannot find the DSs, I have the search criteria set to "all" and "orphan" selected and they do not show up. I also deleted and re-created the d...

It's been a while, I mostly abandoned using custom data sources that are not SNMP because the original complaint/request is apparently still valid and I have at least one other issue when using custom data in sources that are not SNMP and it is a show-stopper, I have posted on that one also- additio...

Hello, Cacti 1.2.19, RRDTool 1.7, EPEL 8. I have some graphs set up to solid fill the area when there is no data. Graph template item: Data Source = No Source:No Data, Graph item type = AREA, CF Type = AVERAGE, GPRINT = Normal, CDEF = Unknown-Data. The area on the graph above zero is filled when the...

Do an snmpget on the failed OIDs to see if the device is returning what you expect, that is the first step I'd take.

FWIW, I do use SNMPv3 private and authenticated, it has fully successful returns on internal networks, less so on external links, particularly those with high latency.

Guessing by the file path you have a Linux box. It's most likely handled by logrotate. Mine is here: /etc/logrotate.d/cacti

The problem is intermittent. Create a new device with a template one day, it creates a data source for each graph in the device template and the next time you go to create a device with the same template, it creates one data source with all the graphs in the device template associated with it. I'm s...

Cacti imported device template and data source duplication issue Cacti 1.2.19 on Linux: Create Data Input Method, Device, Graph, Data Source templates on one system, Data source is script, has custom variable for TCP port, multiple output fields, device template has multiple graph templates associat...

This gets weirder. It started working again for no apparent reason and the remote poller stopped bringing me to the upgrade page when logging in, the web interface navigates normally- this is after it not working for several days and never finishing the upgrade on the remote. I checked the remote da...

Hello, I upgraded my primary and remote pair to 1.2.19. The upgrade process went OK on the primary, but the remote is having a problem that isn't making sense. The pair of systems has been working with the same config for a couple of years now and has been upgraded a few times successfully. When att...

Hello, I believe I now understand what is offered for custom data inputs and I don't believe that I am overlooking any steps. User experience: When creating a device with a template that includes creating a data source with Custom Data, you are not prompted to enter the Custom Data as the device is ...

That came up empty on the problem template. To be sure, I tested against a template known to have hosts and received expected results.

Thanks. Yes, when I click on the "2" there are no data sources even when I look for orphaned. Looks like I've got some corruption going on in the database; I have 3 host IDs showing with that SELECT that do not appear in the GUI. I suspect this might be related to a php-fpm hang or crash I...

Hello, I was doing some cleanup on one of my systems and I deleted some devices and their data sources when prompted. The data source template is no longer needed but I cannot delete it, it says there are two data sources using it. When you look for data sources using that template, there are none. ...

Both error messages appear to be the same.

FWIW, I most often see the connection failure when there is a network problem between the main and remote database. The main shouldn't be accessing the remote web; in one of my scenarios, my main cannot reach the remote web server and I do not get any error.
