I suppose this one is due to differences between linux flavours and FreeBSD when displaying meminfo. I'd recommend using ucd/net snmp templates

This one is due to a broken graph/graph template. There's no DEF statement in there referring to any rrd file. Please make sure, the graph/graph template refers to any existing data source

when i changed ucd/net snmp templates,it is ok,but if i use cactid as poller,it return :
07/31/2007 12:09:53 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] Maximum runtime of 292 seconds exceeded. Exiting.

Did you setup cactid.conf correctly? What is returned when running cactid from cli?

the memory usage has graph，but no data is created,why is this ?

[fmangeant]

Hi

it seems you're using the "Local Linux Machine" host template.
Can you try with the "ucd/net SNMP Host" one ?

I guess you've made an error, then. Because the ucd/net snmp stat should never call a perl script.
To resolve the issue with the perl script, you may provide /full/path/to/perl in the Data Input Method; this is required for cactid. Then, please enter cli mode and run php -q rebuild_poller_cache.php to activate that change
