Looks at though you may have two cron instances running. If you installed from RPM, you may be interested in looking for a cron running both as the cactiuser and as root. Disable one of them.

This has nothing to do with the up/down issues. Goto Settings->Poller and choose the SNMP ping method.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

i dont understand this :o i have installed cacti from apt-get

this is my crontab file

Code: Select all

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# m h dom mon dow user	command

*/5 * * * * ubuntu php /usr/share/cacti/site/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1
#

and this is the log of poller.php

Code: Select all

ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:/usr/share/cacti$ php /usr/share/cacti/site/poller.php

replace yum in Larry's statement by apt-get. So you will have to have a look at /etc/cron.d/cacti or "crontab -e -u ubuntu" or the like to find the second crontab entry. Please deactivate one of both.

Mistake, is your problem solved?

I've got a problem quite similar with yours, with these symptoms:
- some switchs appaer down, but is up
- snmp work
- rrdtool don't create rrd file.....but for another yes

But, there's nothing wrong in the log, only:
08/14/2007 01:37:35 PM - SYSTEM STATS: Time:152.7498 Method:cmd.php Processes:1 Threads:N/A Hosts:43 HostsPerProcess:43 DataSources:578 RRDsProcessed:291

And I don't have the double-cron issue.

So what? Do anyone know the solution?

We have the same problem as rizkimul. We have over 50 devices graphing without problem and then suddenly we can no longer get new devices to graph. One old device is also now having problems.

SNMP is fine and we can do a snmpwalk from cacti network gui. In the device list the new devices are show as down. The cmd poller runs for about 2 minutes and there is nothing obvious in the logs. There is enough disk space.
