Last 0.8.6x Version of Cactid - Beta1

[TheWitness]

All,

Please find the attached. This beta is the last release of Cactid for Cacti version 0.8.6x.

The next version of Cacti will require a new version of Cactid that will not be compatible with the 0.8.6x branch. Therefore, I wanted to address several outstanding bugs prior to making that change for people who will not be able to upgrade to 0.8.7 right away.

Please provide feedback here, in the forums.

Regards,

Larry,
Will you be releasing a windows version of this? Or could you provide instructions on how to compile this under windows? I have cygwin installed.

thanks for the great work.

Cygwin Version attached. You need the latest Cygwin installed in order to run.

i have the same problem with version h,i and j preversion

perl scripts don't work

cacti-cactid-0.8.6g-cygwin-1.5.20.zip is the last good version for my windows system (and i suspect this version to be a f version)

i read a post from mcutting and i have tried to compile my own version, install cygwin etc

[mcutting]

The compiled version appears to crash out on the Script Server, and never recover. I have had to roll back to the version I have already posted on the forums. I also could not compile my own version using the source code either:

"$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory"

MCutting,

autoconf
./configure

What does that do for you?

Gilles,

Send me a dump of your poller_item table. You can remove anything privileged.

When I "make" it in openSUSE, I get this:
.o cactid.o util.o snmp.o locks.o poller.o nft_popen.o php.o ping.o keywords.o -lnetsnmp -lmysqlclient_r -lmysqlclient_r -lcrypto -lz -lpthread -lm -lnsl

Try:

aclocal
autoheader
autoconf
automake
./configure

Let me know if it builds then.

Larry

[super-hornet]

Yup! It make successful.
Can I just copy the cactid (executable) and replace with my old just like that?
I do not want to use "make install" yet.

Now testing it.

Look at my polling time!!

I also suspect the irregular time is cause by slowness in the network and some monitored servers/systems as well.

[mcutting]

MCutting,

autoconf
./configure

What does that do for you?

Larry

Thanks Larry. I managed to compile it this way. Just need to test it now - I'll post findings shortly.

[mpdsville1]

Painful build on my platform .. the configure script still trips
all over itself when finding /usr/lib64/mysql and /usr/lib/mysql
both present. (see sig for config details) I linked /usr/lib/mysql
to /usr/lib64/mysql to make it behave. It's running nicely.

Question Though.. shouldn't one of the above lines be Poller[1] ?

[TheWitness]

I should really fix that 64bit vs. 32bit issue. I see you worked it out. With regard to pollers, I guess it depends on where you invision the start of things

What in the heck are you polling that takes so many processes?
