Last 0.8.6x Version of Cactid - Beta2

Post by TheWitness »

All,

Based on feedback from a larger user, I am publishing this new version. This version deals specifically with a thread safety issue in all prior versions of Cactid as well as an argument processing issue when running from the command line.

Regards,

TheWitness

Hi Larry

beta 2 works fine on my #2 server. beta1 has been running for the last 2 weeks without any problem.

It seems this beta still contains a bug : cactid.conf is not found in /path/to/cactid/etc

I've modified cactid.h :

and it seems to work :)

Hi Gilles

I've compiled it on RedHat 4 and 5; do you want me to share it ?

Don't know how that got missed. I had it in a copy of the code somewhere. With the Changes to the Cacti SVN, who knows. I'll "whack" it again.

I'm looking for a 0.8.6j beta2 cygwin compiled version. (I've tried compiling my own cactid in cygwin but I've got issues with net-snmp and mysql compiling)

I got some problems with the already compiled cygwin cactid 0.8.6j beta 1 version.

Every time I put more than 5 threads in poller settings, I got "segmentation fault" problems.

It can fork host collection much more quickly. However, actual performance gains will be dependent on several factors. Prior to this version, it could only fork about 2000 host collections in 3-4 minutes. In this release, it should be able to attain about 10k host forks per minute depending on the number of processes and threads.

I would like to test this version on my production setup.
(I will switch back and take my chances if anything goes bad).

What are the minimum underlying requirements?
Specifically:
Which Cacti version? (Only the new beta coming out on the 22nd?)
Which Boost version?
Any Plugin Architecture requirements?

Thanks!
Thank you,

Ernie

Let me sync up with Spine to catch anything funky and post both a revised binary and source, or not.
