New and more Poller Statistics (0.8.6i based)

[gandalf]

The first one
- Host: the total number of targets polled
- Hosts per Process: it is possible to run more than a single process in parallel. In your case "Hosts per process" = "Hosts", so you're running a single process only
- DataSources: the number of items you're polling. E.g. inbound and outbound traffic for a single interface count as "two"
- RRDs: number of rrd files used. A rrd file may incorporate 1..many data sources

The second one:
- Poller runtime: the total time betwen poller start and poller end. Should be less than 300
- Process: as said above: currently 1
- Threads: valid only when using cactid. As you're using cmd.php as a poller, the value is reported as NaN

Hello,

I use cacti0.8.6j and cactid 0.8.6i.
I don't use boost server and all the graphs run, except the "recache stats".

When I run manually the commands:
#php ss_poller.php

I have this result:
Time:1.1720 Method:cactid Processes:1 Threads:1 Hosts:4 HostsPerProcess:4 DataSources:3 RRDsProcessed:3
snmp:0 script:2 script_server:1

So the following line is miss:
RecacheTime:xxx HostsRecached:x

In the log cacti.log:
DEBUG: SQL Cell: "select value from settings where name='stats_recache'"
09/17/2007 05:52:03 PM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[3] DS[137] SS[0] WARNING: Result from SERVER not valid. Partial Result: ...

Indeed, the table Mysql settings not contain an entry for "stats_recache".

My Question:
How to make to activate the recache ?

[stefoxa]

Thank you in advance.

Hi, for some reason my rrd's aren't being created.. i ran the script server manually ss_poller works fine. I check the sql db and the data is there and being updated, but no rrds for only this script (i only have snmp script queries until now, this is my first php script in use).

I'm not sure where to look to see why the rrd's are not being created. I tryed debug logging. I also have pollperf plugin still loaded. I use cactid, but I tried with cmd.php and still no rrd, using patched .8.6.j and v0.8.6i cactid.

[gandalf]

Which graphs did you try to create? Are ALL rrds missing or only those of a specific graph? What does cacti.log show in debug mode (or just try to run cactid against this device only using --verbosity=5)

Hi,

I've set this up and all is working well, except for the recache graph. Is this made defunct in 0.8.6j or is it an addon / script I dont have?

The debug's on it check out OK.

[gandalf]

Recache should always work. Boost is the only optional one. Please post a screenshot from Graph Management in DEBUG mode

Here it is, it's nan'ing, yet every other graph (statistics/objects/runtime) is working ok

[gandalf]

Please run mysql from command line and ask for

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM `settings` WHERE name = stats_poller;

Post the output here. Are you sure to use the latest code?

[ben_c]

mysql> SELECT * FROM `settings` WHERE name = stats_poller;
ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'stats_poller' in 'where clause'

Yes, latest stable cacti/cactid/rrdtool/php/mysql

Hi Reinhard

I'm using the "old" version of your template with Cacti 0.8.7, and it returns the following error :

Code: Select all

$ /usr/bin/php -q /home/cactiuser/cacti-0.8.7/scripts/ss_poller.php
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function db_fetch_cell() in /home/cactiuser/cacti-0.8.7/scripts/ss_poller.php on line 22

Should I include global.php instead of config.php ?

[fmangeant]

Well, I've upgraded to this "new" script, and it's working fine with Cacti 0.8.7a

(and it's really nicier)

[Igloo]

ss_poller.php gives me the following error

igloo:/usr/share/cacti/site/scripts# php ss_poller.php

Fatal error: Call to undefined function db_fetch_cell() in /usr/share/cacti/site/scripts/ss_poller.php on line 26


php 5 mysql 5.

Any idea ??
