cacti 0.8.5 NO GRAPH !

[cc]

hi

I've installed cacti 0.8.5 on linux SuSE 8.2 successfully

I get all default graphs without any problems:
- memory usage
- load average
- logged in users
- processes

but if I try to add a new graph like Localhost - Traffic,
then I get no graphs:

/usr/bin/rrdtool graph - \

--end=-300 \

if I look at :

#:/srv/www/htdocs/cacti/rra # ls -la
total 344
drwxr-xr-x 2 cactiuser root 4096 Feb 16 16:00 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Feb 16 15:51 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47836 Feb 19 22:36 localhost_users_6.rrd

then I cannot find localhost_traffic_in_21.rrd

permissions are OK and I've done already: chown cactiuser rra/ log/

for example if I add disk space, than it works well and I get graphs.

under Data Sources / Localhost - Traffic
I have a option:

Custom Data
Index Type Data query data sources must be created through New Graphs.
Index Value
Output Type ID Data query data sources must be created through New Graphs.

should I put something or leave empty ?


what's wrong ?

kind regards

now is working, but I don't know really why.

[Guest]

well, the same for me.
I've a openbsd 3.3. system, I've configurated all, but I couldn't see the graphs ...

I don't know why, sorry for generic question, but I'm a newbie about cacti and I don't know how solve the problem.

Any suggestion?
Thanks for support

hi cc, andrea

checkout once again the permissions!
according to your output the .rrd-files are owned by root

#:/srv/www/htdocs/cacti/rra # ls -la
total 344
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 141484 Feb 19 22:36 localhost_load_1min_5.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47836 Feb 19 22:36 localhost_mem_buffers_3.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47836 Feb 19 22:36 localhost_mem_swap_4.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47836 Feb 19 22:36 localhost_proc_7.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47836 Feb 19 22:36 localhost_users_6.rrd

do the following:

# cd /srv/www/htdocs/cacti
# chown -R cactiuser.cactigroup /log /rra

"-R" means "recursive" (apply the chown for all files within the folders)

cactiuser.cactigroup may be diffrent on your system. (if you're not shure, check /etc/crontab => the cactiuser must be listened there)

best wishes,
Mänu

[Guest]

my rra/ and log/ are cactiuser:wheel, but inside those all is root:wheel (and I don't know why, because I've used chown -R).

Now all is cactiuser:wheel:

cacti/rra:
observe# ls -la
total 3
drwxr-xr-x 2 cactiuser wheel 512 Feb 3 07:21 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 root wheel 1536 Feb 20 11:10 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 cactiuser wheel 0 Feb 3 07:21 .placeholder

cacti/log:
observe# ls -la
total 3
drwxr-xr-x 2 cactiuser wheel 512 Feb 3 07:21 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 root wheel 1536 Feb 20 11:10 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 cactiuser wheel 0 Feb 3 07:21 rrd.log

I couldn't see the graphs.
Why, problems with rrdtool?

Thanks
Andrea

I'm sorry for the "Guest" ...

NOw I've always the same errors in the apache error-log:

If that could help you to solve my problem.
Thanks for your support

I'm a newbe at cacti..I installed Sentinix which has cacti pre-configured in it. I upgraded the ..8.3? version to the current .8.5. I can query and graph the interface on an AIX box but the graphs for the mounted partitions won't graph, they just appear as a link which leads to no graphs. I can do an snmpget on the aix box and get the info, it's just not being created into a graph. I don't know what DS is in the error output below. Thanks for any ideas.

Figured out why the upgrade didn't work...when I imported the old cacti.sql for the new version, it didn't go without error so what I did was go into the cacti mysql database and removed all the tables and then I imported from the new cacti.sql to the cacti database. Now snmp works for getting mounted hard drive info via snmp from unix boxes...at last! Don't do it this way with an exsistinginstall, you will loose your data.. I use Sentinix and the stock install of cacti version .8.3a would not talk correctly to the AIX boxes via snmp. Now with version .8.5 it works fine.
