SNMP time was not numeric?

Post by dingy »

I just upgraded to 0.8.7. Everything was migrated and all graphing is
working.

However, when reviewing my log I see the following. Note: I cleared the
log file earlier, and the same entries were present. Has anyone seen this? I certainly didn't find anything with a search....

EDIT: The 0.8.7 patches are installed.....

Thanks.

edit lib/functions.php and place the following after line 617

Code: Select all

cacti_log("The ping time was '" . $ping->ping_status . "'");
Post you new output.

Done. Currently in the oven :) I'll let it run for 30 min or so and see what the output is!

Thanks!

Here is what I got....... Looks like no change.
Do you want me to keep the statement, comment it out, or just delete it?
Thanks.

This is odd. You must have put the statement in the wrong place. Look again for the error message and place it just before.

Much better. What are your availability settings for this host? Can you update your cmd.php and ping.php from SVN and see if this resolves that issue.

For those SQL messages, edit poller.php and look for where $cron_interval is set. Change it to "$cron_interval = 300;". That sould help that bug. Otherwise, I suspect a problem with your PHP version. What version are you running and on what platform?

poller.php changed. cron_interval is now 300 (was listed as 60).

Fedora Core 7
php 5.2.4


In my case the message did not appear until after I upgraded to 0.8.7.

After changing $cron)interval, the error still exists.
I will place the debug code in functions.php (and serach on error message as opposed to line number) and post my results... I'll also make sure
that my fingers didn't wander when I changed $cron_interval.

:oops: My Bad! I went comment happy.
That, and didn't copy the files over correctly (some time I should just shut the ofice door).

Probably be the afternoon before I can touch it again.

I have the same problem.
I've made the same change to lib/functions.php, and my output is:

Code: Select all

12/03/2007 10:50:10 AM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] WARNING: sockets support not enabled in PHP, falling back to SNMP ping
The hosts reachability options are the defaults, snmp/400/1. Though just for the hell of it I changed one host (id=13) to ping/udp/0/400/1, with no effect as you can see.
The host is, in fact, up.

[edit a few hours later]
Following up on the 'sockets support' error, I installed the relevant package and now the host I changed manually doesn't error.
This was all fine pre-upgrade, but I guess the fix is to go through every device and update them to 'ping'.
