Were you using ICMP as your availability method? If so, this fix would be relevant. I am worried about those error messages. They would not have been caused by the change from pre-release to production.

No, I'm using "SNMP" as Downed Host Detection method.

Well, I had this error only 3 times since this morning, I'll keep an eye on it.

Hi Larry

I've upgraded from cactid 0.8.6i to 0.8.6k on my server #1, and here's the result :
11/27/2007 09:23:53 AM - SYSTEM STATS: Time:230.6320 Method:cactid Processes:7 Threads:17 Hosts:837 HostsPerProcess:120 DataSources:19977 RRDsProcessed:13359
11/27/2007 09:32:18 AM - SYSTEM STATS: Time:134.9162 Method:cactid Processes:7 Threads:17 Hosts:791 HostsPerProcess:113 DataSources:18674 RRDsProcessed:12510
(there are less RRDtool files updated because I've disabled ~ 40 hosts).

Just a comment of cacti-spine-0.8.7a.tar.gz

Post by peppermint »

Hi Just a comment of the tar.gz file that posted by witness at the first place...
Looks like ./config/missing and .config/depcomp contains garbage change line chars(maybe it was edited in windows?) that prevent the binaries to be compiled properly. After removing those chars, all can be compiled now and spine from this source code fixed my "buffer overflow" issue on RHEL5 x86_64. The tar.gz from cacti.net does not seem to have this problem but the source code is a bit older...

Pepper :)
