Data Sources not being defined properly

[PricklyCacti]

Hello,

I'm having problems with some graphs not generating the way I'd hope. The graphs I'm attempting to generate use the same exact graph template, data input method (Script/Command), and data template as other graphs that DO work.


This is what it looks like for those that work:

RRDTool Command:

/usr/bin/rrdtool graph - \

--width=500 \
--alt-autoscale-max \
--lower-limit=0 \
--units-exponent=0 \
--vertical-label="Events/second" \
--slope-mode \

RRDTool Says:

OK

The broken ones look like:

RRDTool Says:

ERROR: parameter '#EAAF00' does not represent a number in line AREA:#EAAF00:[A] - Auth Required

Interestingly I can create all of the graphs manually if I add in the DEF part manually to the command.

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

The DEF statements are missing. This is which version of cacti? In General, you should verify, that the graph templated used is correct and when visiting Graph Management, the Grpah should have data sources defined to it in a proper way

I keep seeing the following in the log:

WARNING: Result from CMD not valid. Partial Result:

WARNING: Result from CMD not valid. Partial Result:

That's not related. Is error always occur if you try to get data for OIDs not supported by your target device.

When I watch the output of the poller I also see:

PHP Notice: Undefined index: availability_method in /usr/local/cacti-0.8.7/cmd.php on line 231

which shows up as:

update_host_status(HOST_DOWN, $host_id, $hosts, $ping, $item["availability_method"], $print_data_to_
stdout);

[gandalf]

Very weird. Are you using Plugin Arch? Where did you get the code?
