Other than that, it seems to be working just fine.

Modify line 672 of setup to look this way and see if the database warnings go away. Please let me know.

	$temp_table_suffix = rand(0,10000000000);

Yup, works. Thx.

I'm experiencing a problem when using the Boost plugin with Cacti (using Cactid) in that if I add a new graph, the associated rrd file is not created even after Boost has gone through it's rrd update cycle. Boost is otherwise updating pre-existing rrd's as it should. I can manually create the rrd file(s) but this is tedious particularly if I have a large number of devices/interfaces to add. If I disable Boost then any missing rrd files are generated as normal however my polling time shoots up to 15+ minutes.

Has anyone encountered this type of behavior that could possibly shed some light on the problem?

I'm having somewhat the same problem.. if I add devices when boost is active, the graphs often just show NaN. Not always though, seems kinda random. Some graphs show NaN all the time, some of them starts to update after a while, and some works directly as they should.

Sounds like possibly a permissions issue. With you, if the files are eventually create at the next poller pass (boost that is). I don't suspect the same issue.

I would need to get more concrete information to confirm.

It seems kinda random.. a while ago i added 3 devices with 24 graphing interface each. After two 'normal' polls, one boost-poll and two 'normal' polls more, only one of them has begun to graph. The other two shows NaN for a few normal pollercycles more, than begin to show graphs too.

[TheWitness]

Once they start graphing no problems though right?

No, not always. I added a few devices earlier, they all started graphing, but one of them stopped after a while. This have happend a couple of times since i started using boost this weekend. The other one's still works (see attached file, sorry for the terrible cropping.. just got a new laptop, no PS )

Tried the new rrdtool 1.3 beta4 also, it really did alot to boost the boost-poller.

edit: Okay, an update.. for some reason that graph i posted earlier decided it wanted to update itself.. for about 15min. 20:20 is when my boost-poller starts btw..

You must use SVN to be at all stable, unfortunately.

I am. Still getting gaps on some graphs. It seems to affect only graphs made after I installed boost, and not all of them either.. just some.

I have a new 8.7.a installation and I have just installed Boost. I keep getting this error in my Cacti Log:

How do I start the boost server in Windows? I followed the instructions as best I could ... some of the steps were not very clear.

Thanks.

This helped me with the rcaston-errors;

This is a typical gap that i get in my graphs.. I made a bunch of graphs yesterday afternoon, and they all work well untill I decide to watch them. The gaps are always from like 30min away untill now. I know this sounds strange but.. almost every graph I make after enabling boost has this same behavior.

Maybe I don't get gaps if i dont look at the graphs.. kinda moment 22 to find out

[wwwdrich]

Any word on a new release? I'm running the SVN version, but still see the occasional gap and/or system that just decides to stop updating all together (haven't tracked down why yet).
