New and more Poller Statistics (0.8.6i based)

[gandalf]

Thank you for the pointer. Will have to verify

Shucks. I just tried to add an HRULE to the poller runtime graph template and broke it. Now I am getting the dreaded

ERROR: parameter '#FF00FFFF' does not represent a number in line LINE1:#FF00FFFF:Poller Runtime

should have done this in my dev environment first! What's the work around for this?

[eschoeller]

phew. Just fixed it by adding a single space to every "Text Format" field and saving the template.

Guys,
I'm trying to use this template and ran into some issues.
It only dispays the graphs for 'Poller Statistics - Runtime', all other graphs won't graph anything.
I imported the xml just fine and placed the php script in the right place.
I'm running it on a debian etch install (installed it from the repo, apt-get install cacti):

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep cacti
ii  cacti                             0.8.6i-3.5

and this is what I see in the logs:

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/cacti/cacti.log
11/10/2009 03:45:02 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[1] DS[25] WARNING: Result from SERVER not valid.  Partial Result:

I retried the same procedure on another box with the same problem.

Any ideas?

I'm running on debian etch as well... but with a localized install of Cacti, not the debian package. I'm running 0.8.7d.

Here's an example of the output from this template:

Code: Select all

I tried running this php script directly from the command line but ended up with this:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to undefined function:  db_fetch_cell() in /usr/local/cacti-0.8.7d/scripts/ss_poller.php on line 26

So, unfortunately I don't know how to run this via command line to try and debug the problem. Perhaps Gandalf has a better way to troubleshoot this issue.

Try kicking up the log verbosity perhaps?

You should be able to run it like this:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/php /usr/share/cacti/site/scripts/ss_poller.php

On mine, no matter what parameter I give it (ss_poller/ss_poller_items/ss_recache), it returns the same output:
/usr/bin/php /usr/share/cacti/site/scripts/ss_poller.php ss_poller_items OR
/usr/bin/php /usr/share/cacti/site/scripts/ss_poller.php ss_poller
/usr/bin/php /usr/share/cacti/site/scripts/ss_poller.php ss_recache

Code: Select all

Time:1.0391 Method:cmd.php Processes:1 Threads:N/A Hosts:3 HostsPerProcess:3 DataSources:18 RRDsProcessed:13
snmp:10 script:7 script_server:1
RecacheTime:3.9912 HostsRecached:1

Anyone?

If you want to test/debug this script from the command line, you need to use the script server.
