How Can I do to icrease the capacity of cacti to support many graphs.

The problem is when I add more device the grap's cacti like empty.

Thanks

Your question is to general, and capacity maybe not the problem.

Please explain what you are seeing when you attempt to add additional graphs.

When I activate the all graphs (5214 graphs) the cacti server show the graphs like it don't is running the poller. When desactive some graphs, then cacti server work's fine.

Ubuntu server 7.10
cacti 0.8.7a
server Dell 850

< 600 graphs is not much for cacti. See announcement forum for some metrics (including hw specs) of other cacti users. If most is SNMP stuff, I would consider an amount of about 20,000 to 30,000 data sources as an easy task for cacti using a quite current server hw

So, why cacti stop to graph?

Some ideas

[joex51]

What are the hardware specs of the machine that you are running Cacti on?

You must provide the specifications for your system. Rule of thumb, to have a healthy system, the following must be adhered to:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
cd /var/www/html/cacti/rra
TOTALRRDSIZE=`du -hk . | tr -d ' ' | tr -d '.'`
SYSTEM_STILL_SLOW=1
SYSTEM_MEMORY=`cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal | awk -F: '{print $2}' | tr -d 
' ' | tr -d 'kB'`
MEM_LEFT=($SYSTEM_MEMORY - 1024000)
echo $MEM_LEFT
echo $TOTALRRDSIZE
if [ $TOTALRRDSIZE -gt $MEM_LEFT ]; then
  echo "You Are Screwed"
else
  if [ $SYSTEM_STILL_SLOW -eq 1 ]; then
    echo "I likely have a nastry script or am not running spine"
  fi
fi
