rrdCleaner - cleans cactis rrd dir from unused rrd's

[gandalf]

I have the same problem as dononeil. The records move to the proper "action" table, but never get executed.

Running:

Directory: rrdclean
Version: 0.36

also running Boost 2.0 and Spine (have been running boost 2.0 SVN since I installed rrdclean .36).

To note, this did work at one time, but I've often wondered if the 87K+ rrd files are exceeding the limited of this package when it comes time to delete. Can anyone help me with debugging? I'd like to know how the hooks into the poller actually work (where it is invoked, etc) to see what it is really doing/not doing.

If the rrdcleaner tables GET filled, I do not suppose it would be a cause of a very huge rrd directory. Ours holds about 16k rrd files only and works fine. Which version of PIA are you using? I suspect an issue with the poller_bottom hook that's required to work on the rrdcleaner tables

PIA 2.1

Something else that is more than likely worth noting... when I search my existing poller.php for poller_bottom I don't see any function or API call that relates. After looking futher. The poller.php on our 8.7b system is not a stock poller.php, it is an SVN rev 4705 which doesn't reference the poller_bottom API set (api_plugin_hook('poller_bottom'); is missing).

As I think more about what you said, I went back to look and found that this function appears to be introduced by the PIA (makes sense). The poller.php we have on our system is from the SVN of Cacti and thus over-writes all of the PIA changes to the poller.php file (DOH!). Once I put the PIA poller.php back in place - viola, this starts to work again.

Now I need to figure out why we went to the SVN'd poller in the first place - which I honestly can't recall.

Well, that makes sense. You may want to try to apply the PIA patches for poller.php to the SVN code. Run the patch command using "--dry-run" first

After moving to structured paths (8.7d/PIA2.4), this plug-in no longer seems to work properly. I haven't really had the time to investigate to which extent it might be broken, but has anyone else seem similar "broken" behavior or is it just me?

When selecting RRDCleaner, no RRD's are displayed for cleanup (even though we know some exist).

Thanks,

That is quite normal. My plugin does not cope with structured path yet.
Will head for a new version, but currently lacking time
