SNMP Data Query not creating rrd file.

Post by wfahren »

Trying to monitor my Linux TC traffic ques. I used the SNMP Data Query XML from this posting Linux TC QoS Queue Discipline Stats template and the snmp_persist.pl to for net-snmp pass_persist. I'm able to snmpwalk the OID. But can't seam to get Cacti to graph it.

Cacti - Version 0.8.7d
NET-SNMP version: 5.4.2.1
RRDtool 1.2.29

I'm new to Cacti so I'm sure it's user error. I've searched the forums and went step-by-step through the Home » Cacti 0.8.6 HowTo » Advanced Magic » Data Queries for indexed values without any luck.



1- created the Data Query (Linux - QoS Qdisc)
XML path = <path_cacti>/resources/snmp_queries/linux_qos.xml (see listing below)
Data input method = Get snmp data (indexed)


2 -created the Data Template (Linux Qos -Traffic)
Data Input Method = Get SNMP Data (indexed)
Internal Data Source Name = qdiscOutOctets
Min and max Value = 0
Data source = counter
Index type,value and ID = checked

3-created Graph Templete
Name "Linux QoS - Traffic (bits/sec)"

made sure data source was = linux QoS - Traffic (qdiscOutOctets)

Code: Select all

Item            Data Source   	 Graph Item Type         CF Type 	 Item
Item # 1 	(qdiscOutOctets):       Outbound             LINE1 	 AVERAGE 
Item # 2 	(qdiscOutOctets):       Current:              GPRINT 	 LAST
Item # 3 	(qdiscOutOctets):       Average:             GPRINT   AVERAGE
Item # 4 	(qdiscOutOctets):       Maximum:            GPRINT   MAX
4 - Add Graph Template to the Data Query
Data Query "Linux - QoS Qdisc" now as Associaed Graph Templete "Linux QoS - Traffic (bits/sec)"

5- Apply the Data Query to your Device.

6 - create New Graph (here where the problem is)
My Data Query [Linux - QoS Qdisc] is there I check on on the qdisc (index item) and hit create. No errors but the the the the item I selected never changes to gray.

Go to the Graph Management and the graph is there. Select it and turn on debug and this is what returns. There is an error opening the rrd file.

RRDTool Says:

ERROR: opening '/var/www/localhost/htdocs/cacti-0.8.7d/rra/localhost_qdiscoutoctets_20.rrd': No such file or directory
I have other graphs working and I checked the rra directory and it's not there.

turned on logging and I see this

I applied the patches and still have the same symptoms.

I think the problem is in Data Source
Under the Custom data the index Type,Value and ID are empty

Code: Select all

Index Type 	Data query data sources must be created through New Graphs.
Index Value "text box empty"  	
Output Type ID 	Data query data sources must be created through New Graphs.
Here is the create rrdtool for the rrd file

Code: Select all

Data Source Debug

/usr/bin/rrdtool create \
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/cacti-0.8.7d/rra/localhost_qdiscoutoctets_20.rrd \
--step 300  \
DS:qdiscOutOctets:COUNTER:600:0:1000000000000 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775 \
