boost 2.4 don't upgrade some graph

[gpbuono]

Hi, I have a server FreeBSD7.1 with:

- Cacti 0.8.7b
- Plugin Architecture 2.1
- Boost 2.4

My cacti polling with spine 860 hosts and 36930 DataSource in about 300 seconds. When I enable boost some graph are not updated so I have to disable boost. In cacti.log i don't have particular errot log.

Do you have any idea ? I like to use boost. In attachment my boost configuration parameter and the boost status.
Sorry for my english...

Bye

Its likely a permissions issue. Pick one graph that is broken. Then let collection run for awhile and before a boost run force the boost run from the command prompt as root.

You will see you errors there. If no errors, then permissions. Please note, apache requires RWX to your rrdfiles unless you run the boost server.

Thank you very mutch...I did not think permission issue ... .. now boost work very good and I have improved my performance...

Cacti is really a great software ... congratulations !!!

I have another problem, last the upgrade to:

- Cacti 0.8.7d
- Plugin Architecture 2.4
- Boost 2.4
- Spine 0.8.7c

When I enable boost plugin some graphs It appears as if the data is collected properly by the script but then sometimes the rrd isn't updated. I have only for some value NaN, but if i run manually the script (perl,bash) its return all the value. I don't have any error log and if disable boost it works. The permission are the same of all rrd.

Please, help me

Run boost by hand and capture error messages.

Hi I have run boost manually "php poller_boost.php -f >boost.log " and in file boost.log i have same error like this:

ERROR: illegal attempt to update using time 1236761721 when last update time is 1236764119 (minimum one second step)
ERROR: illegal attempt to update using time 1236761721 when last update time is 1236764119 (minimum one second step)

Any idea ? thank you very much...

Bye...

You are sure this is 2,4? That message should not be occurring in this release.

TheWitness

What version of rrdtool? What platform?

Also, that error would not prevent rrdfile creation.

Hi, thank you for your support...


An other strange issue, when i disable boost and configure spine with Maximum Concurrent Poller Processes 10 and Maximum Threads per Process 50 in the log file of cacti I receive errors like this:

I must set for spine one process and 10 thread...or downgrade spine to 0.8.7c-beta1

For boost i have download this version wget http://cactiusers.org/downloads/boost.tar.gz infact in plugin managment i see boost version 2.4.

I have FreeBSD an for improve my performance I have create a ram disk for MySQL.

My server is a IBM x3650 and rrdtool version is 1.2.26

best regards

That's way too high. Yoy are likely running out of mysql connections.

Now I have set spine0.8.7c with one process and 10 thread when I enable boost plugin some graphs It appears as if the data is collected properly by the script but then sometimes the rrd isn't updated. I have only for some value NaN, but if i run manually the script (perl,bash) its return all the value.
If I increase the error in cacti.log my script catch the correct data

Run poller_boost.php and look for errors. Keep in mind that max values in RRDTool can be dropped.

i have problem too. Today upgrade from 2.2 to 2.4 and problem repeat.
I install boost, then activate it, run cache image and boost server. check syslog and phppoller - no error, but some graph not update.
If i create graph when boost server is running many time need for create rrd.

my poller settings

[TheWitness]

Are you using structured path? Are you using boost server?

TheWitness

[L0gRuS]
