ucd/net snmp Device (Disk) I/O templates - Updated - v3.1

[jnojr]

I wound up reinstalling from scratch because of another problem. I followed the guide at http://www.goldfisch.at/knowwiki/howtos/cacti#disk_io After I go to Devices, the server I want to monitor, "Associated Data Queries", I can add "ucd/net - Device I/O". But when I go to "Create Graphs for this Host", under Data Query [ucd/net - Device I/O] I get a red "Error in data query".

Back on the Device page, if I do a verbose query for ucd/net - Device I/O, it says:

+ Running data query [10].
+ Found type = '3' [snmp query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/net-snmp_devio.xml'
+ Error parsing XML file into an array.
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/net-snmp_devio.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/net-snmp_devio.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/net-snmp_devio.xml'

The contents of that file are:

Please have a look at http://docs.cacti.net/templates for a different disk_io template that may not have such a problem.

When I import this, I get dependancy unmet errors, what I am missing ?

Which version of cacti are you using?
Reinhard

[me4sun]

I am using cacti-0.8.7d. I had upgraded it from cacti-0.8.6j

[gandalf]

Unfortunately, I have to admit that the import will break even if export was done without errors. First investigation shows, that it is not a quick fix for me. So I will mark the template as broken for the moment. Due to a vacation, this will not be fixed before end of next week.

Reinhard

You mean, http://docs.cacti.net/usertemplate:data:host_mib:diskio which says: "template is broken due to export error "?

[jnojr]

Can anyone tell me how to make any Disk I/O graphs work?

[psyber]

I managed to download and fix the broken version so it works on my install, I could export it but I dont have anything near a standard cacti install so I fear the export may possibly cause others issues. Basically what I did was download the files (using a previous version of the page) put the script where it belonged, and imported the broken bit.

The things I had to fix were:
The Data Sources under Console -> Data Queries -> (Edit [SNMP - Get Disk IO]) -> Associated Graph Templates
(transactions/writes was munged)

And in the graph template I had to re-associate the writes datasource with the appropriate graph items.

I think that was it.

[jnojr]

Could someone send me a link to this template, since the link above doesn't link to the broken one?

[jiguopeng]

it's seems everything is normal , but the graph can't display .[/url]

[jnojr]

It works perfectly for me. That probably isn't much consolation for you, but the template and data source do function.

[sirhopcount]

Hi,

I am also trying to use the template but I keep getting an error when I try to import the template.

I am using the old revision:

http://docs.cacti.net/usertemplate:data ... 1240556833

But when I try to import the template I get the following error:

Error: XML: Hash version does not exist.

I am using version 0.8.7b of cacti. I tried to download the latest version of the template but the site stills says that its broken ( 0.8.7d template is broken due to export error ) but It has not been updated after 2009-04-27.

Did anyone succeed in the installation ? Is there a update version somewhere else ?

Regards,

Hopcount

i have imported the *.xml's and moved the net-snmp_devio.xml into the right location. i was able to link the data queries to graphs and associate data queries with a system. but status are 0items, 0Rows.
I see the graphs listed under Graph management. under create graphs i have data query but i only have a drop down menu "select a graph.
I get a graph for Bytes Read/Written but no graphs for Load Avg or Reads/Writes.
Cacti is installed on Win2003 0.8.7d
