You need to change your CRON to run poller.php and not cmd.php.

The php files are not enough speed.

I have problems with poller.c
I do make and i have this error:

Pls, help me. Thanks

You must run poller.php. It will select either cmd.php or cactid based upon the settings in Settings->Poller. Seek it out and make sure that it is accurate. RRD files are no longer updated in cactid or cmd.php.

PHP - PHP 4.3.8
OS - Freebsd 4.10
GCC - gcc version 2.95.4
Net-SNMP - 5.1.2_1
MySQL - 4.0.20

This appears to be a compiler specific issue. You have a few options. The first is to upgrade GCC to a more recent version. The second is to remove alter the line in poller.c from the following:

char *result_string = (char *) malloc(BUFSIZE);

to the following

char *result_string = malloc(BUFSIZE);

TheWitness, here is my config:

PHP: 4.3.4
OS: sentinix
GCC: 2.95.3
Net-SNMP: 5.0.9
MySQL: Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.16, for sentinix-linux (i386)

I tried to change poller.c like you said but the result of make is the same.
I can't use poller.php because I have nearly 300 machines in my list devices and poller takes more than 296 sec.

Thanks in advance

You must run poller.php. It will select either cmd.php or cactid based upon the settings in Settings->Poller. Seek it out and make sure that it is accurate. RRD files are no longer updated in cactid or cmd.php.

RRD files are no longer updated in cactid or cmd.php ????????

What is that ?

cactid be most powerful for poll many of hosts.
poller.php have not the speed for that work.

thx Uwe

[TheWitness]

It is the new architecture. Granted cactid is fast. However, the new architecture is quite fast as well. This is especially true if you are using cactid.

As you become more familiar with the architecture, you will note that Cacti is updating RRD files throughout the entire polling cycle, making it more efficient in terms of real disk usage. As you become more familiar with out long range goals, you will understand why we made this choice.

If in the future, we have problems with the rrdupdate process scalling, we will write a ansi C based RRD routine, but for now, just give it a shot.

Finally, I can running cactid.
Upgrade gcc to version 3.4.0 and compile.
It's OK, but graphs don't actualize, WHY?

[TheWitness]

You must change your cron to schedule poller.php and NOT CACTID. The choice of CACTID is made in the user interface under Settings->Poller.

TheWitness

[conred]

I am using cactid in my crontab.
Pls, explain me what it's need in crontab and in poller config.

[TheWitness]

The RRDUPDATE process has been removed from cactid. It now resides in poller.php. You need to change the cron entry to run <php_path>/php <cacti_path>/poller.php instead of cactid. When you upgraded, there should have been a notice in big bold lettering indicating so. Your performance will still be on-par with cactid from earlier versions.
