[solved] Data Source Debug problem

[Bram]

Hi,

I've upgraded from 0.8.7c to 0.8.7e.
Followed procedure, everything went smooth, no cuts in the graphs even.

Compiled the new spine, that one is used, everything ok.

However when trying to add new data sources, the data files don't get created.

Nothing in the logs.

Where can I start looking?

Something which I think is weird for example is this:

Code: Select all

Data Source Debug
/usr/bin/rrdtool create \
/var/www/html/cacti-0.8.7e/rra/blah_traffic_output_6304.rrd \
--step 300  \
DS:traffic_input:COUNTER:600:0:rrd_maximum     1000 \
DS:traffic_output:COUNTER:600:0:rrd_maximum     1000 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:797 \
RRA:MIN:0.5:1:600 \
RRA:MIN:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:MIN:0.5:24:775 \
RRA:MIN:0.5:288:797 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:600 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797 \
RRA:LAST:0.5:1:600 \
RRA:LAST:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:LAST:0.5:24:775 \
RRA:LAST:0.5:288:797 \

You see the last line is ending with a \ which indicates the next line should be joined to the current line.
However there's no next line.

When I execute this from the command line I get the following:

Code: Select all

[root@cacti ~]# /usr/bin/rrdtool create \
> /var/www/html/cacti-0.8.7e/rra/blah_traffic_output_6304.rrd \

> RRA:LAST:0.5:1:600 \
> RRA:LAST:0.5:6:700 \
> RRA:LAST:0.5:24:775 \
> RRA:LAST:0.5:288:797 \
> 
ERROR: min must be less than max in DS definition

Can anyone point me in the right direction?


Thanks,

1) actually the weirdness is the word "rrd_maximum" in that create statement which isn't valid, IIRC. When cacti queried the device for its snmp interface info, it should've pulled the interface speed and set that in the Data Source. What's in the Maximum Value field for this problem data source?

2) Have you installed all the patches for 0.8.7e?

BSOD2600,

I've solved it by removing the host that I was trying to get data for and adding it again, probably removing the bad maximum value.

In the past (and one of the reasons why I upgraded to this version) we were having problems discovering interfaces on a device.
It was adding "= " before all interface names and therefor coulnd't poll them properly resulting empty or non-existing data files.


Which patches are you talking about? I've just updated to the latest tar on the site and moved my templates in place.

What else is there?

Doesn't the latest version contain de latest patches?
