cmd.php works - cactid fails: Result from SCRIPT not valid

[Wernicke]

Sorry, I just assumed you used linux since we are in the Linux/unix messageboard

tapufd,

Cactid returns better error messaging. cmd.php simply returns a blank which is valid data unfortunately.

Here are the version numbers you requested.

net-snmp version: 5.0.9
OS version: Fedora Core 2 (2.6.7-1.494.2.2smp)
PHP version: 4.3.6 (cli)
MySQL version: 12.22 Distrib 4.0.18
gcc version: 3.3.3 20040412

[tapufd]

I checked the OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.27.3.16.1.4.1 with GetIf and it contains data.
So the OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.27.3.16.1.4.1 exists and it returns the value : 6
A timeout seems unlikely because a ping gives times<1ms (server is located few meters from me).

As you can see, the errors are not always for the same hosts :

So sometimes it has problems reading SNMP data from one host, then from another host. All hosts have good connectivity.

Can you please remake using Net-SNMP 5.1.2 and try again.

Thanks,

[guerra6880]

Sorry wrong forum

[tanchez37]

Okay, I configured/installed net-snmp 5.1.2, then re-made and re-installed cactid, and I get this when cactid runs the script:

Result from SCRIPT not valid. Partial Result: cpu1:1 cpu5:1 cöselect data_query_id,action,op,assert_value,arg1 from poller_reindex where host_id=2...

However, this is the result I get if the same script is run from command line:

cpu1:1 cpu5:1 cpu15:1 memory_allocated:20278304 memoryAvailable:94016480 memoryFragmented:6919 sessionsAllocated:3 sessionsMaximum:8000 sessionsFailed:0

[TheWitness]

The error message has been fixed. Please check your script to insure that you have no extra white space at the end of the line. You can download the latest poller.c from CVS to correct.

Make sure ":" count == " " count + 1 on your output. That's the rule.

TheWitness

[tapufd]

Should the latest poller.c from CVS also correct my problem? I downloaded the latest nightly cactid-release and recreated the cactid.exe, but I still have the same problem.
I still got the same errors :
WARNING: Result from SNMP not valid. Partial Result: U...
I even got new errors with the new cactid.exe :
ERROR: The PHP Script Server Did not Respond in Time
WARNING: Result from SERVER not valid. Partial Result: U...

As I said in a previous post, I checked the OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.27.3.16.1.4.1 with GetIf and it contains data.
So the OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.27.3.16.1.4.1 exists and it returns the value : 6
A timeout seems unlikely because a ping gives times<1ms (server is located few meters from me).

Also in a previous post, it seems that cactid is not always having problems on the same server (it depends from poll to poll). Could it be, that cactid it not waiting long enough for an answer from the servers (waiting for a snmp result)?

I really want this cactid.exe to work, because I have a lot of servers to poll and every seconds I win, is good.

/tap

Windows XP (should be on win32 )
NET-SNMP 5.1.2
MySQL 4.0.20d
Cactid + Cacti 0.8.6a on latest nightly release.

[TheWitness]

Need another debug. I made changes to poller.c to strip off the invalid characters from the debug output. So, follow the previous instructions running in DEBUG and post the output. Thanks!!

TheWitness

[Speedster]

This still happens in the 0.8.6a-pre20040928 version of cactid.

Running the scripts manually are fine and there is no whitespace at the end of the result line.

Yes I have run it once in debug mode (which got the above log segment), I have tried cmd.php which works - but with over 100 hosts it does not complete within 5 minutes. It appears that cactid may not be waiting long enough for the script to provide it's output.

[TheWitness]

Cactid wait's 5 seconds for scripts to complete. Is this long enough? There may be an issue with RH and the Select syntax.

Thanks,

TheWitness

[tapufd]

Where can we change these 5 seconds? Maybe you can put an variable in the cactid.conf that allows us to change these 5 seconds?

/tap

[TheWitness]

For now, open the file poller.c in the Cactid source directory and search for the fillowing string "timeout.tv_sec = 5;" and change "5" to be something different. Then, from a shell script in the Cactid directory type the following:

make clean
make
make install

Please post your results, I am VERRRRYYYY Interested in it.
