rrd files created but no graphs

Charlie B. · Post by **Charlie B.** » Fri Oct 08, 2004 11:33 am

When i click on Debug i get teh following. It looks as though the path to the actuall rrd file is wrong on the tail end(after the E:\cacti). How can i fix that? it does not seam to be an option in the Path Setting area.

Data Source Debug

e:\rrdtool\rrdtool.exe create \
E:\cacti/rra/lcmscin_traffic_in_10.rrd \
--step 300 \
DS:traffic_in:COUNTER:600:0:100000000 \
DS:traffic_out:COUNTER:600:0:100000000 \
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:MAX:0.5:1:600 \

Goto Graph Management and select one of your problem graphs and select "Turn On Graph Debug Mode" and post what it says.

Thanks,

When i click on Debug, it bomb's the broswer i am using. It lock's up the PC also while i try and kill the 'not responding' browser. I tried it from another PC & the server and it does the same.

What could that be?

I suspect a problem with either Cacti or RRDTool. What version of RRDTool and Cacti are you running? Cacti should be at 0.8.6b.

Cacti is 0.8.6b
RRDTool download as rrdtool-1.0.48.win32-perl58-distr.zip

Do i need a Perl engine installed? I do not have ActiveState installed on this box.

Hi,
I am trying to run external scripts with cacti. I found a script in the forum which works perfectly well when I run it in the command prompt. Here is the script:

#/perl/bin/perl
use Time::HiRes qw(gettimeofday tv_interval);
my $start_time = [ gettimeofday ];
$app = `graburl http://www.yahoo.com`;
$app = `graburl http://www.cnn.com`;
$app = `graburl http://www.imd.it`;
$app = `graburl nonags.sully.net`;
$app = `graburl http://www.da.ru`;
my $end_time = [ gettimeofday ];
my $msec = tv_interval($start_time,$end_time)*1000;
print "msec:$msec"

I created a data input method with script/command input and specified the path name and then created the data source. Everything seems to be working. The rrd file is getting created and the rrdtool says OK while creating the graph. Only problem is I see just an empty graph. My cacti log file says:
10/14/2004 12:09:08 PM - SYSTEM STATS: Time: 4.6817 s, Method: cmd.php, Processes: 1, Threads: N/A, Hosts: 4, Hosts/Process: 4
10/14/2004 12:09:07 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Time: 3.1322 s, Theads: N/A, Hosts: 3

So where am I making a mistake. Everything seems to be working and still no graph. Please help!

Charlie,
I am havig the same problem you have. Whenever i turn on " graph debug mode" my browser goes crazy. Did you find any solutions?

No i have not found anything yet. I am glad i am not the only one.

I wonder if it is a php problem or cacti or snmp?

I think it is something to do with the browser. Internet explorer does'nt like it

. My graphs are working now so I don't worry about it too much. Try upgrading to the latest version of cacti and see if you have any luck regarding the graphs.
