0.8.6b cactid upgrade - graphs not updated

tehopson · Post by **tehopson** » Mon Oct 11, 2004 3:40 pm

Just upgraded to 0.8.6b from 0.8.5a. Everything appeared to run perfect. Unfortunately, none of my graphs are updating with cactid. Are there any gotcha's I may have missed on this?

Have you tried using poller.php to update the graphs instead of cactid?

Same thing here, did a upgrade on a Debian system yesterday from 0.8.5b to 0.8.6b and none of the graphs were being updated. Changed crontab to use poller.php and tried both polling methods, no luck. When I turned up logging to DEBUG it would start polling data then end up saying:
Waiting for 1/1 pollers
Waiting for 1/1 pollers
.....
repeating this forever. I tried to increase the number of processes or threads, no help. Had to downgrade to 0.8.5b to get it working again. Anyone with suggestions?

System is Debian Linux (testing distro) with
mysql 4.0.21
php 4.3.9
rrdtool 1.0.48

Poller.php works, but takes longer than 5 min to complete. It is odd...it seems to do what it's supposed to do, reporting back the data snmp collected, just does nothing with the rrds.

permissions and/or ownership of rra & log dirs perhaps?

tehopson · Post by **tehopson** » Tue Oct 12, 2004 8:08 am

I've checked the permissions on the two directories...everything looks good. Tried moving all of my rrd's into a folder to see if they would be regenerate and still no go. I'm totally stumped.

Hey Folks,

Instead of starting a new thread I'm going to update this one as well.

I just noticed the same problem. I upgraded last thursday. No graph updates, although cactid claims 77 hosts are processed. So, I assumed it was a problem with cactid. I went ahead and changed over to poller.php.

Same problem. I've considered the permissions as well, and deleted the poller cache. Running as root from the command line, only some of my graphs are updated!

(and poller does see my hosts:
10/12/2004 09:12:21 AM - SYSTEM STATS: Time: 8.6298 s, Method: cmd.php, Processes: 1, Threads: N/A, Hosts: 77, Hosts/Process: 77)

Check this:
# ls -lt

-rw-r--r-- 1 cactiuser root 141484 Oct 12 09:12 mismon_load_1min_12.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 cactiuser root 47836 Oct 12 09:12 mismon_proc_14.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 cactiuser root 47836 Oct 12 09:12 mismon_users_13.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 cactiuser root 47836 Oct 12 09:12 mismon_mem_buffers_10.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 cactiuser root 47836 Oct 12 09:12 mismon_mem_swap_11.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 cactiuser root 94660 Oct 7 12:25 server25_ds0_302.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 cactiuser root 94660 Oct 7 12:25 server25_ds0_301.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 cactiuser root 94660 Oct 7 12:25 server25_ds0_300.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 cactiuser root 94660 Oct 7 12:25 access_system_ds0_294.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 cactiuser root 94660 Oct 7 12:25 access_system_ds0_295.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 cactiuser root 94660 Oct 7 12:25 access_system_ds0_296.rrd

As an example:
And I just ran this, as root, by hand from the command line.
I'm really interested in what's going on.
For me, I'm going to to have to revert to my old version

This is far too important to wait on. I wish I caught it sooner!

Wish I could say the same. Everything works fine, except that rrd's are not created nor updated

I have this problem too. First I encountered it from an upgrade. I did a freash install and got the same problem. im out of ideas

Same problems here. I posted a new thread about my problems. Basically rrd's stopped updating in the middle of the morning last sunday while everyone was in bed.

In my searches I came across this topic and since I had lowered my logging level I decided to raise it.

This has helped with being able to see _some_ diagnostic information but of course hasn't helped get my RRD's updated.

I upgraded to the latest release with no joy...

Aspirax,

Your problem in the attached was that you were not using poller.php. Poller.php is required in Cacti 0.8.6x. You select cmd.php or cactid from the user interface under Settings->Poller.
