ERROR: Can not start MAC Tracking process.

Post by philipz »

Scanning frequency is 1 hour, the time to execute is between 10 and 15 minutes so there should not be a duplicate process, but still I get these messages:

...

Any idea what is going on here?

Also, if it takes up to 15 minutes for 5 switches (stacks), I guess it is not feasible to do large campuses due to the amount of time it would need to process, right?

Thanks,

It does look like your polling takes longer than it should for 5 devices. Maybe it has to do with you starting 7 process for 5 devices.

I have a problem on Ubuntu 9.10. Cacti Version 0.8.7e. Mactrack version 2.6

When I run

"php database_upgrade_php"
I got message

"This function is depricated. Please goto Plugin Management from the WebUI to Upgrade"

And when I add device to Device Tracking I got a message "Error: Save Failed"

In logs I see this:

Downloaded and copied the files into the plugin directory, overwrote all the old stuff.

Still no go with the same error.

Manually run the poller with either the '-f' or '--force' option.

Code: Select all

php -q poller_mactrack.php -f
It's been a while, so you might want to run:

Code: Select all

php -q poller_mactrack.php --help
