WinXP-Win8, Win2000-Server 2012 x32/x64 Templates

I am trying to install this and have copied the SNMP queries to the snmp_queries directory but when I try to import the templates I get an error message that says Error: XML: Hash version does not exist. Any idea what is going on?

I have installed all items as specified.

After I have added the items under 'associated data queries' in the device setup, a verbose query will return data. EG:


+ Running data query [12].

+ Found data query XML file at 'C:/Apache2/htdocs/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/snmp_informant_standard_cpu.xml'

However, when I go into 'create graphs for this host', none of the SNMP Informant queries show data (where the default SNMP interface stats do show data for example). I've tried adding the graphs anyway, but even after many polling cycles there is still no data on the graphs. Can anyone assist please?

Hi,

I wonder if there is a update for 0.8.7i? Tried to import templates with success, but creating graphs tells me the following from 'Data Query Debug Information' of e.g. CPU stats:

+ Running data query [10].
+ Found type = '3' [SNMP Query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/snmp_informant_standard_cpu.xml'
+ Error parsing XML file into an array.
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/snmp_informant_standard_cpu.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/snmp_informant_standard_cpu.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/snmp_informant_standard_cpu.xml'

Is it a 0.8.7i-Problem?

Cheers,
Chris

After adding this (v.12) THold stopped triggering for any windows thresholds. I'm on Cacti 0.8.7h and THold 0.4.9. The only solution was to remove the Windows devices entirely and re-add them. Short of doing this to 40 servers I will have to revert my VM snapshot to before adding this template.

Correction, it wasn't this template that was causing the problem. It was the Maintenance Scheduler from http://svn.cacti.net/viewvc/maint/?root=Plugins.

i have the same problem in 0.8.7i
help!

Hi

I am trying to use this but getting some odd graphs!

Cacti Version 0.8.7i running on an Ubuntu 10.04 box.
Trying to monitor a Windows 2008 R2 Standard Server box - the box is purely running the Hyper-V role to run a number of virtualised Windows & Linux boxes.

The physical box has 8GB RAM. This is what I am trying to monitor, the physical box, not the guests or anything!

The "Memory Statistics (Usage)" graph in this template is not reading the memory correctly. The graph only goes up to 5GB. If you look at system info in Windows on the box it's self, you can see over 7GB of the 8GB memory is in use. Cacti's built in basic memory graph reads this correctly. Though the 'Physical' reads 0 across the board and 'Virtual memory' is what shows the memory usage correctly.

Is this because it's 64bit or the Hyper-V virtualisation doing odd things?

Monitoring another but older Windows Server 2003 SBS box, from the same Cacti install, but with only 4GB RAM in the box displays fine as expected.

Thanks
Shell

It appears that the issue is reading committed bytes from SNMP Informant gathering the correct metric because of the fact that it is a gauge32 counter. This also appears to only be with Server 2008 with anything higher than 4GB of memory. I do not see another counter under snmp informant to collect on that would represent committed bytes another way. Anyone have any ideas?

This issue appears to be present in any windows x64 OS with over 4GB of memory. After doing some research the closest I can find is that the Standard version (Free) of SNMP Informant does not include the OID to read the correct values for 64bit counters for committed bytes, however I can confirm available memory over 4GB works fine. This means your stack graph will not truly represent the amount of installed memory because of the committed bytes readings. If anyone has any ideas on how to get around this it would be much appreciated.

I'm new to Cacti, so bear with me.

I've enabled SNMP and installed SNMP Informant. I've imported the templates and copies the correct xml to the resources folder. If I make a graph without using templates, everything works fine. If I try and use any graph templates, all I get is the broken image icon.

I'm running 8.8 on CentOS 6.2. Attached is an image of the two graphs, the top is made manually, the bottom is one made by a template. Am I doing something wrong? To make the graph via template I've made a host template that has the relevant graph template attached. When I create the graphs for the host, I just put checks in the boxes for each graph template and I accept the default settings and leave any text boxes blank.



I appreciate all the work that must go into this, sorry if this is an easy answer that I'm just missing, but I've read through the template section of the 8.8 docs twice and don't think I've missed any steps.

[jocvtrhythgd]

I just realized some of the graph templates did not export correctly

[gaolinlee]

I have updated the networking template. You will only need to reimport the following file.
cacti_data_query_snmp_-_informant_network_statistics.xml

The network IO graph was showing as MB/s....the actual numbers were reported as Mb/s....so now it is correct as both report as MB/s...Enjoy!!!!


Version 9....


***EDIT****
Not sure what happened to the attachment...But I had attached it again.

[mikelbeck]

When I try to import these templates I get an error saying "Error: XML: Cacti version does not exist."

I'm using version 0.8.8. Any idea what I need to do to correct this?

[EDIT] - Never mind, had nothing to do with this script.

Hi G0dsmack,

I just want to say thank you for these templates v.12 !
It works with Cacti 0.8.8a.
Older templates version not working with Cacti 0.8.8a.

Have a nice day,

[bahiano04]

Hi G0dSmack,

I'm useing Cacti 0.8.8a and v12 of your templates but CPU template doesn't get any information:

+ Running data query [20].
+ Found type = '3' [SNMP Query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/html/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/snmp_informant_standard_cpu.xml'
+ XML file parsed ok.
+ <oid_num_indexes> missing in XML file, 'Index Count Changed' emulated by counting oid_index entries
+ Executing SNMP walk for list of indexes @ '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.1.5.1' Index Count: 0
+ No SNMP data returned

All of the other templates are working fine.

Do I have to enable something in the Windows Server ??
