This is my inaugural post, so firstly, thank you for having me into your community. I'm a help desk tech, less than two years into the industry and I don't have a lot of experience with servers and databases. However our senior hosting manager has moved on to a bigger company, and his roles have now become my roles. One of his last proclamations before he left was to always, always watch Cacti. How important it would be in helping me understand what going on in our rack and giving me an overall picture of the system's health.
Unfortunately Cacti is down...
I have another resource that may be able to help, however he's also the owner, wears numerous hats and has very little time. I'd like to try and get Cacti back online if I can on my own, but I'm not sure I possess enough knowledge and understanding of how everything works. I know that was a lot of background, and I should just get to the error already.
So here's the situation, we have Cacti running on a virtual machine on one of our physical servers. I noticed I wasn't getting any reports and decided to login to the portal to see what was going on. This is the error I found:
Naturally I went into the VM and I increased the size, I power the VM back up and get stuck on this screen that just continues to scroll the below text:
I let it run a good 15 minutes and that's all it kept displaying over and over. I did a little bit of Google'ing and found a couple answers that seemed to be a little different from each other, so I don't know exactly what to do. Both answers revolved around a log file being too big, if that helps. Again I'm fairly green when it comes to all this, so if you have a solution or some troubleshooting technique you want me to try please be explicit with the instructions. Any help is welcome!
