Device, graphs don't show up in default tree

radknee · Post by **radknee** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 11:03 pm

Just installed cacti today. My main reason for doing so is to monitor switch port traffic on a Foundry FWS24.

Was able to add the device ok. Followed instructions in the FAQ for 'How do I create traffic graphs?'. Selected interfaces, selected a graph type, and created the graph.

I can see the graph under 'Graph management'. After clicking on the graph link I see a 'missing image' icon on the page, so I assume the graph is missing.

I tried adding the graph to the default tree, but when I go to 'Graphs' all I see is localhost under default tree.

I'm using php 5.0.2 on Mac OSXS 10.3.4.

Not sure where to go from here; any help is appreciated.

Are you running poller.php every 5 minutes from cron/scheduler?

And if so, have you confirmed the permissions of the rra and logs directory, so that the user that runs poller.php has the permissions to read/write those directories?

php poller seems to run

Nothing appears Is rral and Logs directories

Cacti.log Is 0 mb

The user that is running the php is the local system administrator He has rights to everything

Am i missing something

Set the Poller to debug logging mode.

Configuration -> Settings -> General -> Poller Logging = Debug

Then run poller.php from the command line and post the output to the forums. If it's to long, you can always email it to me.

Got my graphs working by fixing the crontab command. I originally dropped this in from the manual:
*/5 * * * * cactiuser php /Users/systame/www/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

It doesn't work under OSXS (BSD variant). Works ok if I remove the user, running as root cron tab:
*/5 * * * * php /Users/systame/www/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

But, in Graphs -> Tree Mode, the Foundry switch still doesn't show as a device under default tree, though it does show up in Console -> Graph Trees -> (Edit).

There is more in that log, I need to see it.

I'm concerned why the command line thinks it's being run from the webserver. Have you altered the enviroment variables on that server?

Got my graphs working as I said above, but my switch still doesn't show in default tree. Not a huge issue but if anyone has a fix...

BTW, I'm so happy to see my switch traffic in graphs (after having researched many other apps including mrtg, cricket, and some commercial offerings) that I made a small donatian

Thank y'all for Cacti -- great app.

I figured it out. I was adding the switch to the default tree as a graph. When I added it as a device it showed up.

Device, graphs don't show up in default tree
