Multiple snmp port fields i data template

[pemca]

Hi,

I have noticed when i create a new data template with 'Get SNMP Data' as input method i see multiple snmp port fields (5) in Custom Data section.
I have a suspicion that this has come after an import of templates.

Have anyone seen this, and are there some method to remove the extra fields ?

I'm running Cacti Version 0.8.8e on Redhat Linux 6.6.

Please find attached screen dump.

Either a bug in Cacti.... or a template you imported overwrote your 'Get SNMP Data' as input method with a bad copy. Tried 0.8.8f yet?

Hi,

I can try to ugrade to 8.8.f

Will 'Get SNMP Data' as input method then be replaced ?

thanks

Hi,

I've now upgraded to cacti 0.8.8f without any luck, still 5 snmp port entries in the data templates.

Any ideas how to move on ?

Thanks,
Peter

upgrading will not modify existing templates.

Well either you can manually fix the template but looking at them in data queries and the input fields section... or spin up a temp instance of Cacti, export the clean version of the broken template(s), and then import into your current install.

Hi,

Yes, i also thought of making a new instance of cacti and import the templates one by one to find out which template is faulty,
and try to correct it there. I have over 2000 graphs now, so starting over is no go..

thanks,
Peter

Hi,
I managed to find out, in the database how to remove the extra 'snmp port' fields caused by some
faulty export and import from an earlier version.

In \cacti\cli\ there is a repair_template script you could try running too.

Hi,

I implemented the fault again in my lab an ran the repair script.

[root@khk9dsg36 cli]# php repair_templates.php
NOTE: Performing Check of Templates
NOTE: Performing Check of Data Templates
NOTE: No Damaged Data Templates Found
NOTE: Performing Check of Graph Templates
NOTE: No Damaged Graph Templates Found

But fault was still there

Well thats a bummer. On a clean 0.8.8f install, are you able to replicate this issue? If so, what are the steps?

[pemca]

Hi,

After clean up on my test system, i created a new host template with 6 graphs and underlying snmp data templates.
I exported them and imported them on my new installed Lab, but no errors and extra snmp ports after import.

I still have the corrupted exported host template, but this is from and old cacti installation.

I do not think it's worth the time to explore more in this.

thanks
Peter
