I know you guys must hate this question...

Thats because you started the poller as root manually and your cron is running the poller as cacti user.

Fix the permissions...

Looks like my cron isn't running, the dates have not changed since I last posted..

[timed_out]

Cron process is running but the rrd files are not updating still. I have restarted cron and the server but no luck..

[root@localhost rra]# ps aux | grep cron
root 16983 0.0 0.0 116860 1212 ? Ss 20:13 0:00 crond
root 18981 0.0 0.0 103308 864 pts/0 S+ 20:28 0:00 grep cron

Did you even read my post ?

Due to your manual run all rrd files are owned by root and can only be updated by root.

But your cron is running the poller as the cacti user which is not able to write or update these rrd files.

Fix your permissions.

No I didnt, I only saw it now. Thank you

So as phalek said, the rrd files were owned by root:

[root@localhost ~]# ls -la /usr/share/cacti/rra

drwxrwxrwx. 2 cacti root 4096 Jun 25 22:03 .
drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root 4096 Jun 23 21:12 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 94816 Jun 26 22:30 asa_traffic_in_67.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 94816 Jun 26 22:30 asa_traffic_in_68.rrd

I have changed the ownership: chown cacti:cacti *.rrd

[root@localhost ~]# ls -la /var/lib/cacti/rra/
drwxrwxrwx. 2 cacti root 4096 Jun 25 22:03 .
drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root 4096 Jun 23 21:12 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 cacti cacti 94816 Jun 29 21:41 asa_traffic_in_67.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 cacti cacti 94816 Jun 29 21:41 asa_traffic_in_68.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 cacti cacti 94816 Jun 29 21:41 asa_traffic_in_69.rrd

I forced a poll (which if all is ok with cron I guess shouldnt be needed), and now im waiting.. Hope I have done the right thing..

[phalek]

Please also check your cacti.log file (log/cacti.log) if that's owned by root and the cacti user cannot write to it, then your polling will fail.

It like this right now:

[root@localhost ~]# ls -la /var/log/cacti.log
-rw-rw-rw-. 1 cacti root 18251008 Jun 29 23:10 /var/log/cacti.log

Does it need to be cacti:cacti?

Thanks Phalek

[phalek]

cacti:apache if you want to "purge/clear" it from the Cacti console.

[timed_out]

Ok that makes more sense.. learning.. Thanks.

chown cacti:apache /var/log/cacti.log

Let see what happens..

[timed_out]

oh s*** its working! Happy days are here again! Thanks Phalek, et al
