No network graphs for Windows virtual machines

Post by Jemos »

Hello everybody,

I have just set up my cacti (version 0.8.8f+ds1-4ubuntu4.16.04.1) and everything is up and running, except the graphs for the network interfaces of the virtual machines.
In detail: CPU, RAM, DISK e.g. are being monitored and graphed absolutely correct, just the graphs for the network interfaces are failing.

I am stuck in finding a solution and would need some support.

As a basis to start off some details about the environment:

Server OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Cacti version: 0.8.8f+ds1
Windows VM which is being monitored and graphed: Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter edition
Using Windows-Feature SNMP and according windows service plus SNMP informant to deliver SNMP results to cacti
SNMP-Informant: Standard (Free-) Edition

Clicking on "Verbose query" in the Cacti WebGUI on the "SNMP_Informant_Standard - Network Statistics" displays the following result:

+ Running data query [15].
+ Found type = '3' [SNMP Query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/usr/share/cacti/site/resource/snmp_queries/snmp_informant_standard_network.xml'

The overall result is:
  • no graph is being created
  • not even a X- and Y- axis is being created
So does anybody have an idea how to solve this issue?

You shouldn't need snmp informant for traffic graphs on windows 2008, just use the standard 'SNMP - Interface Statistics' Data Query.
