Cacti on OpenBSD?

[vtmgr]

Hi,
I am trying to get Cacti (0.8.6c) running on an OpenBSD 3.6 box.

I appear to have it working mostly, except that it can't speak SNMP to anything (localhost, other devices...)

I have verified that the snmpds are running, and can query them with external tools, or snmpwalk/get on this system.

It seems like the problem is I am missing snmp.so for my php-snmp.

I have net-snmp installed. The official pkg for PHP-SNMP has a UCD based snmp, and Apache won't even start if I put that in the appropriate place.

Google has not provided my answer, so I am hoping someone more BSD savvy than I can point me at the right solution.

Thanks in advance.

How did you install everything? ports, packages?

I just went with packages for my system. Try pkg_add'ing php4-snmp-4.3.10. Then do a:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/sbin/phpxs -a snmp

Let me know if it starts flaking out on you. I had to perform a sysadmin sin in order to get mine to work right. I just don't have time at work to figure out WHY. I'd really like to know, so I'll be looking into it after work a bit.

I'm guessing it has something to do with user limitations in openbsd, like num of processes or something down that alley.

Keep me up to date.

Well, I got that part working. re-walked the configs, and tweaked some paths. Still not polling correctly, but that is probably also a path issue.

I did everything from packages. running 4.3.8, but it seems to be fine.

I may need more memory/horsepower as well.

This is a system at home, so work on it is sporadic.

Thanks for your input and help.

To help you debug the issue with polling, turn loggin up to debug level and run the poller manually, this will give you some indication of what is wrong.

Yeah, my test system seemed a bit flakey at times. It was a P3 500/256MB ram. The new production server is P4 2.8/1GB ram. I haven't had any hiccups or problems.

Hey, here's the packages that I have installed. Everything works for me:

Code: Select all

freetype-1.3.1p1    free and portable TrueType font rendering engine
gd-1.8.3            graphics library for fast PNG creation
gettext-0.10.40p1   GNU gettext
jpeg-6b             IJG's JPEG compression utilities
libiconv-1.9.1      character set conversion library
mysql-client-4.0.20 multithreaded SQL database (client)
mysql-server-4.0.20 multithreaded SQL database (server)
p5-DBD-mysql-2.9004 MySQL drivers for the Perl DBI
p5-DBI-1.43         unified perl interface for database access
p5-Net-Daemon-0.38  extension for portable daemons
p5-PlRPC-0.2018     module for writing rpc servers and clients
php4-core-4.3.10    server-side HTML-embedded scripting language
php4-mysql-4.3.10   mysql database access extensions for php4
php4-snmp-4.3.10    snmp protocol extensions for php4
png-1.2.5p5         library for manipulating PNG images
recode-3.6p1        convert files between character sets and usages
rrdtool-1.0.48      system to store and display time-series data
tiff-3.6.1p1        tools and library routines for working with TIFF images
ucd-snmp-4.2.6      extendible SNMP implementation

One thing I notice is that I'm using ucd-snmp. I haven't tried net-snmp with cacti at all. I've always gone with ucd.
