Not generating interface traffic graphs

rplc1976 · Post by **rplc1976** » Fri Mar 11, 2005 9:54 am

Hi

I'm suddenly have problems adding new interfaces from a device. I have tried adding a new device from sctach but still the same problem. I have looked in the poller cache and it appears to be polling correctly. However for some reason it isn't creating the RRD files that it should do.

This looks like it only happens when choose the interface - bit/sec template as when monitoring CPU etc these create graphs fine.

I ahve turned on logging and check thru that, there are no errors that I can see but still not rrd files so the graphs are being generated.

Has anybody any ideas please?

Thanks

Robin

Silly question....

Have you imported any templates?

rplc1976 · Post by **rplc1976** » Fri Mar 11, 2005 10:17 am

I haven't imported any new templates. It has been running for weeks now and is monitoring nearly a dozen devices.

It just fails when trying to create any new interface graphs.

I've just set the log to debug and still can't really finf any errors but I am quite new to Cacti so I could well be missing something really obvious.

Thanks

When I debug a data template I get:

c:\rrdtool\rrdtool.exe create \
C:\cacti\website/rra/mnisp_2611_t9_mgmt_traffic_in_1012.rrd \

So It thinks the rrd file exist but when I actaully try and find the rrd file, it is isn't there, this is also what the graph dubugging says.

It only happening on int traffic graphs.

Please can someone help,

Thanks

I really would be most grateful if someone could possibly help me or give me some idea on why my Cacti doesn;t like graphing interface traffic but is ok with CPU and Memory etc etc....

Thank you

Robin

Please post the RRDtool debug that you get from click the little wrench when viewing graphs.

This is from an existing graph that was working today and whilst I trying to fix problems with it, it looks like I've gone and broken it good and proper

Also, the existing CPU and MEM graphs have continued to work okay. It looks like any graph I try to draw using the Interface (bits/sec) template.

Thanks

Also, when I look at data source debugging I get:

c:\rrdtool\rrdtool.exe create \
C:\cacti\website/rra/cat2924_traffic_in_1049.rrd \

RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:797 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:20000 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797 \

Even though it says the RRD file is present, it actually isn't.

PLEASE can someone help me.

Thank you

Thanks for the post. I have checked and the data sources appear to be all correct however they are pointing to RRD files which actually don't exist!

This only happens with interface graphs.....CPU and memory etc are all working fine

Please refer to the post above. Then send me your database "mysqldump --user=root --password cacti > cactidump.sql".

Code: Select all

I've emailed you....

Thanks

Btw, your rrdtool debug tells us you have the problem that TheWitness said. Reread that post, it's explains how to resolve the issue with your data source template that is stoping you from graphing interface statistics.

I turned on debugging and looked at the log file but I couldn't really find anything wrong with it. Although I am new to Cacti and might be missing something. If I posted the log her would you be able to have a quick look at it for me?

This is your problem, your debug from the data source reveals it.
