Graph template issue after Upgrading from Ubuntu distro

Post by redneckgeek »

Background:
Old Cacti installation on Ubuntu 16.04 using Ubuntu distributed package. Believe it was 0.8.8f before upgrade.
Upgrade process was:
Backup database and rrd's (just in case).
comment out cron job
Git clone current to /var/www/html, set permissions..
edit config.php to match original
redirect rra -> /var/lib/cacti/rra
fix apache to point to new install
resolve dependency issues etc.
Let installation upgrade database....... fingers crossed..
seems to be mostly ok.
re-enable cron job with new paths
Wait a bit.. most stuff seems ok. using ubiquiti graph templates so all of that seems to have transited ok.
Fix issues with thold plugin (for reference - manually deleting all thold tables from database and re-installing the plugin worked)
Most devices have an advanced ping template, and was getting errors regarding the graph templates in the log files that suggested that cacti was using the old path to the ss_fping.php (/usr/share/cacti/site/....). To resolve (lazy) I renamed the old /usr/share/cacti/site and then symbolic linked /usr/share/cacti/site > /var/www/html/cacti so that the path would resolve to the new install.. errors went away from log. Now I just get:

RRDtool Says:
ERROR: don't understand 'c,b,-,e,-,3,/'
for all the Advanced Ping graphs. Complete graph debug below.
I've tried:
re-importing graph templates and data templates from a working 1.1.31 install and then deleting and re creating the graphs/data sources. Same issue/error with new graphs.
Not being any kind of graph template guru.. looking for any assistance.

Thoughts? /thanks

Looks like this is the same as viewtopic.php?f=21&t=58378 I just muddied it up with an upgrade all the way from 0.8.8f.

I can see that the C definition is missing so I would agree. If you can manual make the minor modification of adding the 'c' back into the array and taking out the 'k', that should resolve things for you.

I copied the generate_graph_def_name() function from an earlier build and it resolved the issue.

FYI, v1.1.33 is now out which corrects this issue and will automatically add zz in front of CF DEF and CDEF values to ensure that they aren't being used as variable names.
