[SOLVED]Data source warning - never seen before

Post by eholz1 »

Hello Members and Guests,

I have been using cacti since verion 1.1.18. Current using cacti-1.2.21 on Oracle Linux virtual machine. This system has been running
fine for weeks.

Every 5 minutes (approx) I get this warning:
POLLER: Poller[SBC Poller] PID[25979] WARNING: Data Template 'Interface - Traffic' is impacted by lack of complete information
2022/08/05 15:58:09 - POLLER: Poller[SBC Poller] PID[25979] WARNING: There are 1 Data Sources not returning all data leaving rows in the poller output table. Details to follow.

I have been using the CPU usage graphs on a few devices - I deleted them all to see if I still get this warning.
Any idea how to debug this one?

thanks,

Eholz1 - I love cacti

Basically only one of the two values, in or out, was returned. Try increasing you snmp timeout.

Update to the 1.2.x branch, or switch to spine. There was a known issue in 1.2.21 that has been fixed.

Hello Witness,

Thanks for the reply. actually increasing the snmp timeout makes sense.
I will also look into the newer version you mention.
I am using spine.

I did fix the issue by deleting all the CPU usage graphs, that is why
I am thinking increasing the snmp timeout might help.

I will do some experimentation.

Thanks for the product, the forum, and the reply to my post.
