Re: Think i screwed up a device template

looks like the interface graphs, are pointing to for it's data source is
<path_cacti>/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml

and that data source is set for Get SNMP Data (Indexed)

the SNMP get mounted partitions for it's data source is pointing to
<path_cacti>/resource/script_server/host_disk.xml

i think this should be
<path_cacti>/resource/script_queries/host_disk.xml
and set the data source to Get SNMP Data (Indexed) as well. do you agree?

No, it's right in the templates.

Could it be a count? I think it is. But my memory is foggy.

Seeing this in my log file (in fact i think most of the HMIB graphs have their counts wrong now for some reason)
2023-01-30 07:21:49 - SPINE: Poller[Main Poller] PID[441] PT[42950471040] Device[SERVER] HT[1] DS[SERVER - spoolsv.exe - Number Running] Graphs[SERVER - spoolsv.exe - Total Running] TT[27.12] SS[2] SERVER: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\plugins\hmib\templates\scripts\ss_hmib_sum_apps.php ss_hmib_sum_apps "get" "running" "spoolsv.exe", output: 2

I've been looking around, trying to figure out how to reset that counter, or figure out why it's basically doubled and should be reading Output: 1 and not Output: 2.

It may be a mute point, but in the latest release of HMIB, I moved the template scripts and resources to the proper location and out of the plugin directory.

looking on github, i downloaded the hmib plug in again, but the templates folder only has the package, the files that need to go in the script_server folder arent in there any more. i dont see those files that were in the older version anywhere in the download.

If you reimport that package (assumes yo are on 1.2.23+, the locations will move to the correct location, but then you need to repopulate you poller cache to update the poller items to pick from the new locations.

so far.. the count for what hmib is picking up for counters like instances of a service running or memory in use by a service\process is still double what it should be in reality.

Look at the script. I bet it's doing a sum.

but how would that have changed? it was working perfectly fine and then it doubled the value it sees. i had not changed anything in the script at all.. as you can see around jan 27th, it just started reporting double the value.

Is this the Graph template? If so, it's counting the "number of processes runnning" on that host. I could be threads, but somehow I doubt it.

yes thats the one.
if the service is stopped and disabled, it literally wouldnt have any threads running, so it should read 0.
instead it reads 1. it USED to read 0 until jan 27th, then it changed to what i showed.
i considered uninstalling HMIB and reinstalling..
