hey i did that STEP BY STEP

all other stuff work
i got memory remote stuff all ok..

now im trying to just run one simple thing this example and it wont..

also im using keychain and sourcing it from .sh file before doing my stuff

i dont even see any referencve to my scripts or rrd file in cacti.log

please advise


my Input String from data input methods
/usr/local/bin/bash /myweb/httpdocs/scripts/getchannels.sh

if i run manually i get the number its supposed to give.. but i neever see data in graphs..

is there a way to call poller JUST for this rrd and see wht it does ?

logs are useless

what rrd file is made

/usr/local/bin/rrdtool create \
/myweb/httpdocs/rra/nbrchan_60.rrd \
--step 300 \
DS:nbrchan:GAUGE:600:0:300 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:797 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:600 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797 \

can someone pose a how to to create a graph in my case a concurent calls on a pbx server

i run a getchannels.sh shell with a ssh tuneling and it returns

a 3 digit number

my graphs still never contain data...

HOW can i log the dat received or error it does ? whats the options needed to be check in the settings for loggging..

i got lots of hosts being checked and seem this RRD never gets done

its a no host: get chanels thing

why doesnt cacti run it ?

In order for Cacti to latch on to values returned by a script, it should be in the format: Name:value name2:value2 etc Make sure there is no trailing space.

You can turn on debugging the loggin section to see exactly what cacti is doing.

ok so you saying cacti themselves don't know how to do this..

from
http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/htm ... graph.html

Have a tested script ready to go. I used the following script located in /home/cactiuser/bin called random2.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

print int(rand(10));


that returns only a number

not the varname


also i did what u said..

thing is

CACTI is not even running this...

I see not mention of this in logs

and Data Source Active =yes

weird
the rrd NEVER gets updated
or written to
so i coped pasted the debug one and chmod 777 and chown cacti:cacti


still nothing

You should read this: http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/htm ... cacti.html

To turn on debugging for logging to go Settings -> general. turn off Web Events logging. Change the Poller Logging Level to Debug. Post one cycle of the poller with debugging.
