Smoke-ping 0.86c

[Pumpi]

I have an problem with getting this to work .

I placed the script in the scripts dir. I can run it and get:

Code: Select all

#./ping-latency.pl xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
min:1.28 avg:4.79 max:30.1 dev:14.41 loss:0

But when I look at the graph it looks like I don't get data :s

Debug says:

RRDTool Says: OK

Doe s anyone have a clue?

I having the same problem - have I missed a solution for this problem ?

Hi.

I'm running smoke ping for 24 hours and, since the begining, although the server as been always available, the graphs only show the last 5 minutes of availability. Meaning, each time the poller runs, it leaves the last 5 minutes showing the correct state but the rest of time becomes all red.

Any sugestions??

Looks like an issue with your data source.

I'm a little lost.

Can you be a bit more specific?

Thanks.

Not without seeing 1) RRDfile 2) Database Dump.

Hello, has anyone tried shooting for a 3 hr graph like the orig smokeping has? Sometimes it is nice to see more recent activity in detail...

A 3 hr orig smokeping graph:

I have two different cacti systems using smoke pings and latency pings two non-snmp devices (community set blank, host template=none). One one system it works fine, on the other I have the exact same behaviour as noted above: scripts seems to work fine, but graph is red except for the last 5 minutes.

I checked that I'm using the exact same ping-latency script on both systems, I also run a "normal ping.pl" ping latency and that works fine. Same OS (Suse9.1) & same Cacti (latest+ patches).

I've been at this on and off for a few daysnow, there must be a solution, although I'm new to Cacti, so it may be staring me in the face..

The poller cache seems to report all OK; for both normal pingand smokeping:

The cacti log with debugging enabled, does not (to my eye) provide and clues either:

Quick followup, I see that the smoke ping rrd is not being updated, but ping.pl is:
ls -al /opt/cacti-0.8.6c/rra/ipplus_2*
-rw-r--r-- 1 wwwrun www 468988 Apr 26 07:55 /opt/cacti-0.8.6c/rra/ipplus_2_min_70.rrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 wwwrun www 71580 Apr 29 23:15 /opt/cacti-0.8.6c/rra/ipplus_2_ping_69.rrd

Would it help if I posted /opt/cacti-0.8.6c/rra/ipplus_2_min_70.rrd ?

Looks like a bug. When did this start to happen. Was it with the upgrade to 0.8.6d?

[TheWitness]

Please upgrade to 0.8.6d.

Yipee! After the upgrade it works!

Any suggestion about the other question in the thread of having more detailed graphs like 1 3 hour range.
