Cacti 0.8.6d Intermittant Graphing

Post by TheWitness »

If, once upgrading to Cacti 0.8.6d, you start getting intermittant Graphing, please follow the attached post and apply the two patched files. Looking for feedback from the community as to wether or not this fixes the problem.

Your help would be appreciated on this one.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

I copied the two files directly to cacti directory which replaced the old ones, I also modified php.ini to allow max memory to be 128MB.

But, "php poller.php" generate nothing.

Cacti is run on Redhat 9, the target is a solaris 9 box with net-snmp5.1.1.

After copying back the original cmd.php&poller.php, data collection recovered but gap on graph remains.

I downloded the two patched files and applied them to my isntalltion. Graphs still display intermittent gaps. I'm posting here because I'm runnign on Linux rather then Win32 where that thread is.

Increased PHP memory and timeout values

Number Of Hosts: 3 (currently, planning to increase dramtically once this gaps thing is fixed)
Number of scripts: 0 (all my stuff is SNMP, that means no scripts right?)
Number of SNMP: 3
Number of RRD Files: 38

Any word on this? I ave upgraded to cacti e, and same issue. Only some graphs are broken. Others are fine. I have increased my PHP memory allocation to 64Megs. Should be enough.

Anyone?

I have upgraded also to CactID to try to see if that would fix the issue. Same thing though. Some Graphs are all blocked up like the poster above me.

My apologies for not being able to help track down the problem but after upgradeing to 'f' I am not having any intermittent graph problems. Thanks for your help in resolving this issue.

I also had problems that I had gaps in my graph.
I installed cacti with RPM. I also created a crontab entry for root.
It turned out that the RPM installer already did this for me.
This was causing the gaps in the graphs, as the poller didn't work well when you start it twice. Removing one crontab entry solved the problem.

Hope this helps other users.

Cacti 0.8.6d Intermittant Graphing

Post by nileshsawant »

after replacing poller.php & cmd.php graphs are somewhat ok, but Intermittant spikes are still there.

Also changed the ph.ini memory_limit to 64M but still Intermittant spikes are there.

any further solution .


Thanks in advance,
Nilesh
