query_host_cpu query_host_partitions problem again SOLVED

[cpt_ahab]

Hello

Once again i have the same Problem. Cacti ran totally smooth until last Saturday, when cactid hang up for no reason.
I had several cactid and php.exe running. Had to restart the machine.
And after that cactid isnt able to query_host_cpu and host_partitions
This is the log.

Code: Select all

CACTID: Host[0] DS[294] WARNING: Result from SCRIPT not valid. Partial Result: ...
CACTID: Host[0] DS[294] SCRIPT: E:\PHP\php.exe -q E:\inetpub\mrtgroot\cacti\scripts\query_host_cpu.php    get usage 0, output: U

Here is the output of the log in debug mode

Code: Select all

CACTID: Host[0] DEBUG: The POPEN returned the following File Descriptor 6
CACTID: Host[0] DS[294] WARNING: Result from SCRIPT not valid. Partial Result: ...
CACTID: Host[0] DS[294] SCRIPT: E:\PHP\php.exe -q E:\inetpub\mrtgroot\cacti\scripts\query_host_cpu.php    get usage 0, output: U
CACTID: DEBUG: SQLCMD: insert into poller_output (local_data_id,rrd_name,time,output) values (294,'cpu','2005-07-13 14:30:35','U')

What does that "U" means. Where does is come from?

When i run it manually it returns valid values like this

Code: Select all

C:\cactid>E:\PHP\php.exe -q E:\inetpub\mrtgroot\cacti\scripts\query_host_cpu.php 192.168.xx.xx public 1 get usage 0
19

All other Scripts run normal and return normal values.

There is no permission problem. The user who runs the Task for poller.php
is the same user who runs the script manually.

I changed to cactid 0.8.6e didnt work.
I took the query_host_cpu and _partition scripts from cacti 0.8.6f didnt work

any suggestions..?

1) Are you running the latest Cacti version? Did you make sure to copy over the updated script folder to your installation?

2) Output: U means it did not return any data to put into the rrd file.

3) You using php 4 or 5? If 5, you should be running php-win.exe. Also, the path to the php binary should be in your system path.

This one is likely cygwin1.dll related.

1) Do you have cygwin installed
2) If so, is the c:\cygwin\bin path in your system path
3) If not, did you build cygwin from source. Also, if not, do you have the sh.exe and cygwin1.dll in your Cactid directory.

If you are in the 3) question. The easiest way to solve this problem is by performing steps 1) & 2) and then deleting the cygwin1.dll from your Cactid directory.

Also, I would migrate to the script server as it is mucho faster than the old "depricated" script.

Updated cacti to f Version --> no changes...
Put cygwin to the system path variable--> no changes

do i still need the cygwin1.dll in the cactid directory when cygwinn ist installed..?

How do i put the scripts to the sserver..?
I know how to put custom scripts to the server.
i my scripts folder there is one ss_query_host_cpu
and the normal one query_host_cpu

just delete the one without ss ..?

Keep on searching

Works fine now.

Deleted cygwin1.dll from cactid dir
and changed to script server.


Dont know why...
