I have problems too... :(

I can't view any graphs at all..

When using graph debugging in the WebGUI, I get this error:

RRDTool Says:
ERROR: opening 'D:\data\websites\cacti\www/rra/buzz_traffic_in_152.rrd': No such file or directory

In the rra directory, I only have one file: .placeholder

Any ideas?

Regards,
Stoltze

Set Logging to DEBUG and run the following from the command line:

"php <path_cacti>/cmd.php"

also

"php poller.php"

before doing so though, execute the following command:

mysql -u root -p cacti
> select count(*) from poller_output;
> truncate table poller_output;
> quit

Look for the obvious errors. Then, post the results of all three.

lucky,

Looking at your stdout, it appears that the rrdtool is crapping out during the update process. Were you using 1.2.10? It is clear that RRDTool is crashing.

Edit <cacti>/poller.php and comment out the lines that contain the following:

rrd_init() and rrd_close()

The poller should still operate, but you may get zombie rrdtool processes and some graphs may not update. This will help you find the rrd_create or rrd_update syntax that is crashing rrdtool.

Once you find the problem data source, please post again. It is important that we understand why rrdtool is crashing. Also, if you are not at rrdtool 1.2.10, try that first.

i'm usind rrdtool 1.2.10

i cannot understand that last night all my new graphs were created and updated for one hour?!?!?!

Code: Select all

Edit <cacti>/poller.php and comment out the lines that contain the following: 

rrd_init() and rrd_close() 

The poller should still operate, but you may get zombie rrdtool processes and some graphs may not update. This will help you find the rrd_create or rrd_update syntax that is crashing rrdtool.
i will try it tomorrow......

do you think a rrdtool 1.0.x will help for the moment?

If you have been using 1.2.x and your RRD's were created with it, you kindof stuck. With the changes noted, the poller will continue to work. If there is a problem with a template or the data causing rrdtool to crash, we need to know about it. So hang in there... please
