cactid SNMP Result: Host did not respond to SNMP

Post by brunom »

Hello,

First of all ... I know that Cactid is not yet supported but I was having some issues with cmd.php and I want to start using cactid ... I got the latest RC from the Announcements forum [ cacti-cactid-0.8.6e-rc23.zip ]. I am running on RHEL3 and cacti 0.8.6c.

I've changed the poller to cactid in the Web GUI and I get the following on the log files:

[...]
06/20/2005 03:45:12 PM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[40] SNMP Result: Host did not respond to SNMP
06/20/2005 03:45:12 PM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[42] PING Result: UDP: Host is Alive
06/20/2005 03:45:12 PM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[42] SNMP Result: Host did not respond to SNMP
06/20/2005 03:45:12 PM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[56] PING Result: UDP: Host is Alive
06/20/2005 03:45:12 PM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[56] SNMP Result: Host did not respond to SNMP
[...]

I am using ICMP ping just to be sure ... This happens for the 39 devices I have configured on my cacti install. SNMP is correctly configured in the machines/routers as I can snmpwalk them and cmd.php was working fine (just very slow and got some dead processes that hang the machine).

I am not sure what the issue with cactid is ... :-? Any ideas?

Cheers

Just one more detail

Post by brunom »

I am running the logging level on HIGH ... that's all the information I get ... The last lines for each polling are:

06/20/2005 03:45:12 PM - CACTID: Poller[0] Time: 11.6998 s, Threads: 1, Hosts: 39
06/20/2005 03:45:13 PM - SYSTEM STATS: Time: 12.1499 s, Method: cactid, Processes: 1, Threads: 1, Hosts: 39, Hosts/Process: 39

Re: cactid SNMP Result: Host did not respond to SNMP

Post by brunom »

OK, I figured it out. Two issues were causing this problem.

1. I had an RPM installation of Net-SNMP on my machine and that's what cactid was picking up when compiling, instead of the net-snmp-5.2.1 that I had compiled on my local box.
2. In the configure script, it wasn't passing the path to the MySQL libraries correctly, so I manually added -L/usr/lib/mysql

That solved the problem.

cactid-0.8.6e rc23 is working for me. RHEL3 + net-snmp 5.2.1

I thought I would post this here just in case someone else is having the same problem.

Cheers

Problem with cactid, while poller.php works

Post by niko »

Hi, i installed cacti 0.8.6f and with poller.php, all snmp operations works great, and cacti graph pretty good.
But, i want to pool more than 300 host with each 4 values, so i unterdtood i must use cactid.
So i installed cacti-cactid0.8.6e, and when i configure cacti to user it, instead of poller.php, i seen my host going to down state (whereas, state is up with poller.php).
I think there is a problem with this line : SNMP Result: Host did not respond to SNMP
The debug file is here :

I read the precedent post, and the compilation seems to accept mysql and snmp header :

i use net-snmp-5.2.1

So, is it due to a problem with my compilation ? Or any problem...?
Thanks
