Perl Path?

[ichoudhury]

I started seeing "warning: Result not valid from script..." as I have been testing the WMI script to grab CPU, Mem data...

I went and ran cactid from command prompt and started getting this....

CACTID: Using cactid config file [cactid.conf]
CACTID: Version 0.8.6f-rc3 starting
sh: c:/perl/bin/perl.exe: No such file or directory
sh: c:/perl/bin/perl.exe: No such file or directory

sh: c:/perl/bin/perl.exe: No such file or directory
CACTID: Execution Time: 16.0470 s, Threads: 5, Hosts: 12


3 Things that I have done were.....

1) Patch (already did a fallback)
2) cactid (tried with old one but also this one works fine yesterday)
3) rrdtool (already fallback)


Any idea why cactid (perhaps those script) looking for perl in c:\perl when my perl is in D:\perl (and also in the env variable)

Did you check that the perl path is not hard coded into the Data Input Method? It should just use the name perl to call it for the script.

That was so right on the money!

a recently implemented Memory utilization script from here by using the import feature...and it was set to c:\perl --- didn't checkback

Thank you...

Although, I must have screwed up something in the process because now when I run cactid, I am not getting those magic small numbers

Tried cactid (0.8.6e, RC3 and RC5) -> More or less same numbers ...

I hate to install this thing all over again... I have it in DEBUG mode and I will paste the output in a sec

I am like stuck at this level for the last 20 min

Download the latest (pre-rc7) Cactid. Also, apply the following include/config.php to your system (remember to change the vital information), and clear your poller cache.
