Problem on cactid poller to run perl script

[awan]

Hi all,

I have a perl script to show bgp prefixes to graph on cacti.

Best regards,

how fast do your devices reply? i've run into the same thing when polling a weblogic server using a perl script. the only thing i can think of is the speed of the response when running the script.

Sorry for my english.
I got the same problem too.

I tried to use a very simple perl scipt (just print '10'), when I used cmd.php, it's working but when I used cactid and use debug, it looks like the perl script isn't running.

I use :
linux
cacti-0.8.6f-r1
cactid 0.8.6d
gcc 3.4.3.20050110-r2
mysql 4.0.24-r1
php 5.0.3
net-snmp-5.2.1

I need to used cactid because it's much faster than cmd.php

Did I miss anything ?

Thx.

Just wanted to pipe up that I am having the same problem. I will be very interested in getting this fixed. I added some test to my perl script and I can see that when I initially configure the host to fun the script it works and I get my pollable items, but then the script is not run when it comes time for the 5 minute polls. My info is below:

Gentoo 2005.0 Kernel 2.6.12-gentoo-r6
Cacti 0.8.6f-r1
Cactid 0.8.6e
net-snmp 5.2.1.2
Perl 5.8.6-r5
PHP 4.4.0

Unfortunatly this is older hardware and the cmd.php just isn't an option. Thanks for any help!

I will release rc8 tonight. I believe that it is ready for release. I am still working on some "performance" related issues, but I believe stability should be back where it needs to be.

I downloaded cactid .8.6e-rc8 via cvs and I am having a problem compiling. In $CVSROOT/trunk/cactid I ran autoconf -v -o configure configure.ac

Then ./configure which produced no errors. I then ran 'make' and errored out here:

gcc -I/usr/include/net-snmp -I/usr/include/net-snmp/.. -I/usr/include/mysql -g -O2 -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -o cactid sql.o cactid.o util.o snmp.o locks.o poller.o nft_popen.o php.o -lnetsnmp -lcrypto -lmysqlclient -lmysqlclient -lz -lpthread -lm -lnsl

Am I doing something wrong? Please let me know if you need any info about my system. Thanks for the help!

autoconf 2.59-r6

The Trunk version is highly unstable and designed for a much different Cacti. You need to use BRANCH_0_8_6.

I was able to compile the rc8 cactid, but now even the snmp checks are broken, I recieve an error log full of this:

CACTID: Poller[0] Host[4] DS[265] WARNING: Result from SNMP not valid. Partial Result: ...

Thanks for any help.
