The Cactid documentation mentions the need to compile Cactid with Cygwin before usage, but I can see that the binaries for Windows are already available for download in EXE format. Do I still need to run the compile command on the Cactid.exe file?

Excuse my ignorance but I am a bit confused about using Cactid instead of cmp for polling my devices.

You don't need to compile it then, but you will need cygwin installed and working for it to work.

Thanks for the info.
Now I have installed CYGWIN full installation and I have modified Cacti's settings by entering the cactid path and specified cactid as the poller instead of cmd. There are no more graphing done.
I checked the cacti log file and it shows:
08/29/2005 11:25:59 AM - POLLER: Poller[0] Maximum runtime of 296 seconds exceeded. Exiting.
08/29/2005 11:15:59 AM - POLLER: Poller[0] Maximum runtime of 296 seconds exceeded. Exiting.
08/29/2005 11:06:00 AM - POLLER: Poller[0] Maximum runtime of 296 seconds exceeded. Exiting.
After 3 cycles, I decided to revert to cmd.
I would like to use CACTID to poll my devices as I am adding 250+ routers and switches with 1500+ interfaces to monitor.
Did I forget something in installing CYGWIN?
What could have gone wrong?

Well you need to find out why the polling is timing out.
Turn the polling level in cacti to debug (Settings | Polling level) for one cycle and paste the output of the log file (./cacti/cacti.log). If it contains WEBLOG entries, then don't bother posting since they just clutter up the log. Turn off WEBEVENTS logging and try again.
What versions of everything are you running?

Thanks for your help, it is very appreciated.
1) I turned cactid back on (both poller type and path)
2) I let it run for 2 cycles and here are the results:

Did you set the security on cmd.exe, like the installation guide said?
Does cmd.php work for polling devices?

I haven't set anything special for cmd.exe
The machine's Administrator's account runs all Cacti's process.
The cmd.php polls devices without problems.
I want to use Cactid as I am adding more and more devices to it, and I want to monitor between 2000 and 2500 interfaces.

You can try this and see if you have any luck...
1) Download the RRDTool Binary from cacti's download site
2) Download the cactid.exe
3) Just put the cactid.exe and RRDTool.exe to the c:\cygwin\bin directory (including cactid.conf)
4)Set logging to DEBUG and run from c:\cacti directory ... php poller.php
What is your output?

There are those who think fast, and there are others who sleep on a decision. I belong to the third group.
Use of Cactid instead of cmd poller.
I already had RRDTools from Cacti's site (version 1.0.48)
Cactid version is 0.8.6e.
I copied RRDTool.exe, Cactid.exe, Cactid.conf and cygwin1.dll to c:\cygwin\bin.
So I overwritten cygwin1.dll from CYGWIN with the one from Cactid.
I also changed the path settings to c:\cygwin\bin\rrdtools.exe and c:\cygwin\bin\cactid.exe for RRDTools and Alternate Poller path respectively.

Excuse my ignorance but once CYGWIN is installed is there anything else that needs to be done? I mean, do you need to run something in CYGWIN as a service in Windows? Do I need to run something in permanence like a Cygwin window/process?
I am asking because I do not understand the relation or function of CYGWIN/Cactid and Cacti itself?
Thanks for your patience.
Slacuser.
Cactid version is 0.8.6e.
I copied RRDTool.exe, Cactid.exe, Cactid.conf and cygwin1.dll to c:\cygwin\bin.
So I overwritten cygwin1.dll from CYGWIN with the one from Cactid.
I also changed the path settings to c:\cygwin\bin\rrdtools.exe and c:\cygwin\bin\cactid.exe for RRDTools and Alternate Poller path respectively.

There are still no graphs.
Excuse my ignorance but once CYGWIN is installed is there anything else that needs to be done? I mean, do you need to run something in CYGWIN as a service in Windows? Do I need to run something in permanence like a Cygwin window/process?
I am asking because I do not understand the relation or function of CYGWIN/Cactid and Cacti itself?
Thanks for your patience.
Slacuser.

I guess it's my turn.
1) Disable your scheduled task
2) Turn Logging in Cacti to DEBUG
3) Open a command prompt window
4) Change directories to the Cactid directory
5) Run the following command "cactid.exe"
6) Paste your results.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Use of Cactid instead of cmd poller.
I think that we are getting there. It is encouraging.
When I run Cactid in a command prompt, I get the following result:
CACTID: Using cactid config file [cactid.conf]
CACTID: MYSQL: Connection Failed: #HY000Host 'DP04653' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
DP04653 is the computer's NetBIOS name, but the cactid.conf file is as follow:
DB_Host 192.168.101.201
DB_Database cacti
DB_User root
DB_Pass password
This result from cactid.exe running from CMD prompt is somewhat strange to me. It looks like this is a problem with rights to MySQL database. Is there a way I can allow "DP04653" access to MySQL?
Regards, Slacuser

You are correct. A good source of advice is the mysql.com web site.

One thing I did in my case is used the cygwin1.dll that came with cygwin installation instead of what came with cactid or rrdtool binary. In fact, my idea of moving them to all cygwin\bin directory was to avoid too many cygwin1.dll in the system. At any rate, also try this...
Update cactid.conf with the following info (but first create a Windows user called cactiuser with password (whatever you want to create)
DB_Host 192.168.101.201
DB_Database cacti
DB_User cactiuser
DB_Pass password
c:\mysql --user=root --password mysql
mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@192.168.101.201 IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword';
mysql> flush privileges;
then run
c:\php\php.exe c:\cacti\poller.php

DB_Host 192.168.101.201
DB_Database cacti
DB_User cactiuser

c:\mysql --user=root --password mysql
mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@192.168.101.201 IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword';

There are those who think fast, and there are others who sleep on a decision. I belong to the third group.

You guys are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!
All is working fine now and CACTID runs so darn fast when you have so many devices to monitor.
I am putting myself a note in the installation procedure to make sure that whatever I put in cactid.conf file's DB_Host statement (like IP address), I should ensure that I grant rights to "cactiuser@IP_address" in the MySQL installation steps.
Thanks to all of you guys. 2 thumbs up!
