[TheWitness]

Run cactid from the command prompt in DEBUG mode.

how i can do this. with wat command
FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE

[TheWitness]

cd <my_cactid_binary_directory>
./cactid

Logging is set from the user interface. Settings->General

sorry but i can't understand you there it is a screen shot of my general settings and my path to cactid is /usr/local/include/cactid
sorry about all trouble but i'm new with cacti

So you will have to cd to /usr/local/include/ and execute cactid from there.

Another approach: [edit]sorry, had aother look at your logging. My assumption was WRONG. Sorry for that[/edit]

My recommendation would be to turn the poller logging level to NONE and uncheck the boxes for Poller Syslog/Eventlog Selection to increase your polling. Perhaps that'll put you under the 300 second mark - its a temp fix, not long term.

MagnaChef,
sorry, but I don't support your statement. The log shows, that cactid starts polling 4 hosts. Assuming there are not only very bad running scripts, this 'should' definitely finish in some few seconds. Therefor I don't think that tuning is the solution.

The gain from turning the logging to None is minimal to say the least. The only way it would help is if you are attempting to retrieve items that are causing errors, otherwise, there is no gain from turning logging to None.

I do however, suggest that you change Logging to Low, as this will help. Because only error, warning and statistics will be put in the log.

area51,
your hosts are not reachable for udp ping (firewall??). So cacti does not even try to reach them. You may change this behaviour, if you choose "settings -> Poller -> Downed Host Detection" and select "SNMP - Reliable".

it's right host 2 and 3 are pc's on winxp without smtp host 1 is freebsd with enabled udp ping and smtp
my firewall is enabled to udp ping at all time
when i switch between cmd.php and cactid there is no graphs at all hosts
