Ping Latency Graphing from Windows

[warwick]

Hi Guys

First time Ive used cacti under windows here (windows 2000 pro SP4) using IIS

I seem to be hitting a brick wall with latency graphing, I've tried changing the ping.pl as was suggested on here some where, Ive tried advanced ping 1.2 ive tried smoke-ping and no luck. Is there a prebuilt data sorce and graph avaiable that works under windows without having to mess with it?

Sorry if its a silly Q but Ive been working on it allafternoon and am about to go insane

Thanks

What error(s) are you getting?

Turn on debugging in cacti and post a polling cycle.

You're using rrdtool-cygwin which you got from this site, right? 'cause the formatting for the rrdtool create is wrong.

[warwick]

yes I have rrdtool-cygwin-1.2.11.zip which i got from this site what wrong with the formating ? do I need to fix that somewhere in the smoke ping scripts?

viewing the smoke ping graphs also appear to lockup my browser/ not load all other graphs are fine I did not notice it doing that last night

[BSOD2600]

1) what versions of everything are you using?
2) Do any graphs work or are they all broken?
3) Turn the polling level in cacti to debug (Settings | Polling level) for one cycle and paste the output of the actual log file (./cacti/log/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.

When you manually run perl C:/cacti/scripts/ping-latency.pl 10.0.1.29 from the command line, does it work? Sure the host(s) you're trying are pingable ?

[warwick]

Advanced ping started working for me for a wee while but I kept gitting to the point where there were 10 cmd.exe running and IIS would error with there was too many users then I would have to reboot or kill all cmd.exe and restart iis. I first noticed this after a added 10 additional latancy graphs after my 1 test one had been working fine for an hour or 2

When from the cmd prompt in the cacti dir I run the cmd you mention above I get that script opening in notepad (Im guessing this is not what I should get?)

[warwick]

yes I can know the host is pingable

[warwick]

It would appear every time the poler runs 2x cmd.exe fire up and after about 20 -30 sec one of them ends but the other remains there
