His error was he edited the lib/snmp.php file and changes something he wasn't suppose to. So, the result was SNMPv1 worked, but SNMPv2 did not.

lga, I don't know what is wrong, but if I had to guess, I would say your traffic templates are screwed up. When you attempt to make graphs, they come up, right? But the never update?

I think I found the error...

In table "snmp_query" the field "data_input_id" for the id 1 "SNMP - Interface Statistic" was equal to "86"! But data_input_id 86 doesn't exists in table "data_input". I refixed this value to "2" as in the default cacti.sql ...
It seems work ... I let to run until tomorrow to see the result ...

Thks,

Lionel.

I didn't change anything in /lib/snmp.php. I checked the value un the cacti database but it's good. The polling on network interfaces is still a failure!

here is my verbose debugging when I add the data query "SNMP - Interface Statistics" :

+ Running data query [1].
+ Found type = '3' [snmp query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/usr/share/cacti/site/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml'
+ XML file parsed ok.
+ Executing SNMP walk for list of indexes @ '.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1'
+ No SNMP data returned
+ Found data query XML file at '/usr/share/cacti/site/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/usr/share/cacti/site/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/usr/share/cacti/site/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml'

Hi,

You've maybe the same problem that me. Check your table "snmp_query".
Verify if the field "data_input_id" fixed to "2". the value "2" of "data_input_id" is in fact "Get SNMP Data (Indexed)".

That was my problem. Since I've modified this, all work right ;-)

I just checked it one more time and the value is well fixed.

Another idea?

Thanks,

check your snmp version specified in cacti (net-snmp/ucd-snmp)

I just changed to NET SNMP 5.x et it works now...
