Need some direction

[HyTeK]

Need some direction on where to t/s next.

RHEL: 3
PHP: 4.4.0
MySQL: 4.0.26
RRDTool: 1.2.11
Cacti: 0.8.6g
Apache: 2.0.46

The only poller that will actually work is cmd.php. When I try to use the cacti poller, it will not do anything. The below is the output of 1 update of the poller.php using the cmd poller and 1 instance of seeing if the graphs work. There are no errors, except that I don't see any graphs at all.

Right now I have it setup as a cronjob, and I have to use root as the user. I have tried to setup the cactiuser as everyone says in the how-to's, but everytime I set the cron to cactiuser, then chown the rra/ and /log to cactisuer, the cron will not run, and when I try to view the cacti log file, it gives me a ton of permission errors.

Now if I try to use the cacti poller, (force update of poller.php)

I get this

and it will scroll with "Waiting on 1/1 pollers." forever and never finish.

and here is the log from cacti poller

Hope this is enough information, let me know if I am doing something wrong or if someone can see something not right.

This is what I get for the output of the images

The image “http://xx.xx.xx.xx/smonitor/graph_image ... 1133632912” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Try turning off Safe Mode on PHP

[HyTeK]

I just double checked to ensure that safe mode was off, and it is.


As of right now, I have the cronjob setup with root as user, I am using the cmd.php poller, and right now in the cacti.log, every 5 minutes, all of the values appear to be updating their respective files in rra/.

I have run php poller.php and I get no errors, and so far I don't get any errors anywhere.

The only part of cacti I am confused about is the snmp options. I have the paths to snmpget and snmpwalk set, but that is about all I can find about that. cacti is installed on the local machine, but not sure if snmp would be causing my graphs to not show up at all. (in either graphs or graph management)

When I view the page source, I can see that there is suppose to be an image there, but when viewing the actual page, there is no image. just the buttons to zoom in on it and the text associated with that graph (Localhost - Memory Usage ect....)

let me know if you have any other ideas.

i have been trying a few things that I have seen on the forums...but nothing changes this one thing. no images show up at all.

and that last thing to add....if try to look at just the generated image via url (http://xx.xx.xxx.xx/smonitor/graph_imag ... 1133644425)
that is when I get the

Code: Select all

The image “http://xx.xx.xxx.xx/smonitor/graph_image.php?local_graph_id=3&rra_id=0&view_type=tree&graph_start=1070486025&graph_end=1133644425” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

looking at just the image url works because I have tried it on other cacti installations. So for some reason my images are getting errors. Any thoughts on this?

[HyTeK]

Well to add, when using IE, the only thing that is generated for the image is a number 0. So instead of generating an image, it gives me a 0.

(viewing the source in firefox shows 0 also, and gives you the image error)

So why would cacti be giving me a 0 for graphs/images?

[HyTeK]

I just went through ALL of my system logs, and this is the only thing that came up, in my error_log file, every time I try to generate graphs I get this in the log

Code: Select all

sh: line 1: /rrdtool: No such file or directory
sh: line 1: /rrdtool: No such file or directory
sh: line 1: /rrdtool: No such file or directory
sh: line 1: /rrdtool: No such file or directory
sh: line 1: /rrdtool: No such file or directory

and that is it. any idea why that is? (probably what ever this is, is making my images go blank )

[HyTeK]

wow. happen to find this from 2003.

Ok i found the solution.
i did a link !
Code:
ln -s /usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.45/bin/rrdtool /rrdtool


strange
Nabil

and now the graph images show up.

now I get nan for all the data.

on to a new problem to resolve lol


SCRATCH THAT. it works now.

figures....all I had to do was create a LINK

so for those that are not getting images, (and everything else works) try making the link.

[gandalf]

Did you check your Settings for the binary Paths?
Reinhard

[HyTeK]

well, I edited my post above, and everything works now. The only thing I had to do was make the link as shown above.

Right now everything is working fine now. (except for the traffic stats and harddrive stats, can't get them to log data)
