cmdphp Partial Result, images blank and values nan

[duncanrshannon]

Hi all-

I have cacti up and runnin on SLES9, wiht all the components installed by source:

apache: 2.0.55
mysql-max: 4.0.26
php: 4.4.1
rrdtool:1.0.50
net-snmp:5.1
cacti:0.8.6g

I created some graphs (localhost and others) and they are seen as "UP". When i view the graphs, they are blank. THe current, average and max values are all "nan"

The data seems to be generated:

WHen i snmpwalk (with -v 1 or -v 2c) to localhost, I get what appears to be normal data:

Code: Select all

ntux01:/var/log # snmpwalk -v 2c -c  public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1

IF-MIB::ifIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
IF-MIB::ifIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
IF-MIB::ifIndex.3 = INTEGER: 3
IF-MIB::ifIndex.4 = INTEGER: 4

when I snmpwalk to a remote (linux) host (redhat 9), -v 2c seems to error, and -v 1 retunrs nothing.

Code: Select all

ntux01:/var/log # snmpwalk -v 2c -c  public ntux .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1
IF-MIB::ifIndex = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID
ntux01:/var/log # snmpwalk -v 1 -c  public ntux .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1

I did see the post about selinux.. I am running SLES9 ( Suse Enterprise 9) which has a couple selinux pkgs installed, but i never configured them and the files referenced in the selinux post dont exist. Ill remove them and see if that helps.


Of course everything else went very smoothly...

thanks much in advance.

I followed the install (http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/con ... How-To.pdf)... but yet im getting permission errors? what should the perms be?

I see they are now: (and they look suspect!)

cactiuser@ntux01:/opt/apache/htdocs/cacti> ls -lah /opt/apache/htdocs/cacti/scripts/linux_memory.pl
-rw------- 1 dshannon users 119 2005-09-08 18:56 /opt/apache/htdocs/cacti/scripts/linux_memory.pl

Is it just a missing step in that guide? .... me searches around for a bit.

[duncanrshannon]

i chmod'd 666 all the scripts and now the graphs are pretty.

shrug.

[gandalf]

The poller runs from crontab, so it is wise to
1) supply all executables with full path info
2) make all of them at least readable for the crontab user executing them
Reinhard

[duncanrshannon]

1) the full path was there.
2) the chmod 666 on the scripts got it working, and is all im going to do on it for now.

thanks.
