Cactid 0.8.6g Beta 3 Request

[TheWitness]

All,

Here is Beta 3 of the New Cactid 0.8.6g. This version of the Multiple Script Server support is much more predictable in it's behavior and has worked properly in my environment.

Please post your results.

I'm testing this with a second cacti install and there is something I noticed for the first time.

12/09/2005 09:30:06 AM - CACTID: Poller[0] Time: 4.1103 s, Threads: 4, Hosts: 5

There are only 4 hosts enabled, and I see in the logfile that these 4 hosts are polled. But the stats at the end of the log always mentions 5 hosts. Maybe I'm missing something...

Two other points:
- I still have to create the file ChangeLog with touch
- I have to add -DOLD_MYSQL to the Makefile to compile without error. If I don't add this, I get this error:

Except these points cactid086g-b3 is working fine.

I checked this with my cactid086e install and it shows 26 hosts, but only 25 are enabled. cmd.php shows the same result. Strange.

1) Host 0 is always polled. This is support for depricated non-host based polling. Therefore, hosts will always be +1
2) You should get off of MySQL 3.23 or that version of the library. Then, the OLD stuff will no longer apply.
3) The ChangeLog thingy is due to differing versions of the auto tools. No big deal.

I thought it must be something like this.

I see, finally it's time to update our Fedora Core 3 server to something more recent...

Larry,

I am still getting a lot of these messages:
12/14/2005 08:41:56 AM - CACTID: Poller[0] ERROR: Some internal error caused snmp to return null response in snmp_get
12/14/2005 08:41:55 AM - CACTID: Poller[0] ERROR: Some internal error caused snmp to return null response in snmp_get

I put the beta on my production box (after backing it up first of course). It does complete on that box. I need to look at my laptop, it will never complete on it within the 296 secs.

Regards,
Willie

Hello Larry.

Many thanks for your great work developping the cactid poller. Could you please provide a precompiled W32 version? If possible maybe I could perform some tests over my Micro$oft platform.


Bernardo.

Again leaving defuncts behind it here, like the betas for 'f'. The final f didn't do it though.

G should be released in the next 24 or so hours.
