First timer... Can't get graph to work

[andytakacs]

Ok, so this my first try to see if I can get some custom type scripts working - I want to learn more about how this software works...

Anyway, I created a quick VBScript that walks Active Directory and returns the number of members in a given group. I've been using some other scripts as examples and the documentation, most of it seems like its working but I'm getting those dreaded "NaN" results with rddtool. Here's an output of the pollers logfile that shows the relevant transactions (this is clipped, I can post an uncut version if need be)

Code: Select all

01/04/2006 11:12:06 AM - POLLER: Poller[0] CACTI2RRD: c:/rrdtool/rrdtool.exe update C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\monitoring\cacti\rra\active_directory_count_28.rrd --template Count 1136401921:250  
01/04/2006 11:12:06 AM - POLLER: Poller[0] Parsed MULTI output field 'Count:250' [map Count->Count]  
01/04/2006 11:12:06 AM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[5] DS[28] CMD: c:/windows/system32/cscript.exe //nologo C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/monitoring/cacti/scripts/ad_list.vbs, output: Count:250  

So, as far as Cacti is concered it seems like its gathering the data and sending it off to rrdtool, but the graph never updates with data, it just keeps logging the NaN. I tried running the rrdtool.exe update command and changed the timing up a little and rrdtool exited without any complaint but still that graph showed NaN. I also attached the export of the graph template I'm trying to use, in case thats causing the problem.

Any ideas for a struggling noob?

You're mightly close!

Check the permissions of the rra folder and rrd files. Make sure the IUSR and the user running the scheduled task have Modify rights.

THANK YOU!

I had the permissions right on the rrd folder, but it wasn't setup to inherit correctly so now thats fixed and everything is running ok, thanks again!
