Cacti on WinXP, rrd files not created

[baynaa]

Hi all,
I am trying to install Cacti with:

cacti-0.8.6g
rrdtool-cygwin-1.2.12
php-4.3.11
mysql-4.1.16
cacti-cactid-0.8.6g

I have been trying to install Cacti on WinXP box about a week. I have followed instruction from Cacti web, and the guide under BSOD2600 signiture. But still can not get rrd files created for interface statistics. For CPU Usage graph, rrd files are created, but no data. Anyway, here is my poller log with CMD.PHP:

01/21/2006 12:59:48 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] DEBUG: About to Spawn a Remote Process [CMD: c:/php/php.exe, ARGS: -q C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/cacti/poller_export.php]

AND with CACTID:

01/21/2006 01:08:07 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] DEBUG: About to Spawn a Remote Process [CMD: c:/cactid/cactid.exe, ARGS: 0 3]

I have run the commands manually, here are results:

> c:/php/php.exe -q c:/inetpub/wwwroot/cacti/cmd.php 0 3
(no output)

Please give me hints

What happens when you manually run: php C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/cacti/poller.php ?

Hi,
Here is the poller.php output:

Once a while command window pops up, it says:

"can not find module (None) at line 1 in (none)"

I think it has something to do with SNMP!!!

That error is fixed when you install the patches for cacti.

Second, do you have anything being polled? Any data sources?

[baynaa]

Thank you for your advice. I have applied the patches. But don't get RRDs for interface statistics.

Yes, I have data sources created, but the path for RRD file is empty. I have RRD file created for 5min CPU Usage.

Here is my poller.php output:

Any idea?

1) the path for the rrd should not be blank. Should be something like <path_rra>/2400celeron_snmp_cpu_1.rrd

2) Did you notice in the log that the OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.58.0 is not valid? Correct it and you should get some data. use snmpwalk if you need.

[baynaa]

You were right, I am trying to monitor Eastern Research DNX-1U device, but i had been chosen the template for Cisco Router. I simply changed the template to "Generic SNMP Enabled host". Now i have data sources with RRD file path. But still RRD files are not created.

Output from poller.php says:
...
01/24/2006 03:13:29 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[2] SNMP: Host did not respond to SNMP
01/24/2006 03:13:29 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[2] PING: Host is alive
...

How can i change the OID values?

[BSOD2600]

What data source are you using? If its a custom one, you should be able to go in and change the OID. If not, then you need to reindex the host. Click on the green circle in the Associated data query section.

You also need to fix that Host did not respond to SNMP problem. Make sure your firewall is not blocking outbound SNMP. Also make sure SNMP is properly set up on that device along with any ACLs, etc.
