You might have some problems with easy php, just an FYI. http://bsod2600.home.comcast.net/install_windows.html

If you do, go back to real PHP.

i followed the instruction but i stopped at section 6 of configuring cacti :
6- Log into the user account you'll be using for the scheduled task and verify starting a Cacti polling cycle works. Do this by running the following from the command prompt:

php c:\<web root>\cacti\poller.php

The output should look something like this:

C:\>php c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\poller.phpOK u:0.00 s:0.06 r:1.32OK u:0.00 s:0.06 r:1.32OK u:0.00 s:0.16 r:2.59OK u:0.00 s:0.17 r:2.6210/28/2005 04:57:12 PM - SYSTEM STATS: Time:4.7272 Method:cmd.php Processes:1 Threads:N/A Hosts:1 HostsPerProcess:2 DataSources:4 RRDsProcessed:2
After this has ran once, you should have cacti.log in /cacti/log/ and rrd files in /cacti/rra/.


how to do this please......

Q: When attempting to run poller.php you get, "This script is only meant to run at the command line"
A: Most likely caused by a misconfiguration in your php.ini file. Make sure the following is set in it:

register_argc_argv = On
safe_mode = Off

Then you need to figure out if you've not properly configured the SNMP agent or you have a firewall blocking the data.

hi,
why we must install net-snmp?
how to configure windows snmp agent without require to install net-snmp?
how to get information from my cisco 2600 router
thx

[BSOD2600]

why we must install net-snmp?

For snmp bulkwalks when you dont have PHP 5.1 or snmpv3 queries. You do NOT have to install the net-snmp snmp agent.

how to configure windows snmp agent without require to install net-snmp?

IMO, if you don't know how to install SNMP on your computer, Cacti is probably over your head. Google is your friend: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/docu ... stall.mspx

how to get information from my cisco 2600 router

Add it as a device in cacti. Add some data queries. Read the cacti manual.

Use GetIF or net-snmp snmpwalk against your local computer. Is it able to query any SNMP data? If not, you have not properly set up snmp or a firewall is blocking the data.
