Cactid does not close

[thisted]

For the last couple days I have been getting gaps in my graphs due to cactid not closing. The window just stops processing. I have my timeout value set to 13 seconds to allow for some WMI collecting that I'm doing. Any idea why this is occuring? The other day when i got back to work I had approx. 30 cactid windows that were just hung and my running processes jumped to nearly 300.

Also, when Cactid is running my CPU is usually maxed. Is that normal behavior?

1) what versions of everythig are you using?
2) Make sure you're using cactid 0.8.6g
3) Yes, the WMI scripts could cause cactid to hang...
4) Yes, it is normal for your cpu usage to spike with cactid.

Cacti Version 0.8.6h
Cactid version 0.8.6g
Whatever Cygwin that comes with latest cactid
apache http server 2.0.53 for windows

If a script hangs for a longer time than the defined timeout shouldn't it just skip to the next script or snmp-get or whatever is next?

There is no max exucution time for non-snmp scripts. Do the following and look in the log around where cactid hangs

Turn the polling level in cacti to debug (Settings | Polling level) for one cycle and paste the output of the actual log file (./cacti/log/cacti.log). If it contains WEBLOG entries, then don't bother posting since they just clutter up the log. Turn off WEBEVENTS logging and try again.
