Advanced ping issue

[jay_kumar]

My cacti installation on CentOS 4.2 is creating blanks graphs for devices created using advance ping. running the Data Query on consol with root privledge i get following error

[root@lin cacti]# php /var/www/cacti/scripts/ss_fping.php ss_fping 10.170.0.121 5 ICMP
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: method in /var/www/cacti/scripts/ss_fping.php on line 56
PHP Warning: socket_connect() expects parameter 3 to be long, string given in /var/www/cacti/lib/ping.php on line 220
PHP Warning: socket_write() unable to write to socket [89]: Destination address required in /var/www/cacti/lib/ping.php on line 244

my phpinfo shows '--enable-sockets' (i think sockets are enable in php)

I guess this is some php issue. but how do i resolve it

please help me out.

Thanks in advance

[root@lin cacti]# php /var/www/cacti/scripts/ss_fping.php ss_fping 10.170.0.121 5 ICMP

This should read

Code: Select all

php  /var/www/cacti/scripts/ss_fping.php ss_fping 10.170.0.121 ICMP 5

Sounds like a permission issue I had..
If your poller is not running as root( By the way I don't recommend doing that) than you have to give your poller user sudo permissions to create an ICMP packet to send the pings.

How would you suggest that this be setup. Please publish a procedure.
