Upgrading from 0.8.6e to 0.8.6h

Post by fla_roadkill »

Hello all,

First off i would like to thank all the people putting i hard work for Cacti. I have been using it and recommending it to companies for as long as i can remember now.

I would like to ask if someone could help me on my latest venture with Cacti though. Currently i have a 0.8.6e install, using Cacitd-f1, and THOLD running no problems.

Im trying to upgrade from 0.8.6e to 0.8.6h, and Cacitd G. I have the luxury of having another machine to test on first. So the process i have used has been the following.

* - Installed the lasted Cacti and Cactid on new host machine.
* - Copied my current mysql CACTI database and imported it into the new mysql database. No issues.
* - Copied all my RRD files from the RRA directory into the new one.
* - Verifed permissions for RRA directory and LOG directory.
* Patch the new version of Cacti and Cactid.

When I fire up the web interface, Cacti asks me if i want to upgrade the database and i proceed through the install and upgrade without any issues.

At this point im able to login with the current passwords and see my graphs that were brought over from the existing Cacti Installation.

From this point, i have issues. In the simplest form, non of the RRD's are being updated/created.

When running Cactid i don’t see any issues, everything finished well. Here is an excerpt of a debug:

Code: Select all

The connection to the database is OK etc.

Now as a test i created a NEW host on the upgraded/migrated Cacti install, and the RRD's are not being created. When deleting an existing host and specifying that the RRD's be deleted they are not.

Just to make sure this was not a Cactid issue, i tried using the PHP Poller. Same result.

To make sure that it was not an upgrade, or install/permissions problem. On the same machine, i followed the steps for installing Cacti like it was a fresh installation. No upgrade/migration, using the same Cactid binary.

At this point the RRD's are created with Cactid, and graphs are being created fine. So i know that its something with the upgrade that is causing the issues.

Is there anything that i can post here (output) that can help me determine why the RRD's are not being updated?

Thanks all in advance.

My guess would be that device needs to be reindexed. Click the green circle next to the snmp - interface traffic in associated data queries.

Thanks, but even with NEW hosts i have the issue. For instance, when creating a new host that was not in the original database, and did not have any associated RRD's i still have the issue.

Also, just out of curiosity, if you move over the database from another cacti install to another database, but don’t move the RRD files with them. Will the RRD files be created on the next poll (of course without any data)?

Thanks Rony, for some reason mine are not being created. I tried moving the database over without the RRD's and running Cactid and the PHP Poller, but no new RRD's are being created.

Im unsure what im looking for in the debug for CACTID or the PHP Poller, it looks like everything is fine. I see no errors. Just no RRD's are not being created.

Maybe you have a permission issue with cacti / rrdtool and the /rrd directory. Seems you're getting valid data at least for some data queries.

Thanks BSOD. Here are the permissions. And also, the LOG directory is working fine.

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x  2 cactiuser cactiuser    4096 Feb 13 17:44 log

drwxr-xr-x  2 cactiuser cactiuser 1105920 Feb 14 14:50 rra

One thing that i do not have is a valid FONT PATH for RRDTool 1.2.X but from the last version i did not need it. Do you think it could be giving me a problem like this?

Pleasee see attached.

Ohh i understand that, its reindexing the entries in Mysql for the hosts. Here is the debug of that command:

BUMP, hello, i ran both the poller_reindex_hosts.php, rebuild_poller_cache.php. And those finished tryed to run CACTID once again. But the RRD files are still not being updated even though the permissions are correct and Cacitd (apparenlty) is working OK.

Except for this error
ERROR: Cactid Timed Out While Processing Hosts Internal
is an output from Cactid.

Anyone have any idea's.

Hello all, i have a new development im hoping will help me out a little bit. Looking how my current working CACTI install works i know exaclty what is not running.

Currently with my working Cacti.e installation without issues. The normal behavior for the Cactid Poller is to run and gather the info, then PHP and RRDTool do there work to update the RRD files (at least this is how i perceive it to be). After all processes are done you get:

Code: Select all

02/16/2006 03:25:30 PM - SYSTEM STATS: Time: 324.8890 s, Method: cactid, Processes: 2, Threads: 40, Hosts: 570, Hosts/Process: 285, Data Sources 18595, RRDs Processed 8979
Now when i upgrade the database to cacti.h, just cactid is running and not the PHP and RRDTool process afterward.

Does anyone know the fix for this issue?
