cactid skipping *some* data sources

[entr0py]

Hi,

CACTI: Version 0.8.6h
CACTID: Version 0.8.6f

Install has been running fine for about a year, this includes earlier versions of cacti and cactid and a migration from one server to another. Anyway, what seems to be happening is that cactid as compared to cmd.php is skipping certain data sources/metrics specifcally the ones for mysql and latency.

This is not a case of cactid skipping scripts and only getting data from snmp...clearly something has changed I am just having a hard time figuring out what and where.

Have checked for hung processes - none found.

The exact output from cactid is as follows: (note that increasing or decreasing the timeout makes no difference and that snmp is available and working for all other metrics such as cpu/net/disk/bind etc.)

It would seem that adjusting the timeout value in the cacti web interface doesn't actaully do anything.

You can adjust the timeout value manually in the MySQL database. Check the bottom of this thread for details:

thanks for the info phrawzty but the update to the timeout did not change anything. if found an issue with one of the snmp oids i am trying to get information from - in that the oid is 'invalid' though I have no idea as yet as to why it is causing it to skip unrelated graphs.

the failed objects/oids below simply return no values which shouldn't be an issue since this 'should' result in a :U values.

Please try snmpwalk against those failing OIDs from command line to verify, that the target is correctly responding to those
