Anyone have an image they could post of what *does* work with a 2000 server - or is it nothing at all?

NAN for response

Post by Orc »

I run the script from the command line get this response:

Total:3259690 Notify:0 Update:168661 TKeyNego:57716 Standard:3033313 A:2114194 NS:308 SOA:92413 MX:1184 PTR:591861 SRV:212699 ALL:187 IXFR:0 AXFR:0 Other:20467

Go to debug the graph on the device and rrdtool runs it course and say "ok"

Cacti logs:

Stumped. . . I thought feedback from the command line meant I was getting data . . . I've changed the poller per some of the threads I've read elsewhere. ..no change. Using v2 snmp to query off of. . .change to v1 didn't help.

Sorry to bother everyone - usually don't ask questions unless I've exhausted all other options.

Oh and have gone through all the windows documentation on install etc.

Running XP SP2, active-perl 5.8.8.817 , apache 2.0.58, mysql 4.1, have netsnmp installed & cygwin - whatever the latest you can download for them.

Thanks.

host.domain.com

I think when you define the data source for the graph, it asks for the IP/hostname again. check there.

Yeah changed the name of the host for recording to the post here. Sorry - saw somewhere on this forum about not posting server names, domain, etc. I went graph management, filtered by host, click on the dns query graph and the host which the graph belongs to is right there. . .

I just don't get it. Everything looks okay just keep getting a NaN. Obviously I'm missing / overlooking something simple / basic.

Turned up logging a bit:

05/11/2006 09:48:04 AM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[4] ERROR: Empty result [hostname.domain.com]: 'perl c:/apache/apache2/htdocs/cacti/scripts/w32_dns_query_stats_2003.pl'

Thanks for responding btw.

So you have entered a valid host name in the DNS field? Can you enter its IP instead?

Sorry didn't clear that up.

If I ping the hostname I get a valid ip address and response.
If I ping the hostname.domain.com I get a valid ip address and response.

Tried to create a device using it's IP but it won't create an RRD file. Fun stuff.

Not giving up:
ran cactid --verbosity 5 -f 4 -l 4 from command line - this is the results:

CACTID: Host[4] DEBUG: The POPEN returned the following File Descriptor 9
CACTID: Host[4] DS[1081] SCRIPT: perl c:/apache/apache2/htdocs/cacti/scripts/w32_dns_query_stats_2003.pl 192.168.21.207, output: U

Still get the partial results issue. . .and empty result.

Obviously I have something setup wrong - too new to this to know where. .but will keep looking.

rrdtool info servername_total_queries_1094.rrd

captured results to a text file. I'm guessing since perl "filename" returns results that somehow when I'm creating the graphs etc - there's something being altered in the comilation?

and the answer to my ills. . .if by chance it helps anyone else:

http://www.cacti.net/cactid_download.php
As of Cactid version 0.8.6g, scripts are no longer executed through the poller with a shell. This greatly increases speed as only one process needs to be created for every script call rather than two.

Because of this change, scripts that rely on the shell environment's PATH will no longer work. You must go through your scripts under "Data Input Methods" and make sure that the "Input Script" field always contains the complete path to any binary that is referenced. After making this change, you should clear your poller cache under "Utilities" for the changes to take effect.

For example, a script that was called as "perl /path/to/my/script.pl", must now be called as "/usr/bin/perl /path/to/my/script.pl". Be sure to update your scripts in "Data Input Methods" before upgrading Cactid to prevent data loss.
just wish I had caught this earlier. In fact I thought I had tried this . . .but - it works now - not gonna complain.

WMI scripts do not work from Linux against Windows. You must use nsclient to achieve this.

Ok no probs, I've installed nsClient on my forest controller now.

What do I have to do to get this working?

I'm not a linux guy so never used it -- just know from this forum that its what others use. Search, there are plenty of posts regarding it.
