cacti does not create rrd files

[entr0py]

i have come across this issue on two seperate servers so far. one box a fedora core 4 the other debian sarge box. both boxes installed around the same time, been running for about a year or so. major differences in how many hosts were being monitored though and load on both machine marginal. both servers stopped graphing after a while, just like that, no errors nothing. i switched back to cmd instead of cactid and all sweet. ;(

grrr.

Host 17, runs ok till right towards the end when it segfaults.

What host are you running on? Suppose, you'll have to pm TheWitness, the author of cactid

I did not see any feedbacks from him on this one so far .. but I guess he is reading the forum and will react ... or should I send him email privately?

Igor[/quote]Yep, use the pm button of the member list.

Please goto Settings->Poller and reduce your MAX OID's Per Request to 1 and see if that helps.

Do you have some more ideas where we can search for the problem?

I have found same problem and fixed with making right permissions on all cacti folders,
also made a topic here:

When you have message like when debug mode on graph:
RRDTool Says:
ERROR: opening '/var/lib/cacti/rra/localhost_load_1min_5.rrd': No such file or directory

That means rrd files are missing from cacti/rra folder,
the rra folder doesn't exist or doesn't have permissions,
or parent folder (cacti) doesn't have permissions:
to fix it run following commands:

mkdir /usr/share/cacti/rra
sudo chmod 775 /var/lib/cacti/ -R
sudo chown www-data /var/lib/cacti/ -R
sudo chmod 775 /usr/share/cacti/ -R
sudo chown www-data /usr/share/cacti/ -R
