RRD file creation issue

Post by mysom »

I'm having a somewhat weird issue with RRD files. I am running cacti 0.8.6h on a Fedora Core 5 system and all the basics seem to be working fine.

The issue I am having is that I have added the ~70 hosts in our network and I'm now attempting to enable the unix ping script to get some basic connectivity info from the hosts. With these hosts I created the relevant unix ping data source for each host and then created a graph for each via Graph Management.

Problem is for all the data sources I created in this way the relevant RRD file for the ping files was not created by poller.php. I've checked the obvious issues like write permissions and running poller as root but I've had no luck.

Poller outputs the following:
OK u:0.00 s:0.01 r:0.00
06/21/2006 08:32:26 PM - SYSTEM STATS: Time:71.6778 Method:cmd.php Processes:1 Threads:N/A Hosts:70 HostsPerProcess:70 DataSources:69 RRDsProcessed:1

Not clue what I may have done that prevent the other 68 hosts' rrds from being processed/created. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please check ownership and permissions on those rrd files

I have done what I can think of to address any possible permission and ownership issues. Specifically I have made sure that the rra folder is universally writable which has had no obvious affect as well as running poller.php as root.

I would expect to see some sort of error message in either the log or poller.php's output if the issue were that simple of which I have seen neither.

Are there any settings in the database somewhere that would preclude the creation of the rrd files? The one rrd file created does appear to work perfectly with regard to storing and retriving the ping data, I still have no clue why the remainder are having this issue.

Creting and updating of rrd files is seen in ./log/cacti.log when switching Settings -> Logging Level to DEBUG. Reset after one polling cycle.
You way watch

Code: Select all

php poller.php[b] from command line to not only see rrdtool commands but their results as well.
