EDIT: Advanced Ping Template Version 1.3 for Cacti 0.8.6g

treimers · Post by **treimers** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 9:54 am

I've set up a ping on a host outside.
Created the 'device' as a Windows/XP host, and as a type 'none'
since SNMP isn't involved here.

when I select that device, create a graph, I can then select the AdvPing 1.3

When I run this, I get good results
[root@acslinux cacti]# /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/cacti/scripts/ss_fping.php esis.ncwise.org 10 TCP 80
min:23.8300 avg:31.9010 max:81.2800 dev:17.5068 loss:0.0000[root@acslinux cacti]#

So I don't know what the following error is:

RRDTool Says:

ERROR: opening '/var/www/html/cacti/rra/ncwise_dev_583.rrd': No such file or directory

It looks like I've done something dumb creating my device and linking the graph output to it.....

What am I missing in creating a host?

Newbie directions on using this would be handy just now-- unlike many of you, I'm not converting from existing stuff... just trying to get started with pinging a host...

You surely left the community string for that host empty to suppress "availabilty" checks?

so that's how you disable SNMP for a host..

I thought there'd be a checkbox smoewheres....

will try that..

One other host is working fine-- albeit that it returns all pings at 100ms or better... which aint' true from the commandline of the Linuxbox...

Hi Lvm,

I am using cacti0.8.6h, I only imported the advanced ping template since the ss_fping.php and ping.php already exists in the cacti directory. Im wondering why I am getting nan values or my graph is only red. I tried manually the ss_fping.php script using script server and the result is good. However when I used rrdtool fetch on the database all I can see is nan. Anybody has any idea here? or Do I have to overwrite the existing ss_fping.php or ping.php with the ones you posted.

Thanks and Good Day

That's what I did--- just overwrote all of it...

Unfortunately, I cannot get away from some RRDTool errors,
and the one host I have pinging on ICMP just reports 100%... not actual packet statistics..

Yep, make sure to use the latest version

When running on linux, ICMP will require special permissions. Run in DEBUG mode for one polling cycle to check. Else, please be more specific as to your rrdtool error

How do i give apache the rights too run this tool too open the socket. I am running CentOS. I can run it from CLI root all day long, and it outputs correctly, all my files are chown apache. In fact i would love it, if someone made a permissions sheet too go with the linux install. I followed the directions of the PDF how to, which was awesome. But i ran into numerous permision problems, with extra templates...

Sorry, it works. The command line was wrong.

Anyone have an answer too my question above?

Ok on the first page of this thread is the template, ss_fping, and ping.php.

On page 3, there are newer? versions of these utilities.

So which one do I use? I ask because on the commandline I get correct ping data, but in the graphs the ping latency is too low. (by about 6 ms)

It's cool to show graphs, but not when they are incorrect.

I'm running version 0.86h on FC4 with php5, rrdtool 1.2 and advanced ping 1.3 template.

abadaba · Post by **abadaba** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 10:29 am

Still no answer on the permissions...I would like too know how too allow this ping script too run...Currently everything is set too run as Apache..Everything runs fine but this script...How would i go about giving the script permisions

tsnww · Post by **tsnww** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 12:46 pm

I think the deal is ping has to be done from root. Run the poller as root and I'll bet you it works... I know that's not ideal but...

abadaba · Post by **abadaba** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 2:15 pm

so chown it root:root? If thats the case, then ive already done that.
