Cactid 0.8.6i Beta2 Available for Test

Post by **TheWitness** » Wed Aug 23, 2006 5:17 am

All,

There have been reports of scripts being unhappy in Cactid Beta 1. So, I am releasing a new beta to have users verify the script behavior. Please post your results.

The installation procedure is simple:

1) take the source provided in the tarball and place it an empty directory.
2) If you are *nix, run dos2unix on all the files. (Yes, I am not running *nix as my primary OS "yet".
3) Run "./configure", "make"
4) Modify the cactid.conf file in the source directory
5) Turn logging to MEDIUM
6) Run "./cactid host_id host_id" to verify script operation for the host in question
7) If all is Ok, run "make install" to move to your production binary directory.

Please post your findings.

Regards,

TheWitness

Did you compile yourself or use the provided binary?

Used the binary you provided.

Upgrade your cygwin to 1.5.21 and the problem will go away. I used WBug today without issues.

That did the trick, works now. Was previously using 1.5.20.

And I was wondering why I have problems ... can you make another version with 1.5.20 cygwin?

Thanks!

I'm getting errors running my script that works in version g

Code: Select all

 09/08/2006 09:09:03 AM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[6] DS[155] SCRIPT: c:\php\php.exe -q C:\Apache2\htdocs\cacti\scripts\php_mssql_dbsizes.php fmint1 fmint1 get logused FMISQL, output: U

When I run it from the command line it works fine.

I'm using cygwin version 1.5.21-2 according to the setup program.

Any ETA for Cactid 0.8.6i release (or beta 3)?

Thanks,

I downloaded the tar.gz containing the source for this new beta.
I don't see the "configure" script, so I can't configure.
Can you please add it?

aclocal
autoheader
automake
autoconf
./configure
make
make install

If using linux, you will have to convert it to the unix format via
dos2unix

You will also need to rename CHANGELOG to ChangeLog

Ah, ok I think I am catching on!

Here is where I am stuck now:
aclocal19
autoheader259
cp CHANGELOG ChangeLog
automake19
autoconf259
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/opt/net-snmp/lib/:/opt/mysql/lib/mysql/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./configure --prefix=/opt/apache/htdocs/cacti --with-mysql=/opt/mysql/ --with-snmp=/opt/net-snmp/
configure: error: cannot run /usr/local/bin/bash config/config.sub

Normally cactid compiles and runs for me nicely simply by doing:
cd /usr/src
fetch http://www.cacti.net/downloads/cactid/c ... .6g.tar.gz
# Unzip
tar xvf cacti-cactid-0.8.6g.tar.gz
# Patch
cd cacti-cactid-0.8.6g
fetch http://www.cacti.net/downloads/cactid/p ... size.patch
patch -p1 -N < mysql_max_packet_size.patch
# Before compiling:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/opt/net-snmp/lib/:/opt/mysql/lib/mysql/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# Cactid configure options:
./configure --prefix=/opt/apache/htdocs/cacti --with-mysql=/opt/mysql/ --with-snmp=/opt/net-snmp/
make
make install

Only this beta is giving me issues getting it to compile.
Cactid 0.8.6g compiles and works great for me.

Any thoughts?

Hi Larry

I'm using SVN revision 3772 on a CentOS 4.4 with Cacti 0.8.6h, and everything is working OK (I'm only using SNMP queries, on HP-UX, Win2k with SNMP Informant and RedHat Linux with Net-SNMP).

Main reason I'm using the beta is because of bug #691 (custom SNMP port).

Have you looked at the new Utilities page in Beta4?
