RELEASED: < 1 Minute to 5 Minute Polling Interval Patch

Post by **TheWitness** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 5:46 pm

All,

I held off for quite a while and finally decided, with the approval of the broader Cacti Group, to release this patch. I hope you all enjoy it.

I will also be releasing some additional interesting patches in the months to come. Again, enjoy.

Regards,

TheWitness

This is what I came up with to poll every 30 seconds

Code: Select all

*/1 * * * * cactiuser /usr/bin/php /www/cacti.mahuani.net/htdocs/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1
*/1 * * * * cactiuser /bin/sleep 30; /usr/bin/php /www/cacti.mahuani.net/htdocs/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

It's not pretty, but it seems to work

Lol, that does work... Not a bad idea...

You could also just call a script that does the same..

I remember JP talking about this at Linuxworld. He indicated, with the "new" cron syntax, that you could poll every second. However, I have not been able to find that syntax.

You need to use mcron instead of vixie-cron: http://www.gnu.org/software/mcron/

I will release sometime before next Monday

You promise? I'm in process of re-installing my cacti server. Should I wait for 0.8.6i with the patch or not?

Ian should have it out by tomorrow night. After that, I will be releasing. Probably on Sunday.

Problem,

the first Graph i see in my Graph Tree is not the 1 Minute Average Graph. It is always the 5 Minute.
If if go in Zoom all 5 Graphs are build.

How could I change this?

Thanks

Hi

have you tried to change in your settings (the tab on the right) the default RRA ?

romput · Post by **romput** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 3:18 am

So,

i found the option and change it to 1 Minute Graph. But it doesn't solve the problem. Should i delete and recreate the graph?

The topic spoke of a "patch" but all I could find were already patched files. So I have went ahead and created the patch in case anyone else wants it too.

It should apply clean against stock Cacti v0.8.6i. Interesting thing to note is that poller.php (not the lib one) is included in the above file, but the only modification was to strip the newline at the end of the file.

It be interesting to see how some of the plugins actually handle working with this... A few will out right break with a faster poller, but the others might do fine.
