graphs showing up as broken links

[superdust]

Hello.

I`ve just installed cacti on FC5.
Just started adding devices, but graphs are showing up as broken links.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?.

[superdust]

Hmm.
Error message from rdtool:
ERROR: opening '/usr/share/cacti/rra/localhost_mem_buffers_3.rrd': No such file or directory

[gandalf]

Many possible causes:
- wrong permissions, see installation manual
- crontab entry missing or wrong, so poller does not run regularly
- lack of disk storage (unlikely)
- and many more

Thank you for replying.

- wrong permissions
The permissions for the rra and log folder is set to 755, cactiuser is owner.

- crontab entry missing or wrong
*/5 * * * * cactiuser php /usr/share/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

- lack of disk storage
No.

Any tests I can run?

I use FC5 and installed all tools with yum.

Place the full path to php in your cron job.

[superdust]

Thank you rony.

-crontab entry is now
*/5 * * * * cactiuser /usr/bin/php /usr/share/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

Still the same error message from rdtool
ERROR: opening '/usr/share/cacti/rra/localhost_users_6.rrd': No such file or directory

I also tried

-php /usr/share/cacti/poller_reindex_hosts.php -id=All
outputs: "WARNING: Do not interrupt this script. Reindexing can take quite some time" and then drops back to ".[root@localhost cacti]#"

-php /usr/share/cacti/rebuild_poller_cache.php
outputs: "PHP Warning: include_once(./lib/utility.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/cacti/rebuild_poller_cache.php on line 35

[superdust]

No ideas.
I`m sorry, I`m new to this.

[gandalf]

-php /usr/share/cacti/poller.php
outputs: "10/29/2006 11:59:42 AM - SYSTEM STATS: Time:1.0536 Method:cmd.php Processes:1 Threads:N/A Hosts:2 HostsPerProcess:2 DataSources:0 RRDsProcessed:0"

Please change "Settings -> Debug Level" to DEBUG for one run and rerun your statement
Reinhard

[superdust]

-php /usr/share/cacti/poller.php
With Debug level Debug outputs:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# php /usr/share/cacti/poller.php

[gandalf]

Looks weird. Please post a screenshot from the Graph Management list of generated graphs without any filter applied.

Ok, haven`t had time to work on cacti for a while.

I see that in /usr/share/cacti the rra folders are just a shortcut, the actual folder are in /var/lib/cacti/

Could that be a problem?.
Where would I change this path?

Well, I use links as well for my rra directory. rra/ points to /var/lib/cacti/? Files are populated/updated? Does your web server's user has at least read access to the files? See httpd's error_log ...

How about this approach instead:

1) Set logging to DEBUG
2) CD to the Cacti Directory
3) Run the following: "php <path_cacti>/cmd.php"
4) Post output.

Then, once that output is seen, we can talk. Also, look at your Poller Cache and make sure things look correct. With as few hosts as you have, I think it's just a learning exercise.

Thank you for your time.

The poller cache is in the rra directory right?.
That directory is empty.

[TheWitness]

Do the following:

mysql -u root -p cacti
select count(*) from poller_output;

Report back. Your poller is working. This likely is a permissions issue.
