SmokePing Problems

Post by spencerc »

Hey I am quite new to cacti, but have alot of the graphs I need working however I am having issues with smokeping. For that matter I can not get the advanced ping or the ping to work. It never seems to create a graph. I keep seeing mention of scripts. What are the scripts for, where do i have to put them so cacti can use them.

Any advice on how to get it working would be greatly appreciated

I am using debian Linux 2.4.27-3-386
Cacti 8.6i

I changed the poller so that it is being run by root.

When I look at the graph and turn on the debugger I get the following error
ERROR: invalid rpn expression 'a,g,-,0.2,*'

I am using the cacti_graph_template_smoke_ping_228.xml for a template. I did not see a newer one is this the latest and correct one to use

how do i clear up the error?

Here is the debug

This is a known issue. I thought that a revised template had been released, but I believe you need to edit the CDEF and change the "g" to an "e".

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
