EDIT: Advanced Ping Template Version 1.3 for Cacti 0.8.6g

[airwalk]

Please select a failing host and verify, that _this_ data sources has the "numbers of times to ping the host" set properly. But first, you may want to "php rebuild_poller_cache.php" to make sure that all is up to date. Afterwards, please check "Utilities -> Poller Cache" and search for your host to verify, that the settings are seen by the poller

Thank you for the tips provided. On some point I failed to trace the problem (there were many other problems) and complete reinstall of cacti was the resolution for that.

Sorry.
I'm new with cacti.
BTW, I successfully installed this advanced ping script and template.
In fact if I run ss_fping.php from command line... that is, from script_server.php I can get some results but.... I also get the php headers:

Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.8

min:0.2200 avg:0.2467 max:0.3500 dev:0.0468 loss:0.0000

By this, the script/template is not polling anything: the graphic is blank.

My logs (in debug mode) are reporting:

[gandalf]

The first one is easy: type "php -q" to suppress headers.
The script server should do so as default. Please read http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=7738 for more help

[gandalf]

If the ping target is not reachable, the script only spits out a loss value of 100. This will cause rrdtool update errors. To omit those, please consider using the following patch to ss_fping.php

        if ($failed_results == $ping_sweeps) {
-               return "loss:100.00";
+               return "min:U avg:U max:U dev:U loss:100.00";
        }else{
                $loss = ($failed_results/$ping_sweeps) * 100;
                $avg = $total_time/($ping_sweeps-$failed_results);

I've only added some U outputs.

[case_h99]

The script server should do so as default.

well, in my case it seems not doing that....
the logs says that:
WARNING: Result from SERVER not valid. Partial Result: Content-type: text/h

... I have php-4.3.8 and cacti-0.8.6i

[gandalf]

So did you try the link I advertised? Please post the results of those tests

Yes I already try, as root.

Code: Select all

#php /var/www/cacti/script_server.php 
PHP Script Server has Started - Parent is cmd

Here I put /var/www/cacti/scripts/ss_fping.php ss_fping 192.168.1.1 20 ICMP

Then I get:

Thanks.

You should run it as cactiuser, the user who runs the poller from cron. Then you'll see, that ICMP ping requires root or setuid root

Reinhard

The problem is the http header printed by php, not the icmp or udp method... btw running it as cactiuser give me headers.

[case_h99]

Sorry, I renew the question:
where is the problem if in cacti logs I can find these lines?

I have 0.8.6i installed on debian. Everything works but when I added the cacti_graph_template_ping_advanced_ping_v1_3.xml from the begining of this post I can not get it to graph and I get this error.

RRDTool Says:

ERROR: invalid rpn expression in: d,0,GT,d,2,GT,UNKN,INF,IF,UNKN,IF


Thank you
