Cacti with graphs not continuous ...

[mnilsson@udcom.net]

Hi

All my graphs, have values but the graphs shows correct value but sometimes 0 that is true since cisco reports 0 some times but still i like the graph to make an average.

Than i am monitoring an antenna and the value is never at 0 but the graph every now and than reports 0 even if that value never occurs ...


what am i doing wrong here ???

the cacti log ...

Hi


I do not know about your page but it get a lot of popup windows and get to a page that have nothing to do with caci documentation ...

maybe you gave me wrong link ...

Matthias

[rony]

Link fixed, type in URL sent you to domain squatter.

[gandalf]

Oh, oh, my. Suppose I should stop working after 10 hours or so.
So I got tired of posting always the same links and made up 2 sticky entries. Still waiting for the link on the main cacti site

the user is cacti for

command crontab -e

*/5 * * * * cacti /usr/bin/php /var/www/cacti/poller.php >/var/local/log/poller.log 2>&1
*/5 * * * * cacti echo "i am trying here again every 5 minutes cacti"

What is wrong here ????

[mnilsson@udcom.net]

Hi


in whar crontab do i suppose to put the crontab string ???i loggin as root and crontab -e to add that string in that crontab ...

the file cacti do not respond in any way as mentioned in the document about Nan ...

maybe this is to basics but i have my doubts about where to put that comand to run every 5 minutes ...


like to put it in root and modify the crontab file to do this and well i will see if it works because now with this change i get no graphs at all ...


bad example will go back to the old crontab that worked before ..

Hi

i have crontab polling every 5 minutes but the mesage i get is that the directory for adding the file poller.log does not exists but it does ...

now i have 3 users on that computer and i have enterned as user and did an SU and added this string for cacti with the following command crontab -e.

There the string is and i remved the cacti file under /etc/cdron.d/ directory so i guess there will not be various users doing the same thing or ????


I am awaitng for answer and i like ot to be easy since i am new to cacti and crontab ...

Matthias

[gandalf]

Well, of course you should change this to your log directory for cacti. E.g. choose the same directory the file cacti.log resides in

Hi

Now i get no poller by crontab and still it complains that the directory or file exists, i made it and set the properties according to the cacti log file ...


now i am moving no where ...

[mnilsson@udcom.net]

the string in /etc/cron.d/cacti is the following
*/5 * * * * php /var/www/cacti/poller.php >/var/www/cacti/log/poller.php 2>&1

nothing else if i add cacti before php that i gett error output ...


what is wrong ...

should i have this string in root crontab or as my user name ...

[gandalf]

Please provide "/full/path/to/php" instead of php. Will update my HowTo
