cacti is not graphing

Post by drogatoo »

hy

i'm using cacti 0.8.6.j with all the patches applied for this version, on a gentoo system with php 5.1.6 and rrdtool 1.2.15

the problem i'm having is that sometimes some graphs do not update like shown in the pictures attached.
i have 65 hosts with 1656 data sources

in the cacti log it shows:
03/30/2007 06:30:40 PM - SYSTEM STATS: Time:37.8111 Method:cmd.php Processes:1 Threads:N/A Hosts:65 HostsPerProcess:65 DataSources:2500 RRDsProcessed:1567
03/30/2007 06:35:06 PM - PHPSVR: Poller[0] Maximum runtime of 292 seconds exceeded for the Script Server. Exiting.

the problem is the same with almost all the hosts that are using this data query (snmp get mounted partition)

But i'm also having problems with other graphs that have some breaks in them.Is it because of the number of the data sources being processed?

i' ve followed the link that you've said
when i run

php -q cmd.php <id> <id>

with the id of the host and the data source for which the graph doesn't work it does not show any error and in the graph it creates one line (as you can se in the picture attached) for the period of time that it run the command.
what is strange in my opinion is that the other graps for which the same querry, data source and graph didn't work also , are working and they create a line for the exact period of time.It's like when i'm runing the script for one host and one data source in fact i'm running it for all and all works well, but when the script gets run by the crontab it doesn't work

I'm also having breaks in other graphs with other graph templates at random for a small period of time too

All this is not new to me. But what is more interesting, is to see the errors when running from crontab with poller verbosity set to DEBUG

Hi, i have been seeing this problem also.

It works just fine if i run it from the command line but not from cron.

It also only seems to be new graphs, there is no problem with perms on the files that i can see.

Please follow the instructions given in this thread. Your current info is too weak to give us an idea of the exact cause of your problem. And it would be better to open an new thread unless it is exact the same issue (with disk usage template)

OK, thanks for the tip.I've replaced the template that was not working with the one in the link that you've gave me.
But as i have said i have problems with other template. One of them is ApacheStats0.6 from here http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t ... c&start=30
I ran the script manually and it works but it does not create graphs.But the template does not work for the new graphs that i create.For the older ones it does
I forgot to mention that i have upgraded a month ago from 0.8.6i to 0.8.6j
