I am trying to get this working against a Cisco Router but am not have much luck. I have run an snmpwalk on the OID's in the php script against this device and they do return values. When I run the graph I get no values?

I am running Cacti-0.8.6h with the cmd.php on RH9. This is the output from the debug on the datasource for the MIB - Combined protocol traffic.

Post an snmpwalk of the OID in the script and of the cacti log in debugging mode (for that portion where its polling your device with the script).

All the data is comming back correctly but the graphs are all empty. Below is the extract from the cacti.log for this graph.

This is the output from the graph in debug mode.


RRDTool Command:

/usr/bin/rrdtool graph - \

--title=" - Combined Protocol traffic" \
--base=1000 \
--height=120 \
--width=500 \
--alt-autoscale \
--vertical-label="" \
--slope-mode \


OK


Thanks

1) Are other graphs working properly?
2) You might have a permission problem because cacti appears to be attempting to create the rrd files over and over again.
3) Have you waited for at least 2 polling cycles for graphs to show?
4) Post a pic of the broken graph

Thanks for getting back to me.

I have tried to change the permissions on that php file but it has still not had any effect. I am also having the same issue on al these graphs although they are replying to snmpwalk requests.

I have left the script to run via the poller for about an hour as you can see from below but I continue to experience the same issue.

You have other permission problems with your linux install. I suggest you post in the linux forum where the experts can help you -- I'm not a linux person. Once you have your cacti working, then come back to getting this template working.

OK thanks for that, I have now sorted the permissions issue in the crontab and throughout the directory infrastructure. I have also now got an out put from the rrdtool in the logs which are as below. I have also left it to run for a few cycles but still have not had anything in the graph.

We're not interested in the rrdtool graph commands. We're interested in when cacti polls your router using the MIB script and returns data. Also when rrdtool attempts to update the rrd files with this data.

Do other graphs in your cacti installation work yet? If not, then this script won't either.

My apologies I am still fairly new to cacti. I have found this when the poller runs.

Basically all the MIB Protocol graphs are reporting this error. I am not using SNMP v3 therefore the username and password fields are blank.

I ran the scripts manually via the php script server and this is what returned.

PHP Script Server has Started

/var/www/html/cacti/scripts/ss_protocol_tcp.php ss_protocol_tcp x.x.x.x testing version 1 161 500
tcpActiveOpens:NaN tcpPassiveOpens:NaN tcpAttemptFails:NaN tcpEstabResets:NaN tcpCurrEstab:NaN tcpRetransSegs:NaN tcpInErrs:NaN tcpOutRsts:NaN

/var/www/html/cacti/scripts/ss_protocol_traffic.php ss_protocol_traffic x.x.x.x testing version 1 161 500
ipInReceives:NaN ipOutRequests:NaN tcpInSegs:NaN tcpOutSegs:NaN udpInDatagrams:NaN udpOutDatagrams:NaN snmpInPkts:NaN snmpOutPkts:NaN icmpInMsgs:NaN icmpOutMsgs:NaN

This does not make alot of sense to me because when I run an snmpwalk on the OID's in the script they return with values as shown in my earlier message.

1) Do your other graphs work fine?

2) It doesn't appear you're properly feeding the script the correct variables. You first need to start the script server. Then run something like: /var/www/html/cacti/scripts/ss_protocol_traffic.php ss_protocol_traffic 192.168.0.1 public 3 161 500 snmp3_username snmpv3_password.

Look in the php file for exactly what variables it needs passed in.

I did this as above but without the snmpv3 information do I have to use snmpv3?
