[Mdtdiop]

Hi All,

I've the same problem.
I've got cacti-0.8.7.g.
see below cli command and the result

root@ma-desktop:/usr/share/cacti/scripts# php /usr/share/cacti/scripts/ss_fping.php 10.2.2.25 ICMP
loss:100.00

do the following:

Code: Select all

ping -c 5 <some_host>

Post the results. Also, let me know the OS Name and version, plus the kernel level.

Good point, you have to specify the number of ping packets to pass..

Did u know why i've nothing on my advanced ping graphs?
My poller is running by root.

I have not used the advanced ping in so long, I'm not 100% sure. Let me take a look...

You are calling it wrong. If from the script server, you should see the following in the poller cache

Code: Select all

<path_cacti>/scripts/ss_fping.php ss_fping <hostname> <ping_count> <ping_proto> {<port>}

If calling as a script:

Code: Select all

<path_php_binary> -q <path_cacti>/scripts/ss_fping.php <hostname> <ping_count> <ping_proto> {<port>}

You are not calling it correctly. Which means your template is hosed. In addition, the template is so old, you have to change the reference to "config.php" to "global.php".

i 've this in my poller cache : <Hostname>- Advanced Ping Script: php -q /usr/share/cacti/scripts/ss_fping.php 10.230.12.1 20 ICMP
RRD: /var/lib/cacti/rra/108/339.rrd

And see atach my ss_fping.php file.

I think it's general for all my new created graphs.
I upgrade from 0.8.7e to 0.8.7.g.
Exixting graphs work fine.

Sounds like a permissions problem and has nothing to do with Cacti unless your poller is overrunning. You present your cacti log, validate permissions, and run your poller from the command line to validate. Make sure you use the force option.

I don't understand. All files in rra directory are the same rights and are updated every five minutes but all the graphs i've been created after update my cacti version are blank (no data on graph)..

[TheWitness]

Please follow through on 'all' instructions. Otherwise, this thread is dead.

[Mdtdiop]

my cacti log is empty.
What u mean on validate permissions?
I have executed the poller in command line and no change.

[TheWitness]

If your cacti log is empty, that's your first 'permission' problem.
