No CPU graphs after new install.

[amccool]

debian unstable
cacti 0.8.6c-6

I get values from my win2k3 server cpus via the procedure outlined above.

but no files are created (or updated)

ERROR: opening '/usr/share/cacti/site/rra/mail1_cpu_473.rrd': No such file or directory

[TheWitness]

Are the data sources listed in the poller cache?

That was a dumb question. Please run 1 time from the command line "php poller.php" while in DEBUG mode and post both your STDOUT and the CactiLog.

I cant find a single reference to the wanted server in any of the output of poller.php

In reviewing my data sources (in Debug). I grabbed the debug and tried executing it

ERROR: Duplicate DS name: cpu

[TheWitness]

You have a damaged data template. Please edit the CPU data template in question, take a screen print and post it to the web site as a jpg file.

[amccool]

my data template [Host MIB - CPU Utilization] had a total of four(4) CPU Data Source Items.

I have completely removed cacti and started a new installation (new database + all files)

[amccool]

everything is looking good now........I wish I knew how the template was modifed

Thanks for all the help.

ehhh,

What does your debug output look like for that particular script? If different than "U", then I would suspect either a corrupt template or a damaged RRD file.

TheWitness

How do I see the debug output of this script?
I've run the poller in debug mode and posted the log to this thread.
And the problem is that the rrd files for CPU usage is'nt created.

sorry spunc, amccool hijacked your thread and I didn't notice. It's usually a blur to me these things. I need to download firefox (since WindowsXP Sp2 wont allow me to open attachements on PHPbb anymore). Give me a few.

Spunc,

You have a duplicate DS issue. Goto your Data Template for the CPU graph and delete the second CPU DS from it and you will be back in business.

Oh, please backup your database first...
