Error message in CACTI log

Post by mcutting »

Every time I create a graph with this template, I get the following error in the log:

01/21/2008 09:41:38 AM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] ERROR: A DB Exec Failed!, Error:'1054', SQL:"update graph_templates_graph set name='|host_description| - Process - |query_hrSWRunName|' where local_graph_id=1978'

The graph seems to create and is updated - just wondered what this was ?

Thanks

Error:'1054' = Unknown column error. It would seem that query is just incorrect, as there probably isn't a column named:

|host_description| - Process - |query_hrSWRunName|

That would be my guess.

First off, great script!!

Have only two issues;

1) The memory usage value displayed for each process is in megabytes, however the unit used is in kilobytes. Is there anything I can do about this?

2) I suspect this is because of very low CPU usage, but I have a problem where the usage of a particular process is not displayed as a percentage and the value displayed is wildly incorrect. Any ideas why, and if it is possible to fix?

1) hrSWRunPerfMem unit is defined to be "KBytes". rrdtool is simply reporting what it's getting from the host. If you want, you could create a CDEF to change from kb to mb (multiply by 1024.

2) the value have m or u in it? read http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=8168

Ok, not worth it at this stage I think. Memory usage is reported correctly, just using the wrong units. As for second issue I don't think this can be corrected in Cacti unless there is a way to disable the autoscale on RRDTool.

I have the same "issue" although I would call it a non-issue. It is being reported correctly. In my case my store.exe is taking up ~600mb, cacti is reporting 590.61 k, which is 604784.64 kb.

Spot on.

Ahh, I think I know whats going on. Edit the graph template for this script and change the Base Value to 1024.

Is there a way I can graph the total processes? Together with threshold it might help be solve an issue I'm currently having where a process is failing and creating another one every 30 minutes, so after a couple of days I have an extra 80 processes each taking up way too many resources...

.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.6.0 is the current number of processes. Use the generic snmp templates

Win, cheers. Should have tried a Google, didn't realise there would just be a standard OID.

Hello,

I am getting this error when I try to add the graph:

Notice: Undefined index: sgg_12 in /usr/share/cacti/site/graphs_new.php on line 71

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/share/cacti/site/graphs_new.php:71) in /usr/share/cacti/site/graphs_new.php on line 323

Everything else seems to work fine.

b3nw: Start a new post in the linux forum. Your issue does not lay with this template. Document your cacti, mysql, php, apache, etc versions. Also read http://docs.cacti.net/manual:087:4_help.2_debugging

What other graphs have you created and work?

What are your cacti, mysql, php, apache, etc versions? The cacti technical support page show any errors?
