Server Locking up HARD

[Linuturk]

After doing some further research, it appears that the cacti-cactid package in the Dapper repositories is broken.

here is a summary on this:

I've requested a backport from the Edgy repos, as it is reported as working.

Until that time, I'd like to still work on the error I'm getting, as I don't think it is related to the particular error I'm receiving.

Your cactiuser account does not have access from Localhost. It may be that you have not initialized cacti.conf properly or that you have the OLD_PASSWORD issue, although I don't think that that is it as you would get another message from the console or in the log.

I think you will get there by google'ng it.

ok, I'm not finding cactid.conf in the location it should be in.

/etc/cacti/cactid.conf isn't there, so I created the file.

I need the default contents of the file now. I did some googling, and found this:

DB_Host localhost
DB_Database cacti
DB_User root
DB_Pass
DB_Port 3306

but I wanted to verify with you. Also, I'd imagine there are some instructions in the conf file itself that I don't have.

I saw this page btw, http://cacti.net/cactid_info.php and it doesn't seem to be taking that long per the results I got.

I did get a lot of errors in that polling proccess though.

Code: Select all

ERROR: illegal attempt to update using time 1172852841 when last update time is 1172852841 (minimum one second step)

it seems timeouts are still rolling in as well.

Code: Select all

Timeout: No Response from FAIA-130.FAIA.COM:161.

I don't know if this is helping or not, but I figure it can't hurt.

Ok, so Cactid.conf belongs in /etc not /etc/cacti. That should help. The rest can be minimized by increasing your timeout.

I thought you'd like to know, the server seems to be locking up when it starts using swap space. The drive with my swap file just blew up the other day. Apparently, it was a bad hard drive on the machine instead of a problem with Cacti.

I'll add that one to my list of corner cases. Thanks for the note
