DNS Server Response Time: Script & Templates

[nuzzy]

UPDATE: I changed my settings to "-i 15 -d 5" and it seems to have fixed my problem

Hi, I'm attempting to implement this script, and I think I've almost got it, but I'm getting the following error in my poller-error.log:

Code: Select all

/home/cactiuser/dnsResponseTimeLoop.pl: Not enough arguments.

Usage:
            dnsResponseTime.pl -h host -s server -r -v -i interval -d delay -t timeout]

            ./dnsResponseTime.pl -h www.icrc.org  -s 129.132.98.12  -v  -r  -t 5  -i 300
        
            host:           host to be resolved
            server:         DNS servers to ask
            recursive:      recursive query (default 0 iterative , e.g. all or nothing)
            verbose:        debug output
            interval:       time interval during which to query repeatedly (default 60)
            delay:          delay between quweries in seconds (default 0s)
            timeout:        timeout in seconds (default 10s)

The cacti.log shows that the command line being executed is:

Code: Select all

perl /home/cactiuser/dnsResponseTimeLoop.pl -s my.dns.server -h www.google.com -t 9 -i 300 -r -d 10

If I copy and paste that to my command line, it seems to work fine. Can anyone help?

I have a strange behaviour of the template with graphics. In some point in time I get negative DNS Response time. Is there any way to fix it ?

Fixed graph here. Try it

This last template works for me, with the exception of the -i flag. If I put in anything <= 60 for -i, then I get a few 'Use of uninitialized value in addition' messages. I simply changed it to -i 120 and I'm getting graphs. With the original xml template, the command seemed to run but no graphs were created.

Hi All,

I have a cacti 0.8.8b installation and This template is giving me a hard time to start graphing. If I add a device with a different template it graphs normally.. The strange thing is that the realtime plugin shows data and graphs normally with this template.

What can be the problem ? The Graph is not even being generated..

Apart from this what permissions should scripts have ?
