Advanced Ping Template for Cacti 0.8.6f

[boots]

I've replaced ss_fping as advised by TheWitness.

This has made some progress where I can see results in the script server through the command line and also through the log, however this isnt updating the graph with any data.

Any suggestions?

Make sure you have applied the patches: www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/0.8.6f/pre-patched

I have:

1) Replaced the files at http://www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/ ... e-patched/ in the corresponding locations in my installation

2) Followed the instructions at http://www.cacti.net/download_patches.php to install the latest patches

3) Did the following as root:

Code: Select all

[root@host tmp]# cd /var/www/html/cacti
[root@host cacti]# 
#  php /var/www/html/cacti/script_server.php
PHP Script Server has Started - Parent is cmd
/var/www/html/cacti/scripts/ss_fping.php ss_fping www.google.com 10

<b>Fatal error</b>:  Call to undefined function:  socket_set_block() in <b>/var/www/html/cacti/lib/ping.php</b> on line <b>99</b><br>

I'm running 0.8.6f, and even though php is old (4.2.1), it's compiled with sockets enabled.

rpingar mentioned setting the datasource manually; I don't think this is the case with me. rrdfetch shows that the rrd file isn't even getting updated properly, so even if it was connected manually, it wouldn't matter:

Code: Select all

[root@host rra]# rrdtool fetch host2_dev_234.rrd AVERAGE | tail

Any thoughts?

socket_set_block() is supported in PHP 4.2++ sorry. PHP 4.3.11 is quite stable. However, I would suggest 4.4 but only after Cacti 0.8.6g is released.

Hmm, it isn't working here.

Cacti f under Windows2000 SP4 with the latest Cacti patches from http://www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/ ... re-patched, php 4.4, the manuell test is working fine.

Code: Select all

C:\Apache2\htdocs\cacti>php c:\apache2\htdocs\cacti\script_server.php
PHP Script Server has Started - Parent is cmd
c:\apache2\htdocs\cacti\scripts\ss_fping.php ss_fping www.google.de 20

quit
PHP Script Server Shutdown request received, exiting
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.0

But if the poller starts the script there is allways a "U" as output:

Code: Select all

09/05/2005 11:25:48 AM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[15] DS[110] SERVER: C:\Apache2\htdocs\cacti/scripts/ss_fping.php ss_fping www.google.de 20, output: U  
09/05/2005 11:25:48 AM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[15] DS[110] WARNING: Result from SERVER not valid. Partial Result: ...  

The Debug isn't enough information, is there a debug version of ss_fping.php available?

[Mekonikum]

HeHe, I got it, it's working now.

I renamed C:\Apache2 to C:\apache2 and replaced all other big letter in the path settings to small ones, and now it's working.

after installing patches, template,... and creating one graph i get in graph management with debug on.

RRDTool Says:

ERROR: RPN final stack size != 1

any suggestions?

I have been running into an issue where the zoomed view of an Advanced Ping v1.2 graph do not render, however when you visit the "regular" graph page (the page with 4 views), it renders without issue. I have several graphs rendered with the same templates, and it only affects some of them.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Advanced Ping v1.2 shows 100% packet loss, SmokepingLike works normal. Testing Advanced Ping v1.2 thru script server - script pings normal, but thru poller 100% loss.

[gandalf]

TheWitness,
just installed your advanced ping V1.2 under cacti 0.8.6g (no patches ). But according to the debug log, its not working properly.

Code: Select all

I modified the input parm to run under cactiuser, so I put "20 TCP 80" to run against TCP port 80. As output shows, script server returns the results (its the local machine). But cactid only returns "min" values. Have I missed something?
Here's my config:

Does anyone have any ideas?

I was able to isolate this to an issue with rrdtool commands that exceeded the Windows 2000 maximum command length (2048 chars, XP = 8192 chars). Under these circumstances the poller would collect the data correctly, but the complicated rrdtool command to generate the graph would return a "line too long" error message, subsequently failing silently.

As a side note, when commands were near the 2048 character limit, it was sometimes possible to generate the "regular" (day/week/month/year) graphs, but not a zoom graph. This is because the extra commands to generate the zoomed view were causing the length to overflow.

As a long term fix, 2k/XP users should be warned when the command lines are too long. To work around this issue, move your "rra" folder closer to the root of the file system and/or rename your ping rra files to shorter names, as the full path to these items is repeated a large number of times in the rrdtool command, causing the length to grow rapidly.

That's a vaccum cleaning job. I will rewrite the template. I have to to make the contributer who originally wrote it happy.
