Dear gthe,

great job!

thanks a lot!

Hi there,

I've a cosmetic problem since ages with CAMM.

All snmp traps having severity to Critical are colored in white. Normal SNMP traps are in green, informational are in white, and warning are in orange, so no problem for them.

Critical ones should be in Red.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards.

Well after installing on a fresh Ubuntu machine all seems good except when Ubuntu boots I get this error:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

I have found that if I delete /sbin/syslogtomysql file the error goes away. here is my scrip info. Did the chmod 755 and chown root:root on it but still not happy. Any thoughts?

Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ ! -e /tmp/mysql.pipe ]; then
mkfifo /tmp/mysql.pipe
fi

while [ -e /tmp/mysql.pipe ]
do
mysql -u root --password=mypass cacti < /tmp/mysql.pipe
done

hammer733, check you process startup order. Mysql must be started before syslog/syslog-ng.

gthe,
Thanks for the plugin and for all the help you give.
On the instruction page

Item # 7 says to

shell> chmod 755 /sbin/syslogtomysql
shell> chown root:root /sbin/syslogtomysql

I found that to be a problem with My Ubuntu install. Changed to chmod 777 and all is fine now.

Possibly I should have known that but I am still new at this. Thanks again.

I stopped receiving emails from CAMM for syslog or trap events. I have not changed anything. Emails stopped Wednesday night, now it is Friday morning. I just rebooted the whole server and still no emails from CAMM. Emails from cacti for host up and down still comes through fine, but no CAMM emails.

Any ideas how to fix? I am on version 1.6.6

Have you tried to "force run" of the rule?

All logs now flowing in great. But this is confusing.
When on my Syslogs tab and in my tree on left, if I click on an IP, then the right hand pane will show only messages relative to the IP I clicked on. However, if I am on my SNMP Traps tab and in my tree on left, if I click on an IP, then the right hand pane will not change at all. Is there a way to fix this so it shows only messages relative to the IP??

hello gthe I would like to point camm on my test infrastructure to db in the production infrastructure so I can view on both syslog messages. is it possible?
In my test environment I have cacti db on localhost and in my production environment I have cacti and syslog-ng db on a separate machine.

I found the solution my self. Apparently the PHP scripts to send the emails were timing out while compiling the email body. There were so many errors generated by a server crash that it broke the email functions of CAMM by causing the timeout. I updated the MySQL table to mark them as already processed, and now everything is fine again.

Which version of cacti you are use ?
This bag was fixed already.

Currently -no. Cacti and syslog db must be in one host.
