Confirm that your rrdtool version and the version you have selected in the cacti settings are the same.

Oh I see only 1.0.x and 1.2.x.

No 1.1.x which is too bad since I have a huge number of depends for 1.1.x.

Such as OSSIM from ossim.net . Which is the best SIM(security information manager) I have ever seen.

Is there a way to force cacti to use 1.1.x? or do I need to get rid of cacti?
EDIT: Or possibly a parallel install of RRDTool 1.2.11?

Funny, I don't remember 1.1 ever being a stable release.

Anyways, we don't support it

Thanks for the response. I was considering a parallel install of rrdtool 1.2.11 but I guess I should wait to try cacti when ossim supports a higher version of rrdtool. Accurate risk assessment is more important to me than statistics anyway. :wink: I will make sure the devs at ossim know to use a different rrdtool for their next release.
Keep up the good work guys ....looks sharp!

You should have no issue running paralell versions of RRDtool. Just place the binaries in separate directories, you will have to chisel a little bit though. You can't just blindly install RPM's.

Then, push your supplier of the other product to "get with it". RRDtool 1.2.12 should have all the features of 1.1.x (never released), but the syntax may have changed slightly.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

I will try the parallel install but from a compiled version. I just didn't want to break anything.

I didn't blindly install rpm's... ossim requires rrdtools 1.1.x(from their repository)....and I am pretty sure they are unaware it is unstable because some do have problems with the graphing. So it is good to know 1.1.x is unstable...I'm sure they would appreciate not spending time with graphing problems support. I could be wrong maybe they do already know.

So thanks really.

EDIT: Worked like a charm! Thanks. After compiling I put it in a different directory. Then changed cacti-settings in db to point to it.
