graphics for another linux Machines

[seemantech]

I don't speak english very well but I'll try to expose my problem.

Hello! I had instaled cacti 0.8.6 on my Debian Linux. It seems OK it graphes four cisco routers with satisfaction(very good). So I'd added another fifteen gateways linux(Debian too) on cacti. but it don't graph it right. all machines are being graphed local server macine.

All the graphics for the linux machines are equals to local linux server. I am using the host template "Local Linux Machine" for all linux devices.

Could i use another template?? Where is my mistake, and how to correct it?

You shouldn't use the Local Linux Machine Template. Please switch to sth like ucd/net SNMP Host. This is a good start for linux boxes. Pay attention to not get the SNMP error for those devices. You'll get this error if the target's snmpd isn't set up correctly

Thanks it realy function...

Now it is ok.

Have you ever configured cacti to work with a Tsunami Wireless Router?

[gandalf]

No, but as long as this device is SNMP capable, I see no problems. If you have the OIDs, I have the walkthrough ...

Ok! the cacti is very good.
I did not tried to do graphics for the Tsunamis I will do it later....
But a linux machine is giving "SNMP error" to me. I have tried to uninstall and to reinstall the snmp package and to import the config files from another linux machine(that are being graphed sucessfuly) but I always have had this message.

there are a cookbook for this problem??

I am using Debian 3.1 linux 2.6.8

Did you reinstall on the target machine?
A cookbaook may be found at net-snmp.org. And try the manpages of snmpd, snmpd.conf. Your implementation may bring a per script snmpconf for building a valid snmpd configuration file

I discovered the trouble!

I used iptraf to see the trafic snmp. So I saw some errors like "port unreachable".

Then I used "netstat -a" in the target machne

Code: Select all

root@alanis # netstat -a | grep snmp
udp        0      0 localhost.localdomain:snmp                  *:*

Then I have edited the script /etc/init.d/snmpd and modified the parameters to start snmpd process.

Now is Ok

Code: Select all

root@alanis # netstat -a | grep snmp
udp        0      0 alanis.mydomain.com.br:snmp                  *:*

Well, Now is done. I will try another devices snmp capable(Tsunami and Terabean wireless routers). I will need some help.

[gandalf]

To check a new target, perform

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -c <community> -v 1 <target> system

where <community> represents the community string of the target (often defaults to the string "public"). If this returns results, you're on the right way.
At least for Tsunami's there are some Template to be found at Scripts and Templates, AFAIK
