ERROR: unknown option '--slope-mode'

[MrKeith]

Hi. I'm using RRDTool 1.2.15 and my setting in Cacti for RRDTool Utility Version is set to 1.2.x. Graphs aren't getting generated.

RRDTool Command:

/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.15/bin/rrdtool graph - \
--imgformat=PNG \
--start=-86400 \
--end=-300 \
--title="Central Library - CPU Usage" \
--rigid \
--base=1000 \
--height=120 \
--width=500 \
--alt-autoscale-max \
--lower-limit=0 \
--vertical-label="percent" \
--slope-mode \
DEF:a="/usr/local/groundwork/apache2/htdocs/cacti/rra/central_library_5min_cpu_52.rrd":5min_cpu:AVERAGE \
AREA:a#FF0000:"CPU Usage" \
GPRINTLAST:"Current\:%8.0lf" \
GPRINTAVERAGE:"Average\:%8.0lf" \
GPRINTMAX:"Maximum\:%8.0lf"


RRDTool Says:

ERROR: unknown option '--slope-mode'


If I change my setting to 1.0.x I do get graphs but why isn't it working like it's supposed to? I was running RRDTool 1.2.12 before this and getting the same error which prompted the upgrade to 1.2.15.

Thanks for any help.

If I run that command from a terminal window it seems to work as I get a large dump of binary data to the screen.

Double check the path of the rrdtool executable in the Cacti settings.

[MrKeith]

It's correct. Copy and paste from the settings window to a terminal:

Using the mysql client run the following query and post the results:

Code: Select all

select value from settings where name = 'path_rrdtool';

[MrKeith]

That looks good too.

Code: Select all

mysql> select value from settings where name = 'path_rrdtool';
+---------------------------------------+
| value                                 |

Web server running in a chroot?

[MrKeith]

Sorry, you lost me on that one.

apache error log is full of these. when i paste the command into a terminal session i get the error too.

I am using rrdtool-1.2.15.
I've done the rrdtool query, results below.

Any ideas ? is it just the version of rrdtool ?
