Problem with demo in tutorial docs.cacti.net... got crazy

[godot]

Hello all, I am trying to do script data queries and I got crazy !
I have tried the example given http://docs.cacti.net/node/284

The idea is to do interface statistiques (ifInOctets) but using a script query.

My script gives correct result (see output).
I have followed all the procedure... and at the end ... when I try to create a graph, it does not solve anything and I got "test_device - TEST - |query_ifIndex| " as creatd graph and nothing happend !

Please, can someone help me

Please check, if php-snmp is installed. To do so, select the cactus on the main panel at the lower left side. It shows the info at the bottom of the next panel

PHP-SNMP is now activated.

Is is strange: I log the call to my script .pl.

It is executed when I lauch the query and discovers the interfaces.

Cacti accept to poll my selected interfaces (create graph for this device)...

But then, the script is never called anymore... and the device is NOT disabled and monitored (checkbox in the device tab)

Why ?? I do not understand.

Your XML is broken.
Please remove the line

<arg_num_indexes/>

.
And remove

<index_order>bgpPeerRemoteAs</index_order>

as it refers to a field that is not (yet) defined. Remove the other lines

<index_order_type>alphabetic</index_order_type>
<index_title_format>|chosen_order_field|</index_title_format>

as well, as they are not needed. You may add them later on again, when your XML is working again.
I'm not sure if this fixes the problem. But it will surely help

yes, there were errors, but this change nothing... cacti does not launch the script, never... even with a minimalistic XML

<interface>
<name>interface proxied</name>
<description>interface proxied</description>
<script_path>perl /PRD/SYDN/CACTI/scripts/interface.pl</script_path>
<arg_prepend> |host_hostname| |host_snmp_community| </arg_prepend>
<arg_index>index</arg_index>
<arg_query>query</arg_query>
<arg_get>get</arg_get>
<output_delimeter>$</output_delimeter>
<fields>
<ifIndex>
<name>ifIndex</name>

Please try to find it in "Utilities -> Poller cache" when filtering for that host. Post those lines, please
