Cacti SQL RRDTOOL update breaks graphs.

Post by keysorsoze »

Hello, I have solved all my graphing issues and migrated to 0.8.6j however I would like to upgrade rrdtools to an rpm instead of a custom compiled version. I have installed the 1.2.18 rpm but when I change the path to RRTOOL in the cacti interface my graphs all turn to X's. But when I switch back to 1.2.13 everything returns. Can someone give me a clue on why the graphs are showing under the new RRDTOOL?

Current Version (Custom Compiled)

RRDtool 1.2.13 Copyright 1997-2006 by Tobias Oetiker <tobi@oetiker.ch>
Compiled Jun 15 2006 10:59:31

New Version ( Installed via RPM) breaks graphs when switched to.

RRDtool 1.2.18 Copyright 1997-2007 by Tobias Oetiker <tobi@oetiker.ch>
Compiled Jan 26 2007 12:50:23

My guess is that when you run rrdtool with your rpm version that it can not find a shared library or two. I have found 1.2.15 and 1.2.19 to be pretty stable. Actually, 1.2.15 worked for a long time and 1.2.18 was buggy. I am now on 1.2.23 for performance reasons.

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?

Thanks for the suggestions however, new I installed the same tool on a test lab machine and all new graphs display fine its just the old graphs we try to import don't appear. I'll look into the library solution though.
