[SOLVED] Perl Scripts Issue

terziyski · Post by **terziyski** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 5:28 am

Hi,

I thoght I had a little problem with a perl script, but it appears that I have a general problem with any kind of perl scripts.
When I write a perl script and add it to Data Input Methods with apropriate data and graph templates I receive in Catati Log file for data source:

CACTID: Poller[0] Host[429] ERROR: Empty result [XXX]: 'perl C:/Inetpub/Wwwroot/cacti/scripts/myscript.pl YYY'

The scripts are working perfectly under command prompt console, but in Cacti they are not sending any data.
I am using Cacti 0.8.6j version under Windows 2003 Server.
Does anyone can suggest something to resolve this issue ?
Sorry about the duplicated post.

What happens if you specify the FULL path to the PERL executable, for example

'c:\perl\bin\perl.exe C:/Inetpub/Wwwroot/cacti/scripts/myscript.pl

It is still Empty result no matter wich I use :

'c:/perl/bin/perl.exe ...'
or
'c:\perl\bin\perl.exe ...'

Did you clear the poller cache before the next run ?

No I did not. Now I am doing it.
Should I use format 'c:/perl/bin/perl.exe ...' or 'c:\perl\bin\perl.exe ...' ?

Doesn't really matter, but I tend to prefer c:\perl\bin\perl.exe c:/<path to cacti>/scripts etc...

What poller are you using ? CACTID or cmd.php ?

Nope , the result is still 'Empty..'
I have cleared poller cache before adding the data sources again.
I am using CACTID.

I had this self-same issue. What happens if you move your CACTID binary (and the conf file) to the C:\Cygwin\Bin directory ?

Should I copy these files or move them ?

Copy them to start, and change the location to the binary in CACTI (not during a poller run)

I have done that but the result is still 'Empty...'

If you are pulling data from WMI for example, does your poller account have access to this ?

I am pulling data from Internet and from DNS servers, but I am not using WMI.
In command prompt the scripts are working perfectly...
I gave the script files appropriate permissions (IUSR_XXXX,IIS_WPG). I gave to perl folder same permissions too.

Could you post screenshots of your data sources etc ?
