Cron is configured to run too often

[Devroush]

I'm having some serious issues here. Since last night, the poller won't run anymore. It keeps giving this error:
01/03/2008 03:30:02 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] NOTE: Cron is configured to run too often! The Poller Interval is '300' seconds, with a minimum Cron period of '300' seconds, but only -5013141 seconds have passed since the poller last ran.
01/03/2008 03:30:02 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] NOTE: Poller Int: '300', Cron Int: '300', Time Since Last: '-5013141', Max Runtime '298', Poller Runs: '1'

I did some misconfigurations yesterday and on some systems, the date went wrong. I guess this is the reason that the poller can't run anymore. Is there a way to reset the time since last run parameter? I browsed a bit through the source and truncated the table poller_time, but the problem stays.

I think I fixed it by deleting poller_lastrun from the settings table.

I messed up pretty bad I think .
Only the yearly graph is looking good, the others are somehow less precise and the since I got the poller running again, nothing shows at all! I got no errors in the cacti log and also debugging the graphs gives me an OK.
What could be going on here?

This is cacti 087 or 087a?

When I run poller.php manually I see this for all the rrd's:
ERROR: illegal attempt to update using time 1199413197 when last update time is 1204383748 (minimum one second step)

I guess the rrd now contains data from an incorrect time... I searched a bit how to manually edit rrd's but I gave up and just deleted everything. A shame (thread may be closed)

Change line in poller.php to TRUE and run poller manual

Code: Select all

$force = FALSE;

Code: Select all

php /var/www/html/poller.php

Change it back to FALSE

Awesome, this fixed up my issue i had today when my clock on the server when out of whack.
