[SOLVED] device problem

pyth · Post by **pyth** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 9:16 am

hi all,

In the first time : sorry for my english, i am french i have just school knowledge.

i have installed cacti on a ubuntu server (6.06), and when i want add a device, its ok!

but on device page, status = "unknown"
the computer that i want monitoring works on Windows 2000 (its just for test and learn how to configure cacti, for after setup on real network).

thanks for your help.

how are you monitoring the device that you added? via PING or SNMP? (its on the settings when you first add the device)

First thing would be to check that you have network connectivity to the device.

On the device you're monitoring, check the SNMP settings and make sure that the version and community string you entered in cacti is the same as what's configured on your device.

Can you check that the poller is running ?

via SNMP,

in the localhost no problem i can look and edit graph,

how check if the poller is running ?

i dont think its a problem with SNMP, because when i add a device, i don't have a msg : "SNMP error"

Did you add a crontab entry to run the poller every 5 minutes ?

If not, can you run it by hand :

Code: Select all

$ php /path/to/cacti/poller.php

i am not shur, i have added this line in /etc/crontab :

*/5 * * * * cactiuser php5 /var/www/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

but this command : php /path/to/cacti/poller.php does not work,

for the install i have follow http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/cacti.

Add the full path to php (eg. /bin/php).

Also, did you add this entry to the system crontab, or cactiuser crontab ?

I am not shur of all, i am starting on linux, i think its in system crontab.

So, does it work when running the poller by hand ?

"Could not open input file: /path/to/cacti/poller.php"

i have not said before, but i use cacti version : 0.8.7a

/path/to/cacti is an example

You have to use the full path to poller.php

pyth · Post by **pyth** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 10:52 am

Sorry i dont think at this time

# /var/www/cacti/poller.php

"-bash : /var/www/cacti/poller.php: Permission denied"

i see in your location : "France", you speak french ?

Run

Code: Select all

$ php /var/www/cacti/poller.php

One other thing, it's not recommended to run it as root...

Cacti
