[SOLVED] Disabling output for Cron Job

[mrtechguy]

Hello all,
I was wondering if there was a flag I can pass to the poller script to disable the output, as at the moment I am getting an email saying this:

Code: Select all

You can see where that is going to get annoying seen as I get it every 5 minutes of every day.

Also how can I get rid of the error about /proc/meminfo?

Hi

Hello all,
I was wondering if there was a flag I can pass to the poller script to disable the output, as at the moment I am getting an email saying this:

you just have to redirect the output of the cron job :

Code: Select all

*/5 * * * * /bin/php /path/to/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

Also how can I get rid of the error about /proc/meminfo?

Are you using the "Local Linux Machine" host template on something else than a Linux host ?

[mrtechguy]

I am using that template on FreeBSD. Also I can't really grasp how to add hosts/graphs/data queries, it is all pretty confusing, just the way you add the graphs and it doesn't graph.

[fmangeant]

Can you configure Net-SNMP on your FreeBSD host, and then create a device in Cacti using the "ucd/net SNMP" host template ?

[mrtechguy]

I will try that.
I have reduced the email output, but still receives.

Code: Select all

cat: /proc/meminfo: No such file or directory
cat: /proc/meminfo: No such file or directory
ping: not found

-- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. 

[fmangeant]

IMHO you should delete all graphs based on the "Local Linux machine" host template.

For the 'ping' error, are you using the "Unix - Ping Latency" graph template ?

[mrtechguy]

Yeah, I am using the ping latency one. The ping command does exist on my server though.

[fmangeant]

Can you check that the ping command is in cactiusers's PATH ?

[mrtechguy]

I have managed to fix all problems, just need to figure out how to add graphs/hosts/data sources properly.
