I turn on the graph debug mode...

RRDTool Command:

/usr/bin/rrdtool graph - \
--imgformat=PNG \
--start=-86400 \
--end=-300 \
--title="Localhost - Memory Usage" \
--rigid \
--base=1000 \
--height=120 \
--width=500 \
--alt-autoscale-max \
--lower-limit=0 \
--vertical-label="kilobytes" \
--slope-mode \
--font TITLE:12: \
--font AXIS:8: \
--font LEGEND:10: \
--font UNIT:8: \
DEF:a="/var/www/cacti/rra/localhost_mem_buffers_3.rrd":mem_buffers:AVERAGE \
DEF:b="/var/www/cacti/rra/localhost_mem_swap_4.rrd":mem_swap:AVERAGE \
AREA:a#FF4105FF:"Free" \
GPRINT:a:LAST:"Current\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINT:a:AVERAGE:"Average\:%8.2lf %s" \

GPRINT:b:LAST:"Current\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINT:b:AVERAGE:"Average\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINT:b:MAX:"Maximum\:%8.2lf %s"
RRDTool Says:

ERROR: opening '/var/www/cacti/rra/localhost_mem_buffers_3.rrd': No such file or directory

Is not a permissions issues.. but /var/www/cacti/rra/ is empty..

Have you verified that the poller runs properly from whichever crontab it's being run from? If the rrd files don't exist, I would suspect that the poller is not running.

How I do that?

I have installed the RRDTOOL twice..

Once I did it from:
$ sudo wget http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.2.18.tar.gz

After that and seeing the error, I have tried:
$ sudo apt-get install rrdtool

Thanks for the quickly answer..

Which installation guide did you follow?
Are you using cmd.php or spine for your poller?

During your cacti setup, you should have created a user to run cacti under. That users crontab should contain an entry like the following:

*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/share/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

Of course you would need to change the paths to match your setup.
You can look in your cacti.log to see if its being run.

I'm not sure how up to date this guide is, but it should at least point you in the right direction.

You should manually run:

Code: Select all

php -q poller.php --force
You should be looking for OK's. If the file is still not present, you should check for the name of the RRDfile in the poller cache. If it is not there, attempt to Repopulate the Poller cache. If it magically appears thereafter, I will need to know where you obtained your Cacti install from and how it was installed.

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! Solved!

The secret (Just like the Asterisk) is on Installation !!

There is no secrets...
