Poller cache shows wrong path to script

[suretass]

Hi all,

I am afraid I am new to Cacti but have managed to muddle through and get most of what I want working. There is one thing that I am stumbling on though and I have searched extensively for a clue to the problem but found nothing.


I have added a poller script for Netscreen's by Fletcher Cocquyt but it fails on the poller cycle with the following log output (In verbose mode).

04/09/2010 11:15:03 AM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[5] DS[34] WARNING: Result from CMD not valid. Partial Result: U
04/09/2010 11:15:03 AM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[5] DS[33] CMD: /usr/local/cacti/scripts/netscreen_stats.pl , output: U

This shows it trying to execute the script from the wrong path and I can't find anywhere to change this.

Here is the output from looking at the poller cache.

Script: /usr/local/cacti/scripts/netscreen_stats.pl
RRD: /opt/cacti-0.8.7e/rra/fccnsfw01_cpu1_32.rrd

The correct location is not /usr/local but actually /opt/cacti-0.8.7e/scripts/netscreen_stats.pl


Any help greatly appreciated from those more familiar!

Please run cli/rebuild_poller_cache.php and retry
R.

Thank you for the reply Gandalf, I appreciate the input.

I had already tried the 'Rebuild Poller Cache' option under utilities in the GUI but have now executed the cli command. I am afraid nothing has changed after either of these.


xxxxxfw01 - Netscreen Stats Script: /usr/local/cacti/scripts/netscreen_stats.pl
RRD: /opt/cacti-0.8.7e/rra/xxxxxfw01_cpu1_32.rrd

xxxxxfw01 - Netscreen Stats Script: /usr/local/cacti/scripts/netscreen_stats.pl
RRD: /opt/cacti-0.8.7e/rra/xxxxxfw01_cpu1_33.rrd

xxxxxfw01 - Netscreen Stats Script: /usr/local/cacti/scripts/netscreen_stats.pl
RRD: /opt/cacti-0.8.7e/rra/xxxxxfw01_cpu1_34.rrd

This is the output in the poller cache window.

I have tried to find the config file that contains the rogue path but I can't seem to find out what this might be. If I havn't provided information that would be helpful then please let me know what else might assist.

Thanks again

Please see include/global.php

No reference to the path in that file I am afraid. I actually searched the whole Cacti path for any reference to this ficticious path and have found nothing.

Currently I am completely lost as to why the scripts are trying to execute from a non existant path. Is anyone able to suggest anything?

Something wrong with perl? When you run that script from cli, is there anything else?

[suretass]

Perl looks to be fine,

[root@xxxlxces01 scripts]# perl ./netscreen_stats.pl 192.168.0.1
cpu1:4 cpu5:2 cpu15:2 memory_allocated:29358560 memoryAvailable:40125216 memoryFragmented:22 sessionsAll ocated:11 sessionsMaximum:8064 sessionsFailed:0


The actual script seems to work fine. The problem appears to me simply that Cacti is trying to call the script from a non existant path. Unless I am missing something here?

[suretass]

Sorry to bump this post, I am still trying to get to the bottom of why Cacti might call scripts from a non existant directory path.

Can anyone point me to why this may be? Currently I am not able to poll key stats from my netscreen firewall.

Summary is :

Cacti is calling my netscreen poller script from "/usr/local/cacti/scripts/netscreen_stats.pl"

Actual path of the script is "/opt/cacti-0.8.7e/scripts/netscreen_stats.pl"

Attempts to run the script directly yield a success at the command line with the SNMP data returned.

Poller cache has been rebuilt with no affect.

Cheers,
Russ

Check the data templates etc. My guess is that this may be a hard coded path somewhere.
