I have the latest version of cacti. 0.8.7h. its running on red hat 6. and i'm using boost.

this seems to happen whenever i add new data templates/graph templates to graph the output of scripts.

and the only way i can fix it, apparently, is to do rebuild the poller. i mean, do i have to do this all the time?

i know i will be adding many more scripts to cacti and i dont think it'll look too nice to be having gaps in graphs each time a new script is added.

thank you so much for your response.

Take the lib/utilities.php from the Cacti Group SVN (branches/0.8.7) and replace your current one. We will be releasing the 'i' version which corrects this as well as a few other 'major' issues this weekend. It was planned for monday, but the release Mgr had other obligations.

i dont think the utilities.php is working. i replaced my current one with the version you said to get from svn. and today when i try to visit the "System Utilities" from the GUI, i get a blank page.

any suggestions?

thanks

Afterwards rebuild your poller cache. Provide feedback again. If that does not get it. Find what script is causing it and forward to me the script and the syntax.

Still not working. I cant rebuild the poller because the option to do that is in the "System Utilities" of Cacti GUI, which is what i'm having problems with as it is blank.

any ideas?

thank you

any way i can get this back to show up?

:( unfortunately guys, the issue is still there. i just added a new datatemplate/graph template and all my graphs stopped. i'm now having to do rebuild poller cache again.....a process that takes a while to complete given the amount of devices i have in them.

any suggestions?

Please name the Template you have duplicated. I'll try to reproduce. At least, such a problem is not yet known
