Custom Templates do not have custom input fields

[johnny5]

I've recently installed cacti (0.8.7i) using repos (ubuntu) and then added a web page speed test tool from this website; http://www.askaboutphp.com/44/cacti-...ng-part-1.html

After following the guide above I copied some templates so I can add a bunch of websites via CLI for monitoring. Trouble is its not working. Drilling down I have found that Cacti thinks there is no input field for the graph template I'm trying to use;

Code: Select all

# php -q /usr/share/cacti/cli/add_graphs.php --graph-template-id=47 --list-input-fields
Known Input Fields:(name, default, description)
[no results]

I have copied all these templates from a working version of cacti on an older install of ubuntu/cacti (0.8.7g);

Code: Select all

# php -q /usr/share/cacti/site/cli/add_graphs.php --graph-template-id=37 --list-input-fields
Known Input Fields:(name, default, description)
50:url          URL

I can't see any difference in any of the templates with the exception of names I've used. Anyone have any ideas? I asked my senior sys admin bud to take a look and he couldn't find anything wrong with my templates or data input methods.

I'll attach a picture of my data input method... anyone got any ideas?

Input looks correct. What about the data and graph template?

Thanks for the reply, attached are the data & graph templates

Here is a picture of the custom script working on a domain I setup following the guide linked in the first post, I used this graph's dim/ds/graph for templates.

Also if I use the templates to make graphs, it works. I've just made 3-4 graphs for some common websites (google/yahoo/facebook) and they're working fine. Its something to do with the CLI command add_graphs.php thats not working correctly somehow...

Possibly already fixed in cacti 0.8.8a. If not, then a bug should be created http://www.cacti.net/bugs.php

I'll try and get a hold of other versions of add_graphs.php and see if they work.
