Create .rrd file manually

Post by ThomasH »

Hello together,

lately my cacti installation had some access rights problems, therefore no .rrd files could be created.
I set up all configurations and the retrievement of all information works fine.
The access rights are now fine, but don't get the .rrd files processed.

Because I don't want to delete and recreate all configurations I'm looking for a solution how to create .rrd files to my configurations manually.
I already created an empty .rrd file with the correct config name, but hasn't been updated.

Can you please give me an hint, how the .rrds will get created/processed?
Thank you in advance.
Thomas

You don't manually create the RRDs, the poller.php file runs the functions that creates them for you so ensure you have a cron entry defined that runs it.

That log suggests that there is nothing enabled for spine to query... at least thats how my tired brain is interpreting it this evening. Also, that looks like 1.2.x, so may sure you have spine updated to 1.2.x too and have set values against the poller for threads etc.

Have you run spine by hand yet? Seems spine is not running.
./spine -R -V 3 -S
Before history, there was a paradise, now dust.
