[Solved] "The cacti poller has not run yet"

[gedebook2009]

Hi, I'm new to cacti. I am interest of the Cacti usage for monitoring tools and also it is open source.

I'm still new to the Cacti installation. I am using Fedora 32 Server edition. I have done the entire installation procedure until I able to login my Cacti console. Now I'm going through to the main usage. My Cacti showing the graph that telling me the poller is not running as follow picture.

Do I missed the procedure? Or is there a clue to identify the problem for troubleshoot?

Did you setup the cron job? Does anything appear in the Cacti log? You should start to get some stats about the poller runs in the logs if it is running.

Previously was not showing any new log. I did setup the cron job for cacti, which the file is /etc/cron.d/cacti. But I just realize that my server didn't installed the crond service. So the cron didn't updated as I expected.

I also investigates at the other site, it seems give me a clue for troubleshooting. I did it manually do "sudo /usr/bin/php /usr/share/cacti/poller.php", and it's poll just once.

Now the crond works correcly with the specified interval.

● crond.service - Command Scheduler

Thanks.

You need the enable and start the cron service, not just install it.
