cactid 0.8.6d problems

Post by _alex_ »

I have a big amount of host and would like using Cactid, but it doesn't like me :(

when i am runnig cactid from cli i have these few lines.

Code: Select all

[hostaname]#/var/www/cacti$/opt/php/bin/php poller.php 
02/02/2005 06:09:29 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] DEBUG: About to Spawn a Remote Process [CMD: /var/www/cacti/cactid, ARGS:  0 47]

02/02/2005 06:14:26 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] Maximum runtime of 296 seconds exceeded. Exiting.

Does someone know what I might be done bad.
If I use cmd.php instead of Cactid all work nice but it's too slow.

php 4.3.3
cactid 0.8.6d
cacti 0.8.6c
net-snmp 5.0.1

thanks for any help and please excuse my english

Ok, have you edited the cactid.conf file and make sure it's in the same directory as cactid?

What OS are you running?

And what happens when you execute cactid from the command line?

I am having exactly the same issue.
cactid seems to run bu then exits with the 296 second time out message.


cmd.php still works fine.

RedHat 7.3
PHP 4.3.3
Cacti 0.8.6c
Cactid 0.8.6d

cactid and cactid.conf are in the same directory

did you verify the settings in cactid.conf?

one other thing i failed to mention is that somehow i had completely skipped over my net-snmp install. device adds and queries were working fine - i guess another snmp was installed although i didnt do it. musta been on system install.

anyways, my point is that i completely removed my cactid dir and poller.php exhibited the same symptoms. once i fixed my cactid.conf it worked great.

I didn't solve this problem , but i didn't try to use a newer version of php.

So i have make a strace of poller.php, and in trace in can see that it make polling, getting some values but receive a lot of theses call:

Code: Select all

read(3, 0x836d4b0, 8192)                = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
