I changed my poller to Cactid. everything is working except an external ping script.
Logfiles says:
03/01/2005 01:09:09 PM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[28] WARNING: Result from SCRIPT not valid. Partial Result: U...
03/01/2005 01:09:09 PM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[28] ERROR: Empty result [hostname.com]: 'perl C:/cacti/scripts/ntping.pl 5 hostname.com'

In a dosbox using command: C:\>perl c:\cacti\scripts\ntping.pl 5 hostname.com
avg:18 max:20

There are no leading/trailing blanks in the output. The script writes
print "avg:$avg max:$max";

Hi

I'm using Cactid version 0.8.6d

The Data Input Method is configured as Script/Command

perl <path_cacti>/scripts/ntping.pl <n> <ip>

Maybe it has something the do with the slashes ? i tried backslashes also, but that didn't work either.

I attached some parts of the debug logfile. I think the most relevant parts are in it.

run poller.php from the command line in debug mode and redirect the output to a file and see if you get some form of error message.

hi,
Here is a zip file with the output from
C:\cacti\php-win poller.php > c:\output.txt

and the logfile from cacti.

Here is your error.

03/07/2005 04:29:36 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] CACTI2RRD: c:/rrdtool/rrdtool.exe update C:\cacti\rra\pww_filenet_average_152.rrd --template 1110209371:U
ERROR: Not enough arguments
OK

It looks like the data template is not specifying an RRD DS name for the internal handling of the RRD file. That would be a template issue. In addition, ping is not returning a value.

Also,

Please insure that you have a base "Cygwin" installed on your poller and that the cygwin1.dll, sh.exe, and any other DLL's are removed from your c:\cactid directory.

TheWitness: Thank you very much.
It was the missing CYGWIN installation.

After installing Cygwin, ( and removing cygwin1.dll from c:\cactid !! ) everything works fine.
