Cacti stopped graphing > Getting "Waiting on 1/1 pol

Post by cmcguire »

When I came in to work this morning I noticed that Cacti has not graphed any thing for the last 12 hours. When I do a php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php I get the following:

[root@fdt-es1 /]# php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.2
Content-type: text/html

Waiting on 1/1 pollers.

Nothing has been changed to the configuration of Cacti and it has worked reliably for 4 months.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Aren't you a linux user and should be posting in the linux forum?

I just had/have the same problem (look in this forum). Never really did find a cause/fix. It just went away.

Well, I am not sure. What is the best way to find out? Sorry for my lack of experience. Really new!

If you are running a version of Cacti before 0.8.6c, please upgrade. Cacti versions prior to 0.8.6c had a bug that caused the poller to crash when a polled host was rebooted.

Once you have upgraded, you need to run the following MySQL command from the MySQL terminal session:

mysql --user=root --password cacti
> truncate table poller_output;
> quit

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Sadly, I am seeing exactly the same thing when running cactid under 0.8.6c and there's nothing in poller_output. cmd.php works just fine, so I guess I'll have to like with 70-second polling times. :cry:

If it's not running with cactid, please make sure that cactid runs properly from the command line on it's own. Change directories into the cactid production directory and run it from there in "MEDIUM" mode. You should get output.

Once you have verified that, please insure that the path is accurate in Settings->Paths.

Thanks for the help. I am currently running 0.8.6b and I am not sure exactly how to upgrade. However, I did run the mysql commands then php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php and it started polling again. I don't know if this will happen again but thank you very much for helping out!

To upgrade to 0.8.6c, you simply need to overwrite the files from 0.8.6b and then take the config.php.dist and copy over config.php. Make sure you make your site specific changes to config.php though.

There are no database changes between versions. Once you get the files applied, there are some additional patches at the folowing link: www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/0.8.6c/pre-patched. Simply move those files over the production files and you will be AOK.

Please backup you directory first of course.
