Poller or permissions issue? Can't generate graphs....

linebacker · Post by **linebacker** » Tue May 17, 2005 8:02 am

Running on Fedora Core 3 Linux
RRDTool Version: 1.2.6
Cacti Version: 0.6.8d

I followed the UNIX/Linux configuration doc from the Cacti site but am unable to get graphs to generate. All I get is

the little magnifying glass thing. SNMP is working, as when I add the device it discovers it correctly.

I ran the following:
mysql --user=root mysql
mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO lb@enos IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> flush privileges;

I have the following in my include/config.php file:
$database_type = "mysql";
$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "enos";
$database_username = "lb";
$database_password = "password";

I have the following statement in my crontab file:
*/5 * * * * lb php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

The poller seems to be running every 5 minutes like it should, I see this entry in the /var/log/cron file:
May 17 08:30:01 enos crond[15123]: (lb) CMD (php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1)

I'm able to login to Cacti and create devices, etc., but there are no graphs created. I have stopped and started the

crond service which made no difference. I've seen it mentioned several times to check permissions on certain

files/directories but I'm not sure how to do that, or what ones need to be checked/changed. Can anyone please help?

Please let me know if you need more information!! Thanks in advance!!

Yes, check the permissions on the rra and log directories in your cacti installation. The user running the polling should have read write access.

Hi Tony,
Yep, already did that (see below). I ran that command from the cacti directory. Anything else could be causing this issue? I have also posted the ls -la output from my cacti directory to see if you see anything goofy. Forgive my novice linux skills !!

chown -R lb rra/ log/

Run the poller as the user you are in cron and see if it give you any hints as to what is wrong.

How do I run the poller? Not sure if this is right, but below is output from command: php php.poller from the cacti directory:

You did it right... Now what that output tell me is that you have the paths set wrong in Cacti.

At the command line run the following and note the results, we are going to use the in the cacti settings.

Code: Select all

which snmpwalk
which snmpget
which rrdtool

If you get not found or no results on rrdtool, I would suggest that it is locate in /usr/local/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool. But you need to confirm that that is the location of the rrdtool binary.

Now, go into cacti web interface and goto Settings->Paths.

Update those paths to reflect the paths the utilities.

Rerun the poller, and post the output here.

But I know it's here, located in /usr/bin/rrdtool:

Not sure what to do now, since I see it located where I have it set, but it doesn't know it's there?

Post by **rony** » Tue May 17, 2005 3:52 pm

Did you compile RRDTool?

I would suggest that you remove that directory, ungzip it and untar it to a temporary location. From that directory, run ./configure, then make, then make test, then make install. It will probably install to /usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.49 or something like that.

Read the README file in the temporary directory..

linebacker · Post by **linebacker** » Tue May 17, 2005 6:18 pm

I tried what you suggested, but I'm afraid I'm kind of lost here, see below. I checked the doc within the directory but not sure what this error is telling me. You are correct that I did not compile rrdtool to begin with, I didn't know I had to. I really appreciate your help so far!!

Ok, formatted my server and started over. Have everything installed and rrdtool compiled and poller/etc. is working like a champ. The only issue I have is that when you go to look at device graphs, the first page still has that goofy magnifying glass, BUT, if you click on one of the graphs to get detail, those particular graphs are there. I've gone through the options and can't figure out why the main page for the device doesn't draw, but when you drill down you get graphs??

Post by **rony** » Fri May 20, 2005 8:39 am

Have you editing the Graph Tree to add your new hosts?

Are you running the poller from cron every 5 minutes?

Hi Tony,
Yep, polling every 5 minutes, stuff is on the graph tree. When I click on the magnifying glass, then the wrench, I see:

I checked the httpd error_log and see:

If I click on the text and not the magnifying glass thing (for instance to see the CPU utilization), it drills down and shows the graphs just perfect.

Hi Tony,

rrdtool-1.2.7
not sure on php version, I don't know how to tell what version. It came bundled with Fedora Core 3 install.

Very strange, the default page for each monitored device just shows the magnifying glass and object title, but if you click the object title (to get detail), those graphs are there. Just not the main page/default graphs.

Do you have your RRDTool version set correctly in cacti? It's on the paths page of the settings.

PHP version... Type

Code: Select all

 php -v

Poller or permissions issue? Can't generate graphs....
