Error in poller_output?

[chadw]

Please see the following thread regarding an error when retrieving snmp data containing "KBytes":

http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=8165

It seems there are several OID's that may append a "Bytes" or "KBytes" string to the result, but it appears it's causing an error in this case.

In poller_output when the polling is occuring I can see this:

mysql> select * from poller_output where rrd_name = 'meminformInstalled';
+---------------+--------------------+---------------------+----------------+
| local_data_id | rrd_name | time | output |
+---------------+--------------------+---------------------+----------------+
| 2176 | meminformInstalled | 2005-06-23 16:25:01 | 1048112 KBytes |
+---------------+--------------------+---------------------+----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

The output turns into a "U" by the time it's output to the rrdtool update command:

POLLER: Poller[0] CACTI2RRD: /usr/bin/rrdtool update /usr/local/cacti-0.8.6e/rra/nltechsupport_meminforminstalled_2176.rrd --template meminformInstalled N:U

Is this a script or snmp value?

Upgrade to 0.8.6e and this problem "should" go away. The "KBytes" is not a valid value and in 0.8.6e cmd.php and 0.8.6e cactid, the "KBytes" will be stripped making the end result numeric, which is Ok.

I'm already at 0.8.6e cacti, I'm still using 0.8.6d for cactid. I'll try using the new cactid and let you know.

Thanks.

Upgrading to cactid 0.8.6e did the trick.

Thanks!

Seems unusual. Please review the function named "strip_quotes" in lib/functions.php. That function should be removing all NON Numeric data from the end of the string.
