Clearing Logs or Poller Cache

[ichoudhury]

When I try to clear log, I get this error

Warning: unlink(d:\cacti/log/cacti.log) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in d:\cacti\utilities.php on line 195

Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Utime failed: Permission denied in d:\cacti\utilities.php on line 196

log directory has the right permission setup (Now I have full permission). Anyway, I checked that line the error is talking about...but what am I not seeing here?

function utilities_clear_logfile() {
$logfile = read_config_option("path_cactilog");

if ($logfile == "") {
$logfile = "./log/rrd.log";
}

if (file_exists($logfile)) {
unlink($logfile);
touch($logfile);
}
}

Poller Cache also never clears...

check for hung processes. Also, check permissions on the log file and make sure that your web server account has rwx to the log directory and rx to the rra directory.

you must be right about the hung processes. I couldn't find any, but rebooted the server (needed one anyway).... And I am not getting the error anymore.

Poller cache still doesn't clears... (or maybe it does but get filled back up before even it refreshes.... (no big deal). No error msg there..

Thanks..

Clearing the poller cache is a little misleading and will be fixed in future versions to something like "Refresh Poller Cache"

which dir is the poller cache located in on disk?

[TheWitness]

It is part of the database and not a specific file.

TheWitness

[lee_connell]

which table in the database? because when i clear it, it dont clear, have you ever figured that out?

[TheWitness]

It does not clear, it get's rebuilt.

[TheWitness]
