RRD Creation Problem (After trying to create a php script)

[Misora]

I decided to make a ping script for windows that is capable of 2 decimal points of accuracy. Unfortunately, I have no clue why rrd files are not being created for the data source. I tried to follow the manual as close as I could to create a set of templates.

Currently attempting to use the "Script - Script Server (PHP)" method. Here is the input string I have:

Code: Select all

<path_cacti>/scripts/ss_tping.php ss_tping <hostname>

Output from script server (command line):

Code: Select all

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>php c:\cacti\script_server.php
PHP Script Server has Started - Parent is cmd
c:\cacti\scripts\ss_tping.php ss_tping google.com
AV:13.25 PL:0
quit
PHP Script Server Shutdown request received, exiting

Output from cacti.log:

Code: Select all

07/14/2005 05:40:20 PM - PHPSVR: Poller[0] DEBUG: INCLUDE: 'C:\cacti/scripts/ss_tping.php' SCRIPT: 'ss_tping' CMD: 'google.com'
07/14/2005 05:40:24 PM - PHPSVR: Poller[0] SERVER: C:\cacti/scripts/ss_tping.php ss_tping google.com output AV:79.75 PL:17

From what I can tell, CACTI2RRD never runs to create (or update) the rrd for this script...

I could not find any documentation after a bit of looking on the xml files which are located in /resource/script_server. As a result, I didn't write one for my script... Any possibility that this is the problem?

If any additional information is needed, I'll be glad to post. And hopefully I can get this working and post the windows ping script that a lot of people seem to want.

Thanks for any suggestions anyone might have.

There is a bug in Cacti 0.8.6x with PHP Script Server Scripts. I will attach the fix here. Apply the patch and then you will be able to accurately associate the DS items with the output variables. Sorry about that.

Hey,

I'm quite new to this.. can you please explain how to apply the patch? I have been looking for the two files to be replaced (?) in my cacti folder with no success. Please explain.. thanks!

This should be a sticky. It would be helpful to put this on the homepage as well.

.... I think I had a bad search in my micro$oft OS a while ago.. the two patch-files of course are present at the root of the cacti... will overwrite them now and hopefully that's it!

PS: don't search for two files at the same time in Windows... it does not work...!

thaks!
