cacti-user Mailing List for Cacti

http://localhost/cacti should work as long as you've got some form of
http running, you can also put in your ip address, ie
http://192.168.1.1/cacti. Also, is there a reason your running this on
win98? You could sure get a lot more out of that box putting a good
version of linux on it. Just a thought.

Hello Jenggo. I think the problem is you have extracted cacti to the =
wrong
folder. You should have to extract it to the apache documentroot folder =
and
point the browser to:=20
http://your-server/cacti, where your server is the ip address or your =
server
DNS name.

As you know, the documentroot folder is the folder specified in apache
httpd.conf as the folder for http files, inside documentroot there must =
be a
folder named cacti where you extracted the cacti files.

I hope this works for you,

Looks very promising. No hiccups in the graphs, and no cactid instances=20
floating around with nothing to do.

Seems like the problem has been solved - thanks a lot!

Does this only happen for LDAP users?  Can you create a new local user

Yes, you are correct in that assumption.

I just updated to .8.5 yesterday, hoping to fix the issue. Well, I'll 
try the patch tonight and give you feedback tomorrow.

What version of cacti are you using?  I had similar issue on Solaris
with the version in 0.8.5, and Ian provided a patch on the list that
fixed the problem.

Hello,

we're currently monitoring about 1300 rrd files with cactid (which is 
crontabbed each 5 minutes) and seem to be running into timing problems. 
Instead of shutting down after being executed, some cactid instances 
seem to remain running - and that creates a huge resource hog on our 
monitoring server.

Does anyone have an idea how we can circumvent this (and not give up our 
5-minute update interval)?

Hello,

I just installed Cacti, and have got it running against a few servers. 
However, my main intent is to have it replace the MRTG graphs we generate
for the colocation clients of the hosting company I work for.

Our Current Setup:
==================
Bascially, we have two Juniper routers, on which is created a "virtual
port" for each colocation client (thus, traffic usage is based on how much
traffic goes through that customer's assigned "port", regardless of how
many servers/IPs they have)

The Junipers upload the files containing the bandwidth usage to a central
Linux server, which is then queried by MRTG using a string like the
following in the 'mrtg.conf' file:

--- CUT HERE ---
Target[CUSTOMER.bandwidth]:1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255.170&1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.256.170:<communnity_string>@central_linux_server
--- CUT HERE ---

In the string '1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255.170', the '170' onthe end is the
client's virtual port onthe Juniper router.

I was wondering if it is possible to duplicate this in Cacti, and if so,
if anyone has any suggestion on doing so?

Thank you, in advance, for your help.

I have cacti 0.8.5 installed in a windows 2000 server. Can anyone tell =
me if
there is a cactistoric version for windows and where do i get it??
=20
thanks

hello,

i did a little searching on the message board but didn't find an answer
and i prefer a mailing list... so here i am.

about one month ago my graphs stopped showing data and started reporting
nan.

i thought maybe it was my firewall (iptables). so i checked it out and
found that some provisions weren't being made for snmp. so i added the
following lines and restarted iptables:

-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 161 --syn -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 161 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 162 -j ACCEPT

but unfortunately that didn't solve the problem! i also tried restarting
snmpd but didn't get any love.

someone have a clue?

oh, and like my subject line indicates, monitoring of the local server
(the one that cacti resides on) is still working fine.


thanks,
chris.

I'm having a tough time getting Cacti and Squidstats to work.

Cacti is up and operating, and graphing for some router devices that I
created. However when I create devices based on the squidstats template the
.rrd files never get written and therefore can't be graphed.

Graph debug just says: 

ERROR: opening '/usr/local/cacti/rra/ewhs_proxy_squid_clienthttphit_14.rrd':

Here's a log of the cmd.php run and it runs as user "nobody":

Hi,

I have created a script for printing the total used and free space on 
all partitions. I also created a Data Input Method for it. I checked 
that it worked by running the cronjob directly, but I get the following 
output:

MULTI command: sh /var/www/cacti/scripts/diskspace.sh, output: 
used:40772379 avail:31717218
MULTI expansion: found fieldid: 42, found rrdname: used, value: 40772379
MULTI expansion: found fieldid: 44, found rrdname: , value: 31717218

followed by:

update /var/www/cacti/rra/kebab_avail_32.rrd --template used: 
N:40772379:31717218
ERROR: unknown DS name ''

All the other updates work OK and I have doublechecked the script and Cacti.
I am really stuck. Anybody have any ideas?

Subject: Re: [cacti-user] Sendmail and SNMP


I have developed three graph templates with associated data sources: MTA
- Messages by Group, MTA - Messages Handled, and MTA - Messages Queued.
I'd be glad to export them and send them to you.

For the Messages by Group there's a data query and xml template I'd have
to send you as well.  Querying messages by group requires an indexed
data value, which is a bit more complex to work with.

This is all done with plain SNMP queries, no scripts, so you need to
have built SNMP with support for your MTA.  I use net-snmp with
sendmail, and it seems to get its information from the mail stats file.

I don't think so.
Instead of manually typing in the RRD filenames, maybe you could
"batch replace" these filenames by updating the column
"data_source_path"
in the table "data_template_data" of the Cacti DB.  But properly you
will
have to dig into to Cacti database schema to do this properly (the
scheme was published
somewhere on the forum in www.raxnet.org .

Thanks for the answer!

Is there a possibility to define the RRD file's pathname and name in a 
template? If I could define the name with e.g. |host_description| and 
|query_ifName| I could just add my devices with templates without the 
need to manually enter the new filename in each DS.

Or does anybody know another workaround for this? I have to create about 
1000 RRDs this way, so any suggestions are welcome :)

cheers,
Daniel

Would similar steps work to migrate from a "years-running MRTG 
installation w/ rrds" to Cacti?

Thank you,

Hi,

has anybody experience in importing rrds-files into cacti?
In think this has already been done two years ago as mentioned in this 
thread:

    http://www.raxnet.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=86&highlight=

This script seems not to work with the latest cacti-release. Has anybody 
ever done an update of this script or has anybody other tools for 
importing rrds into cacti?

Thanks.

cheers,
Daniel

No problem.

You just need to have a Data Template and a Graph Template that
corresponds
with the RRD file that is updated by the other tool.

There are two possibilities:
--> a proper Data Template and a Graph Template is already available in
Cacti (e.g.
     type Traffic bits/sec)
     In that case, just define the graph in the usual way, but make sure
that "Data Source Active"
     is unset for the graph data (in order to be able to do this, you
will have to select
     "Use Per-Data Source Value" for "Data Source Active" in the Data
Template).
    After the graph and data source are defined, filll in the RRD file's
pathname in=20
    the field "Data Source Path" of the Data Source.

--> no readily available Data Template and Graph Template : then you
will define your own
     template, and in the Data Template set "Data Input Source" to None.
The further procedure
     for activating the graph is identical as in possibility (1).

Hi,

has anybody experience in using cacti just to graph rrdfiles, not to 
create and update them? I have a lot of rrds which are created by other 
tools and would like cacti to graph them.

Hi All,

=20

How do I plot peaks in the cacti graphs, as in like the WithPeaks option
in MRTG?

=20

=20

Thanks and regards,

Btw we've had to go back to cmd.php for now (back to a steady load 3
instead of 0.00). Besides cactid cutting off the long multi result of
that one PDU graph I've posted about before, it also was only storing
the data for about our first 1000 graphs, the last 500 weren't being
updated and eventually just said 'nan'. I tried looking through the
cactid output but it appeared to be gathering the data just fine for
those 500 non-updating-graphs, didn't have time yet to look into it
further.=20

=20

For a crude multithreaded workaround I modified cmd.php so that when it
does its SQL select there's a limit at the very end using:

=20

$polling_items =3D db_fetch_assoc("select * from data_input_data_cache
limit $argv[1],$argv[2]");

=20

then in my crontab I just have this:

=20

0-59/5 * * * * cactiuser  /usr/local/bin/php /home/cacti/cmd.php 0 500 >
/dev/null 2>&1

0-59/5 * * * * cactiuser  /usr/local/bin/php /home/cacti/cmd.php 500 500
> /dev/null 2>&1

0-59/5 * * * * cactiuser  /usr/local/bin/php /home/cacti/cmd.php 1000
500 > /dev/null 2>&1

0-59/5 * * * * cactiuser  /usr/local/bin/php /home/cacti/cmd.php 1500
500 > /dev/null 2>&1

0-59/5 * * * * cactiuser  /usr/local/bin/php /home/cacti/cmd.php 2000
99999 > /dev/null 2>&1

=20

Much worse load wise but it got all of the graphs updating again.

=20

I'm still not completely sure cactid is doing the first 1000 or so ok,
or if its just random, otherwise I'd be tempted to have cactid running
and just use cmd.php for 1000+..

=20

Not trying to complain here; Cacti rules and cactid's very close to
kicking cmd.php out the door. ;-) This is just meant to be
informational. If any of the developers are interested in some captured
cactid output to compare it to the cmd.php output let me know.

=20
