I am trying to graph the PPS processing of a (several) Cisco 4510R
switch(es). These have 6x48 RJ45 port modules - a total of 288
interfaces. I'll go mad if I try to create so many graphs :((

That is not counting the handful of GBICs on these switches.

Don't know of any issues off hand.  But there could be issues with the 
available php version.

As for rrdtool, you might have to compile it.

Greetings ... just wanted to introduce myself.


Just curious here ... has anyone been able to install Cacti on AIX 5.2 ?

If so, I would appreciate it if you could/would point me towards any
documents
or faq or relay to me any tips on a howto.

Thanks in advance,


Jay.

Binand,

I had to do something similar to create an aggregate traffic graph for 
several interfaces.  There are probably several ways to do this in 
Cacti, but here's what I came up with:
1) Create a graph with all of the OIDs as graph items.
2) For all but one of them, change the line color to "none".
3) Create a custom cdef that does whatever math you're after.  (For my 
graph, I added three inputs and then multiplied by 8 to turn bytes into 
bits:" a,b,+,c+,8,*".  For you, I think it'd be something like 
"a,b,+,c,+,d,+,e,+,f,+,2,/")
4) Assign this cdef to the last graph item (the one that has a color 
assigned to it).

No guarantees that this is exactly right, but I think this is one 
direction that might work out for you.

I have seen a similar issue in the past in two situations, perhaps one 
of these is what's happening for you:
1) I inadvertantly was graphing the same object twice
2) My monitoring software's SNMP queries were slowing up the snmp 
daemon's response time.

Attached is a graph. All devices are showing similar. I can't figure out 
why it's doing this. The poller isn't running extra long, or into the 
next poll length. intermittent

We originally thought it was due to a co-worker's smoke ping script, and 
that was running long, but after we removed it the problem still exists.

Thank you very mutch for your help.

I find the OIDs in my MIB files, but now I have another question for you.

What can I do to obtain Kbits or Kbits/sec. from this entry? Just 
ifInOctets*1024 (I intend  ifInOctets as a counter)?
By this way I obtain the real traffic for all the packets but not for real 
information trasmitted inside them. Or this information consist only of the 
real information trasmitted?

I hope you can undersatand with my imperfect english.

Thanks
Franco.

What id the OID to manage traffic count?
Cacti release it in automatic and I want to check traffic directly by 
snmpget.

Thanks
Franco. 

I just demonstrated Cacti at work, and got a demonstration
on the currently running system (solarwinds.net).

One notable thing was that in the Solarwinds system, you could
select parts of a graph and get statistics from that marking...

Any ideas/plans on how/when this can be availible in Cacti?

I noticed that the current released version on the site is 0.8.6d, but
looking at CVS, it seems like theres a branch for the 0.8.6e version. Is
that still in development, or just sitting there not being used? If I
grabbed the RELEASE_0_8_6e branch from cvs, would this create a stable
0.8.6e release? I'm wondering because I'd like to add it into portage :)
I just added a cvs snapshot for cactid today for people to test.

hallo,

i managed to monitor my debian "sarge" box fine using cacti. now i want to
monitor my windows xp computer.

i installed snmp on the win xp, created a new device:

 Spitfire (192.168.0.238)

Software: Windows 2000 Version 5.1 (Build 2600 Uniprocessor Free)

but in device overview it says status "down" and in graph management it
says :


RRDTool Says:

ERROR: opening '/usr/share/cacti/site/rra/spitfire_hdd_total_46.rrd': No
such file or directory

every user on the debian box has rwx rights on /rra and /log dir.

have i overseen something?

Hi All,

I have a custom MRTG graph which I'd like to migrate to Cacti.

The graph snmp-walks a number of OIDs:

my @oids =3D (
        "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.7",    # ifHCInUcastPkts
        "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.8",    # ifHCInMulticastPkts
        "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.9",    # ifHCInBroadcastPkts
        "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.11",   # ifHCOutUcastPkts
        "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.12",   # ifHCOutMulticastPkts
        "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.13"    # ifHCOutBroadcastPkts
        );

Adds up all the numbers (for all interfaces on the switch), divides
the final result by 2 - to get an estimate of the PPS processing of a
catalyst switch.

Can someone help me how I can migrate this to Cacti? The MRTG
configuration looks like:

Target[pps]: `/home/ppsmon/pps.pl`
MaxBytes[pps]: 102000
Title[pps]: PPS
PageTop[pps]: <H1>PPS Processing by Switch</H1>
Options[pps]: growright,nopercent,noinfo,noo
YLegend[pps]: Kpps
ShortLegend[pps]: Kpps
LegendI[pps]: &nbsp;Switch1

Thanks,

Binand

No, I do not beleive you are wrong. I believe this part is IMHO
also the weak part of cacti. If it works directly all good, but
little problems like this....

Sorry, I am not that an expert. I gave up at some point
because of this.

i would have thought so too but it only seems to be occuring on some
interfaces on some devices. for example i made a cisco cpu graph template
which includes 5 second 1 minute and 5 minute oids rather than just the
single oid which comes with the default cisco graph. so i made a new graph
template and applied it to all my cisco routers and it created the rrd files
and the graphs for all of those just fine and they live in the same
directory as the rrd files which arent getting created. if there was a
permission issue none of the graphs i have created would be working but its
only some rrds.

what makes it more annoying is that i have cranked up the logging to both
cacti.log and to syslog yet i dont see diddly squat re the web interface
from either

Web SNMP Messages
Web RRD Graph Syntax

and the only messages in the logfile are from the poller !

05/27/2005 04:20:05 PM - SYSTEM STATS: Time: 3.3226 s, Method: cactid,
Processes: 2, Threads: 4, Hosts: 11, Hosts/Process: 6


yet in my apache error log i find web related rrd errors ?

ERROR: opening '/var/www/html/cacti/rra/2950_traffic_in_1493.rrd': No such
file or directory

am i wrong to assume that these rrd event or file not found failures should
be logged by cacti somewhere without having to manually enable graph debug?

any ideas on what i need to do to crank up the debug on this sucker so i can
trace the rrd file creation (or lack of) process?

matt carter wrote:

In my case it was related to thepermissions on the directory

i am just trying to graph a simple ifindex using the built in snmp interface
statistics data query but for some reason for some graphs on some hosts the
rrd files arent being created and i dont know why. 

i add the cisco switch  to cacti and it accepts the device and says the
interface index retrieval was successful as follows


1) SNMP - Interface Statistics 	(Verbose Query) 	Uptime Goes
Backwards 	Success [204 Items, 29 Rows] 	Reload Data Query  Delete
Data Query Association


204 items, 29 rows, no worries.

i create a graph for the first interface as a test and it adds it fine 

Graph Title 	Template Name 	Size 	
cat1924-01 - Traffic - 1 	Interface - Traffic (bits/sec) 	120x500

however when i turn on graph debug mode

RRDTool Says:

ERROR: opening '/var/www/html/cacti/rra/cat192401_traffic_in_1462.rrd': No
such file or directory

i do not have any rrd files whatsoever for this host in my rra directory.

does anyone have any ideas on how i could further diagnose this problem?

Thanks!  It works now.=20

The format is=20

disk / [min size] but you don't need the min size unless you plan to use
alerting via snmptraps

what you might need to watch out for is that the permissions allow you
to look at that OID.

This is closer to the top where you define your security settings. To
make it simple, I allowed everything after .1

That doesn't seem to makie sense... Why should the cron job persist after

I will try this, soon as I get a test server built again...

All these hosts have valid data sources.  The down hosts are indeed
responding to SNMP sysUpTime requests:
SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 =3D Timeticks: (711928528) 82 days, 9:34:45.28

I am only using the SNMP ping, not ping+SNMP.

Hello

Although after "Reading The Fine Manuals" I am getting stucked in a problem
with making adding new graphs easily and friendly.

I have written a script, a data input methods, a data template and 3 graph
templates which collect and graph data from several Apache2 Instances.
The datas for the 3 graphs are in one rrd-file per Virtual Host. On one
physical machine I have up to 40 Virtual Hosts.

Adding the Data Source then isn't a problem. I have to enter Hostname and
VirtualHostname as the only arguments to the script. The problem comes when
I like to add the 3 graphs from the Virtual Host to a Host. I have then in
the part "Supplemental Graph Template Data" to manually pick the graph Item
Fields out of tooo many Datasources from this host. Apparently this
procedure is a pain in the ass and not very fault tolerant when I have to
setup 200 redundant instances (8 Data Items) = 3200 times select the right
graph item.

I hope I explained it understandable.

What I like is to change it the way that already when I add a Datasource
where I specify Host and Virtual Host all is clear where the graph has to
be placed and I don't have to add the graph manually by picking the right
graph Item Fields.

Any idea how I can make this a bit more automated, so that for the graphs
always the right datasource is proposed?

Has it sthg. to do with the message Data Source [Field Not Templated] in
the Graph template?

Thanks
