You can either reindex hosts periodically using the cli script for doing so, or change your reined method to verify all fields.

Subject: Re: [cacti-user] monitoring cluster file systems with cacti


Can anybody recommend a better way to graph/monitor cluster file systems on unix/linux servers? I have created a data query based on snmp index, where I get total space and used space from the snmp agent. However, the problem is that if the cluster file system moves around, the index changes and this screws up the graphing/monitoring.

Does anybody think, "Host mib script server" would resolve this?

Thanks,

hasan

Hi,

After upgrade from 0.8.7b to 0.8.7e all graphics with
Total bandwidth and 95th Percentile don't show values

Look at example

AREA:cdefa#00CF00FF:"In  "  \
GPRINT:cdefa:MAX:"Max\:%8.2lf %s"  \

How fix the problem?

Thank you.

Hello:

I have an aggregrate graph (Using the aggregate plugin)
that combines and displays the traffic for my clients'
servers.

The aggregate graph shows a much higher 95th percentile
line than the uplink from my switch to the Internet.
I am theorizing this is because of inter-server communication
which does not need to go to the Internet.

For billing, I need to measure the 94th percentile usage 
of Internet traffic on a per-client basis.

Is there a way to eliminate the intra-switch traffic
from an aggregate graph?

Thanks,	
	Neil

Will your e-commerce site go offline if you have
a DB server failure, fiber cut, flood, fire, or other disaster?
If so, ask about our geographically redundant database system.

Ok, sorry I can't be of help.
Wish you best of luck in figuring this issue out.

yes it works. I actually can write and copy whatever I want in that folder
using whatever user for the permissions I've set. I also tried to generate a
graph graph straight into the folder  using rrdtool and it works. But still
the export does not!
I assume that the export feature produces a png as a result, not a rrd btw.
This is just an assumption for I didn't manage to make it working though :)

Well, actually I haven't yet used the graph export feature, but I  
assume it creates a copy from the desired .rrd file to the desired  
folder?
If this would be basically it, let's assume you login on your Suse 10  
machine, where you have cacti running (or 'the' cacti server, as you  
mentioned) with the user who runs cacti (the same that on you crontab  
job)

I'll try to create an example with dummy user/paths:

you login onto the cacti server machine with 'cactiuser', and the path  
to the folder where cacti creates the .rrd files is /cacti/graphs,  
being the folder where you want to export them /dummyfolder/

if you try

'cp /cacti/graphs/graph1.rrd /dummyfolder/'

the file is copied, or does it show an error?

*note* as I said I haven't used the export feature yet, so I'm just  
assuming it copies the desired .rrd files to a folder of your choice.  
If this isn't the modus operandis, just ignore my suggestion.

best regards,
-rm

Hi Ricardo,
thanks for your reply.
I assume you mean to login on the cacti server using the user that runs
cacti. At this point I'm afraid I'm lost. From where do I take the graphs to
copy them in the desired folder? I just have the rrd files generated by
cacti.
Something I'm missing or misunderstanding?
Thanks again

If you login with the cacti user, are you able to copy the graphs to  
the desired folder?

Hello,
I'm using Cacti (Version 0.8.7d) to monitor links on my enterprise network.
It works beautifully but I cannot figure out how to make graph export works.
No image is created at all in the specified folder while graphs are
generated and updated within the application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Graph Export settings*:
Export Method: Classic (local path)
Presentation Method: Classical Presentation
Tree Isolation: Single Tree Representation
Effective User Name: admin
Expand Tree Hosts: On
Thumbnail Settings: <default>
Export Directory (both local and ftp): /usr/cacti_graphs ([OK: DIR FOUND])
Local Scratch Directory (ftp only): <left empty>
Export timing: Classic (export every x times)
Export Every x Times: 3
Hourly at specified minutes: <left empty>
Daily at specified time: <left empty>
FTP Options: <left empty>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I set the export to work at single graph level not through graph
templates. [Use Per-Graph Value (Ignore this Value)]
- I cannot find any log instance related to any failing attempt to export a
graph
- Cacti runs on a Suse 10 distro with Apache (2.2.3) as a web server. MySql
version is 5.0.26
- folder /usr/cacti_graphs has been set to be written by everyone just in
case
- When I formerly tried to export to an ftp server Cacti was able to create
a folder called cacti-ftp-temp to temporary hosts the graphs but then no
graphs has been created. Now I'm going for a local export by the way.
- I had a look to v.0.8.7e Release Notes and didn't find anything related to
this issue, so I assume an upgrade won't help.
Can anybody light up my way? Is there anything I'm doing not correctly?
Would you need further information to understand the root cause?
Thanks in advance.
GP

What does the same file look like in the latest release of Cacti?

I forgot to put a link to it - here's what I mean:

Is it fixable? I don't mind doing the gruntwork. My goal isn't really
to just complain - i'd like to help out.

Hasan,

I would put a few versions alongside one another and move them in and out until the problem is at least isolated. Then it's up to you as to whether or not you want to peel back the onion further. The PHP Group would appreciate your feedback if you can isolate the leak.

The way I have done this in the past is to simply install the PHP versions (by using the *.zip file from php.net) into their own folders. Then, keep the php.ini file in the Windows directory. To switch out, stop Apache, rename the directories, say c:\Program Files\PHP to c:\Program Files\PHP.5.3.0 and c:\Program Files\PHP.5.1.6 to c:\Porgram Files\PHP and then restart Apache.

Hasan,

You might want to use SysInternals Process Explorer to see the Apache process in a bit more detail. It could be either a PHP or an Apache memory leak. It might simply be a PHP module with a memory leak. These can be a bit difficult to diagnose.

Did you find a fix for this? If not, are you running aggregate? If so, please keep in mind that Windows has significant limitations on string size to RRDtool, and that this might cause RRDtool to hang, and thus hang apache. Please provide an update.

Hello list,

Our cacti installation is running fine except for two hosts that stopped 
graphing traffic for some reason.
All other graphs from those hosts are working, the only ones not working 
are traffic related.
Cacti's version is 0.8.7d.



Sorry if I did not give enough info, I don't know what you guys need to 
know in order to help me.
I've tried some things I found on google/forums/mailings, like 
rebuilding pool cache, altering snmp.php (trim($string)) but no results.

Thank you in advance,

Subject: Re: [cacti-user] apache hangs on windows cacti server 


I recently upgrade my cacti from version 0.8.7a to 0.8.d7 and started noticing time to time that apahce is hanging. Has anybody seen this problem on windows enviroment? I upgraded my apache to version from 2.2.6 to 2.2.11 and it did not help. This is really impacting my users and I'd appreciate any help. 

These are the versions I currently have installed: 

OS: Windows 2003 (32 bit), SP2 
Cacti: 0.8.7d 
Spine: 0.8.7e 
Rrdtool: 1.2.25 
Php: 5.2.5 
Apache: 2.2.11 
Mysql: 5.0.45 

Best Regards, 

Hasan

I had aggregate graphs but I deleted them all. I still see the issue. Memory usage on apahche keeps rising and rising.

Thanks,

Hasan,

Did you find a fix for this? If not, are you running aggregate? If so, please keep in mind that Windows has significant limitations on string size to RRDtool, and that this might cause RRDtool to hang, and thus hang apache. Please provide an update.

Really?

It might be a side effect of us using docbook.

I've been wondering this for at least a year - are the extra wide
right margins by design?

Maybe whoever marked up the docs thought we needed 80% of the width to
write down our notes after we printed out the HTML cacti docs? Did the
creator recently take a speed reading class and figured it would be
more efficient to layout the field descriptions like a newspaper
article?

But seriously, am I the only one who is annoyed by this?

Hello:

Sorry for posting this again, but the mailing list 
stripped the attachment and I want to make sure you can see
the graph.

I created a graph using the aggregate plugin.

Everything looks great except the 95th pct line for the total
traffic.  As you can see from the sample image, it is obviously 
lower than total traffic line. Also, it is the exact same 
number as the 95th pct line for the first data set which is 
suspicious.

Is this a bug in the aggregate plugin?

Here is a link to a sample image:

Will your e-commerce site go offline if you have
a DB server failure, fiber cut, flood, fire, or other disaster?
If so, ask me about our geographically redundant database system.

I forgot the attachment.

Download the plugin; untar it to the plugins subfolder. Then re-visit the Plugin 
Management
