cacti-user Mailing List for Cacti

Hi All,

Well finally I have managed to get the windows version working (well sort 
of!).
I find that it was missing many options that the CactiEZ version has that 
we are currently testing.
We would like to have at least some of these options available on the 
windows version.
I am assuming that they are "Addins" but there is no option for this on 
the windows version of have I missed something?
How can I get the same functionality for the windows version?

Regards Ian

Hi,

We are using Cacti 0.8.7e version & installed on Windows xp machine.

We are facing an issue that Graphs are not getting generated.Its giving
error.

We have attached the error.

Please help us out to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Likely you damaged your Graph Template then.  You should take a closer 
look at it.  So, data is likely still being collected.  You should be 
able to repair your template.  The key is understanding RRDtool syntax.

Hi Gandalf,

Thanks for the response.
I had already tried this with the help of Andi.
It would actually appear to have been an Apache config issue extra lines 
were needed.
Although I still do not have it working and I have no useful errors I am 
now suspecting that I may have an MySQL problem. I will have to do some 
more tests as I now get a 404 error.

So you should do what the message tells you.
This is a php issue.
php.ini has date.timezone config option. Define this as required for your
timezone and restart httpd afterwards.

Thanks Andi,

I added the line:-
[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = GMT0

I tried both GMT and GMT0

so I guess that the format is wrong as it made not difference.

You have to configure the time zone of your PHP installation. Edit PHP.ini 
and search for "date.timezone". After that restart your Apache.

Hi,

Having sorted the MySQL issue I now have the following error when trying
to connect to Cacti by using "http://localhost/cacti/index.php" (I had to
specify the index.php as I put in an index.html file to test).

What have I missed?
Again I am not experienced with Apache & PHP etc so need to keep it simple
for this "Dummy".

Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the
system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone

of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely
misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/London' for
'1.0/DST' instead in C:\Program Files\Apache Software

Hi Adams,

Hi,

It may not be relevant. But i'd like to share with you this experience 
and hope to be part of the help in case, you have run into the same problem.

Recently, I did an installation of Cacti (cacti-0.8.7g-2) on an x64 
machine with CentOS 5.6. I changed the poller from cmd.php to spine and 
I happened to install the i386 cacti-spine package instead of the x64 
cacti-spine package. Cacti log produced a lot of the error message "SNMP 
timed out" to some devices/hosts. After I removed the i386 package and 
installed the right x64 package, the error message was gone and 
everything has been working as expected till now.


Thanks,
Khem

Hi Larry,

Thanks for your response.
The version of Cacti is "cacti-0.8.7g.zip"
I will try making the changes and see what happens.

Yes, but plenty of other devices (of the same type) are not giving me these
problems. 

I have raised the SNMP timeout from 500ms to 1000ms, 5000ms and 10000ms, and
have also tried lowering max OIDs, as stated in my original e-mail, I
decremented to 2.
My SNMP retry count is 3. 

This particular device that I've applied these settings to has an average
ICMP latency of 45ms. I can constantly snmpwalk (from the server Cacti is
running on) and ping the device, with no interruption to my ping or snmpwalk
- However, Cacti will log a timeout. 

It may be worthwhile mentioning, that on the actual device configuration
page, the SNMP Information is showing the system, uptime, hostname, location
and contact (the values we want it to).. Obviously, SNMP is working between
Cacti and my suspect host. 

The system time is accurate, the uptime is incrementing every poll run.
Cacti would have to execute an SNMP poll to obtain this information. If it
is able to poll this information, I have to ask why, is my events log filled
with SNMP timeout notifications for this host?

Matthew, 

This is why the MAX_OID's is configurable by device. You will have to determine the optimal setting between timeouts and MAX_OID's. Generally embedded devices have less capabilities and can not return a very large number, where big iron can handle as high as say 60.

Subject: [cacti-user] Cacti + SNMP Time out 

Hi All, 

I am wondering what considerations need to be made when using Cacti to poll 
Ubiquiti devices. 

I have a number of devices filling my event logs with SNMP timeouts. After 
troubleshooting, I found that it was due to the SNMP request buffer 
rejecting any number of OIDs aggregated in a single request that are above 
2. 

This device in question is a Bullet2, running firmware version 3.6. 

This was verified by lowering the "Maximum OID's Per Get Request" value to 
2, and incrementing. With this value set to 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, (I 
tried up to 11, but I logically assume from this it will also reject any 
number greater than 11). 

See below logs. 

5.15PM - Set to 11 max OIDs 
5.20PM - Timeout. 
5.20PM - Set to 10 max OIDs 
5.26PM - Timeout. 
5.26PM - Set to 5 max OIDs 
07/08/2011 05:31:37 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] Host[3400] TH[1] DS[35344] 
WARNING: SNMP timeout detected [500 ms], ignoring host '10.10.128.11' 
5.32PM - Max OIDs set to 4 
07/08/2011 05:37:14 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] Host[3400] TH[1] DS[35341] 
WARNING: SNMP timeout detected [500 ms], ignoring host '10.10.128.11' 
5.38PM - Max OID set to 3 
07/08/2011 05:46:03 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] Host[3400] TH[1] DS[35342] 
WARNING: SNMP timeout detected [500 ms], ignoring host '10.10.128.11' 
5.46PM - Set Max OIDs to 2. Monitored for 1 hour, no SNMP timeouts. 

Much to my horror, upon realizing that this morning, the SNMP logs are again 
filled with SNMP timeouts. I have lowered the Maximum OIDs value from 2 to 
1, and the SNMP timeouts have again stopped. Why did the SNMP timeouts stop 
with 2 for so long, and then resume? 

07/12/2011 08:00:47 AM - SPINE: Poller[0] Host[3400] TH[1] DS[35350] 
WARNING: SNMP timeout detected [500 ms], ignoring host '10.10.128.11' 

Can anyone tell me how or what I should be doing to probe these devices to 
see what the SNMP buffer is like? Is there a way to see a maximum number of 
OIDs a particular device is capable of? Can this be changed? Polling 1 OID 
for each of my hosts will effectively increase traffic, so is not an ideal 
solution. 

-- 

As an additional question, can somebody tell me how these OIDs are pulled? I 
envisioned them to be aggregated into a single SNMPBulkGet request, however 
as you can see below, this is not the case. 

[templar@sandcastle ~]$ snmpbulkget -c ubnt -v 1 10.10.128.11 
snmpbulkget: Cannot send V2 PDU on V1 session

Ryan, 

The question is, what commands provide this information? If there is a Linux command that returns this information, you have a few options: 

1) Use ssh with a key to poll the server. 
2) Extend the snmp agent to cough up this information. It's not difficult and google will provide lot's of source information. 
3) Request the net-snmp team to extend the default agent for this.

Hi,

I am trying to install Cacti of windows and following the instructions as 
defined in the install_windows.html file.
I have successfully got to the point of installing MySQL 5.5 and here I am 
having problems.


1.      Import the default Cacti database: 
shell> mysql --user=root --password cacti < 
c:\apache2\htdocs\cacti\cacti.sql
This produces:-

ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 5: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check 
the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right 
syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 6

Knowing nothing about databases and SQL I do not know how to resolve this 
issue.
Can you help?

Regards Ian

Hi Robert,

 

Thank you for the reply. I have the SNMP Timeout value set globally for all
devices at 500ms. I am operating a wireless fixed-point network, so the
polling needs to be more intensive. However, I do not think this is the
problem.

As you can see from these recent results, there was a timeout at 9.20 and
9.25. 

 

At 9.20, I began an snmpwalk (and reissued the command a number of times so
it constantly ran) from the *nix box that Cacti is running on. 

 

I also began a ping to this device out in the field from our office. No ICMP
packetloss, no SNMP loss either. However, Cacti still repots an SNMP
timeout. 

 

Regards,

Matthew,

 

Have you tried adjusting the snmp timeout value? I have mine set at 1500m
globally and on some devices have had to increase this as high as 2500m.

Does anyone have success monitoring shared memory with cacti? I'm interested
in this because Oracle databases use it, and it isn't something that is
polled by the existing memory queries I've tried.

Hi team,
       We are using cacti as primary monitoring tool in our environment.
Suddenly we found that memory (user space)  graph is missing for all the
nodes. I have tried restarting gmond service on cacti server  but no luck.
please let me know which settings has to be verified. Attached screen shot
for your reference. please let me know if need more details.

OS : *AIX  5300-11-02-1007*
ganglia-gmond : *3.0.4-1*

Thanks,
Syed.

Hi All,

I am wondering what considerations need to be made when using Cacti to poll
Ubiquiti devices.

I have a number of devices filling my event logs with SNMP timeouts. After
troubleshooting, I found that it was due to the SNMP request buffer
rejecting any number of OIDs aggregated in a single request that are above
2. 

This device in question is a Bullet2, running firmware version 3.6. 

This was verified by lowering the "Maximum OID's Per Get Request" value to
2, and incrementing. With this value set to 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, (I
tried up to 11, but I logically assume from this it will also reject any
number greater than 11). 

See below logs.

5.15PM - Set to 11 max OIDs
5.20PM - Timeout.
5.20PM - Set to 10 max OIDs
5.26PM - Timeout.
5.26PM - Set to 5 max OIDs
07/08/2011 05:31:37 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] Host[3400] TH[1] DS[35344]
WARNING: SNMP timeout detected [500 ms], ignoring host '10.10.128.11' 
5.32PM - Max OIDs set to 4
07/08/2011 05:37:14 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] Host[3400] TH[1] DS[35341]
WARNING: SNMP timeout detected [500 ms], ignoring host '10.10.128.11' 
5.38PM - Max OID set to 3
07/08/2011 05:46:03 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] Host[3400] TH[1] DS[35342]
WARNING: SNMP timeout detected [500 ms], ignoring host '10.10.128.11' 
5.46PM - Set Max OIDs to 2. Monitored for 1 hour, no SNMP timeouts. 

Much to my horror, upon realizing that this morning, the SNMP logs are again
filled with SNMP timeouts. I have lowered the Maximum OIDs value from 2 to
1, and the SNMP timeouts have again stopped. Why did the SNMP timeouts stop
with 2 for so long, and then resume? 

07/12/2011 08:00:47 AM - SPINE: Poller[0] Host[3400] TH[1] DS[35350]
WARNING: SNMP timeout detected [500 ms], ignoring host '10.10.128.11'

Can anyone tell me how or what I should be doing to probe these devices to
see what the SNMP buffer is like? Is there a way to see a maximum number of
OIDs a particular device is capable of? Can this be changed? Polling 1 OID
for each of my hosts will effectively increase traffic, so is not an ideal
solution.

-- 

As an additional question, can somebody tell me how these OIDs are pulled? I
envisioned them to be aggregated into a single SNMPBulkGet request, however
as you can see below, this is not the case.

[templar@sandcastle ~]$ snmpbulkget -c ubnt -v 1 10.10.128.11
snmpbulkget: Cannot send V2 PDU on V1 session
