cacti-user Mailing List for Cacti

Hi David,

That's funny actually.
Well the way I have my setup, is entering the following in /etc/crontab:

# Run cacti poller
*/1 * * * * cactiuser php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1


And everything works just fine, and actually makes sense :)
And it's running on a RH 5 machine.

I think the error message is pretty clear:

    ERROR chdir failed (/dev/null): Not a directory

That is, cron will try to change directory to the user's home directory
before running the script, and if the user's home directory is missing or
broken, it won't run it.

Hi Muhammad,

Thanks for the reply, I think I found the issue :d

I have change nginx's directory from /dev/null to /home/nginx, and seems 
work after rebooting the machine.
But, I still can't explain why user that on /dev/null can't run crontab :d.

Thank you..

Could you check if /dev/null already exists?
If yes (and it should be anyway), try to restart your crond via
*/etc/init.d/crond
restart*

I know the above may not be helpful, but doesn't hurt to give it a try.

Dear All,

Few days ago, I have post my problem about database corrupt, so I need 
to build new cacti as a backup. During the cacti installation I have a 
problem with crontab setting, it's probably doesn't recognize with cacti 
issue but I hope someone to help me. Below is details of cacti 
configuration in my machine:

CentOS 6 64bit
cacti 0.8.7g
spine 0.8.7.g
MySQL 5.1.59
PHP 5.3.8
Nginx 1.0.8
rrdtool 1.4.5
net-snmp 5.7.1

I got the following error from crontab logs:

Oct 28 18:43:01 jklg2 CROND[5676]: (CRON) ERROR chdir failed 
(/dev/null): Not a directory
Oct 28 18:44:01 jklg2 CROND[5699]: (CRON) ERROR chdir failed

Oct 28 18:49:01 jklg2 CROND[5734]: (CRON) ERROR chdir failed

My crontab for cacti:

$ sudo crontab -u nginx -l
*/1 * * * * /usr/local/php/bin/php /home/n3tm0n/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

Dear All,

My cacti has been running almost 3 months without any issue, but today I 
got serious problem with MySQL database, 80% off database record was 
corrupted and marked as crash it so terrible. I'm already try to recover 
using myisamchk but can't fix it.

I have about 300 hosts, 1500 graph records in my cacti and I lost them 
all. Below is detail of my cacti configuration:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300  @ 2.50GHz
RAM: 4GB
HDD: Sata II 500GB

OS: CentOS 6 x86 64
Cacti 0.8.7g
Spine 0.8.7g
rrdtool 1.4.5
MySQL 5.1.58
PHP 5.3.8
Nginx 1.0.8
Net-SNMP 5.5

All of softwares in above installed and compile from source tarball.
Any solutions or suggestions to this issue?

Ola amigos,

alguem sabe como implentar um call back no servidor asterisk

First, take yourself out of dev debug, you are not a developer.  Goto low.   
Then post again your log.

Subject: [cacti-user] poller doesn't run

Hi

  I've inherited 2 cacti systems (both 0.8.7f, running on RHEL 5.5),
one is testing environment and one is production. . Both systems have
essentially the same configuration with the difference that the
testing environment is a scaled down (less systems) than the
production environment.

  I have a problem in the testing environment cacti: graphs have gaps
in them. What I've noticed (from setting the logs to developer deubug
level) was that while cacti GUI poller was set to poll every 5
minutes, cron was set to run poller.php every 2 minutes causing the
log to output:

10/13/2011 05:35:02 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] NOTE: Poller Int: '300',
Cron Int: '300', Time Since Last: '60', Max Runtime '298', Poller
Runs: '1'
10/13/2011 05:35:02 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] NOTE: Cron is configured to
run too often!  The Poller Interval is '300' seconds, with a minimum
Cron period of '300' seconds, but only 60 seconds have passed since
the poller last ran.

I fixed cron to run poller.php every 5 minutes to avoid this problem,
but now even though poller.php runs every 5 minutes cacti.log keeps
complaining that cron is misconfigured and reports that the last time
between runs was 60, 124, 181, 1 seconds (see log below). During this
time I didn't access cacti or run poller.php manually at all...

I have a parallel window in which I have a script that loops (every 1
second) and does a ps -ef |grep php to catch any PHP processes

Hi

  I've inherited 2 cacti systems (both 0.8.7f, running on RHEL 5.5),
one is testing environment and one is production. . Both systems have
essentially the same configuration with the difference that the
testing environment is a scaled down (less systems) than the
production environment.

  I have a problem in the testing environment cacti: graphs have gaps
in them. What I've noticed (from setting the logs to developer deubug
level) was that while cacti GUI poller was set to poll every 5
minutes, cron was set to run poller.php every 2 minutes causing the
log to output:

10/13/2011 05:35:02 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] NOTE: Poller Int: '300',
Cron Int: '300', Time Since Last: '60', Max Runtime '298', Poller
Runs: '1'
10/13/2011 05:35:02 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] NOTE: Cron is configured to
run too often!  The Poller Interval is '300' seconds, with a minimum
Cron period of '300' seconds, but only 60 seconds have passed since
the poller last ran.

I fixed cron to run poller.php every 5 minutes to avoid this problem,
but now even though poller.php runs every 5 minutes cacti.log keeps
complaining that cron is misconfigured and reports that the last time
between runs was 60, 124, 181, 1 seconds (see log below). During this
time I didn't access cacti or run poller.php manually at all...

I prefer using
http://hans.fugal.net/blog/2009/01/10/sensible-graphs-with-cacti/ with linux
systems. The HRstorage descriptor graphs are kinda useless because VFS cache
memory is not distinguished so graphs show 100% memory used all the time.
The full CPU and full Memory usage graphs are superior to the default ones.
The default CPU does not cover IOwait for example ( or several other kernel
states)

If your system supports hrStorageTable, then it's in there. Find a template for 
it in our central template repository at http://docs.cacti.net

Perhaps the problem is this: if you go to Graph Trees, select Add, and
select Tree Item Type as "Host", then you get all the graphs for that device
in a preset order.

However, I think you could instead make a subtree for that device and then
add graphs to it in any order you like.  (This is a bit tedious though, and
you have to remember to add new graphs as you create them)

Hi All,


Is there any template can monitor the "Real Memory"?
mean the value after "-/+ buffers/cache:" when we type "free -m" on a Linux
machine,

$ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          1127       1119          8          0        108        634
-/+ buffers/cache:        *376 *       *750*
Swap:         2047          0       2047


Any suggestion will be appreciated,thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Is it possible to right click a graph, choose "Save image as" and it
automatically assigns the graphs title as the file name, instead of
graph_image.png?

Thanks in advance...

I guess that I was not too clear
For example: I have a Cacti making graphs of 53 devices. Let's say that 
a Router Device have 17 graphs. Of course one of these graphs are CPU 
consummation, the others graphs are bandwidth consummation. I wish to 
standardize CPUs graphs first, then all others graphs. So I need to 
change the order from the graphs from a device. NOT the order from a 
device in the tree.

 gentlemen,

cacti version: 8.7g

I installed the plugin cclient
http://www.rokeblog.com/
I run the client, but when I do a query result, empty:

Trafico en Consumed JULY
Client Paul Pacifico
ETH Server -> FIREWALL
100 GB Limit
Traffic expend 0 GB
Cost € 5.50 GB
Price paid to € 0

Anyone have any idea what might be happening?

Hi Joao,

Sure, just go to Console tab --> Management --> Graph Trees. Then select the
graph tree on which your graph is shown, and press the UP arrow for the
graph you wanna show on top, just keep moving it up.

Folks, what's up?

At my Cacti station the CPU consummation graphs are the last place. It 
means that I need to navigate trough a lot of pages just to show the CPU 
graph.  So, I was wondering if is possible to bring the CPU Graphs to 
the first page.

In other words my questions is: Can I change the order that graphs are 
shown ?

Implement the feature.
do a "diff -Nabur between new and original file"
tar.gz all that and post them
