Hi,

do you perhaps now have the time to describe the feature?

In the past this was your statement to the problem:

I am using this host template to graph an cisco catalyst 6500.

The problem i face is that i cant graph the traffic for vlans. (i get zero values)

Anyone else facing this problem?

xenonserge,
i´ve had a problem with your script.

Basically, it didn´t report any data to Cacti.

# cactid -f 80 -l 81 --verbosity=4 -R -S

CACTID: Using cactid config file [/etc/cactid.conf]
CACTID: Version 0.8.6f starting
Host[80] SNMP Result: Host responded to SNMP

Host[80] ERROR: Empty result [hostA]: '/usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/cacti/scripts/query_interface_traffic_catos.php hostA "communityA" 2 161 500 "" "" get ifInOctets 10'

Host[80] DS[3641] WARNING: Result from SCRIPT not valid. Partial Result: ...

Host[80] DS[3641] SCRIPT: /usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/cacti/scripts/query_interface_traffic_catos.php hostA "communityA" 2 161 500 "" "" get ifInOctets 10, output: U

It seems i´ve got a problem with double quotes at community string (I´ve checked the device options at cacti´s web and the community has no quotes). I don´t know why nobody else have had it.

php script "query_interface_traffic_catos.php" calls cacti_snmp_get function and pass the $community variable including doble quotes so cacti_snmp_get returns U error code.

WORKAROUND

query_interface_traffic_catos.php

174 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------
175 }elseif ($cmd == "get") {
176 print (cacti_snmp_get($hostname, $snmp_community, $oids[$query_field] .
177 ".$query_index", $snmp_version, $snmp_user, $snmp_pw,
178 $snmp_port, $snmp_timeout, $snmp_retries));
179
180 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------

You must insert the next line:

174 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------
175 }elseif ($cmd == "get") {
176 $snmp_community=str_replace("\"","",$snmp_community);
177 print (cacti_snmp_get($hostname, $snmp_community, $oids[$query_field] .
178 ".$query_index", $snmp_version, $snmp_user, $snmp_pw,
179 $snmp_port, $snmp_timeout, $snmp_retries));
180
181 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this help you.

Just some quick changes for this script to work with cacti 0.8.7a version:

Hi, I am getting this error:

SPINE: Poller[0] Host[13] ERROR: Empty result [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: 'c:\php\php.exe -q C:\apache2\htdocs\cacti\scripts\query_interface_traffic_catos.php xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx "public" 2 161 500 "" "" get ifInOctets 12'

I am using Cacti 0.8.7a and Spine 0.8.7a and php 5.2.5. I am using the latest query_interface_traffic_catos.php file to accomodate the changes in 0.8.7a also.

Any idea what that error means.

Still trying to solve my issue with this script. The error states an empty result from the command

I have a fresh install of cacti and followed the instructions above but something fails when I create a new graph.

I attempt to create a 95th percentile graph but the Inbound and Outbound data sources are empty.

I also get this:

I'm getting the same problem, an RRD file is not created. Apart from 1-minute polling, this is a vanilla install of 0.8.7a. No plugins. No other scripts installed. I don't know where to start with debugging this.

The initial graph creation dialogue pulls back the correct data from the switch (4006) including the port descriptions, but after selecting the interfaces to graph, no files are created:

RRDTool Says:

ERROR: opening '/var/www/htdocs/cacti-0.8.7a/rra/myswitch1_traffic_in_204.rrd': No such file or directory

There are no errors showing in the log file.
