Unfortunately, your log stops at the important step. The items before are from using the gui. I'm wondering, whether the cacti poller is running as root?

Run the poller once on a clean log file in DEBUG mode and grep for RRDCLEAN. That catches everything

Hi,
made also a debug on the rrdcleaner code: which function is responsible for deleting the files from hard disk? Where is the call of this function?
You mentioned that oen sould NOT use the page-scroll-function because the "poller_delete_table" will be deleted. This is very dangerous for user who are accustomed on the page-number selection on the top of the list.
The reinitialisation of the todo-list table should only be at the end of a poller cyle not at every use of the rrdcleaner plugin page.

I use the poller_bottom hook. The function is defined in setup.php

i got very suprprised after finding-out that rrdcleaner deletes unused rrd-files but leaves unused data-sources and graphs. That made a hudge mess i my cacti.
I wrote quick and dirty script which finds and removes unused(empty) data-sources and unavailable graphs.

Hi
by "unused data-sources", do you mean data sources associated to the "None" host ?

no, I mean data-sources associated with rrd files that have been deleted.

yup...just like that...
ps: make backup of cacti's database before just in case something goes wrong. It should display($debug=true) what data-sources and local_graph_id's were removed.

i had such an idea to write a small and simple plugin. but, it is my conviction that rrdcleaner should do that. So, maybe, instead, it would be better to implemet this small code to rrdcleaner itself?
Alternative would be tuning this thing a little bit and the puttingit to cactis "cli" folder.

I'd like to integrate this function into the next release. Due to pressing work that has to be completed for 088, I will tackle other issues first this weekend. If time (and my wife) permits, I will create a new rrdcleaner version, then.

I've got it fixed. But I want to wait 'til the new PIA 2.0 interface is out (read: documented) to make it work in clean 087b environments.
