This is a new problem. It started happening prior to 6am today. All graphs stopped working, and my root email on the box is full of errors like this:

Subject: Cron <cacti@monitor2> php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/bash>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin>
X-Cron-Env: <MAILTO=root>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=cacti>
X-Cron-Env: <USER=cacti>

/bin/bash: line 1: 3313 File size limit exceededphp /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php >/dev/null 2>&1

What on earth is causing this? Nothing has changed on the server. I hadn't added any new hosts to Cacti for several days prior to this problem.

Any help ASAP appreciated, as no hosts are being graphed at this point.

Someone had turned full log debugging on without bothering to tell anyone. Log had filled up to 2gb filesize.

Opps!!

You should setup a logrot job to manage it's size if you want logging that high...

I experience the same problem when I try to run cactid

[root@cacti cactid]# ./cactid
CACTID: Using cactid config file [cactid.conf]
CACTID: Non Window envrionment, running as root, ICMP Ping available
CACTID: Version 0.8.6d starting
File size limit exceeded

Since yesterday, my cacti can't poll at all.
How can I solve this problem? If I must make the debug off, how to do that?

Thank you.

Well, check the size of you cacti.log and well, delete it. It's to large.

Of course, you know that you are supposed to be running "php poller.php". You will likely have to run the following to clean up your mysql database:

mysql -u root -p cacti
> truncate table poller_output;
> quit

File size limit exceededphp /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php
if the solution is these:

mysql -u root -p cacti
> truncate table poller_output;
> quit

the cuestion about this solucion is:

how i can change in the configuration to prevent or correct it automatically this event.??


my apologies for my english

say hello from Colombia

This error should not occur on latest cacti 087b; poller_output is truncated prior to any new polling cycle. Please confirm
Reinhard

The solution for this incident is: clear the cacti.log al last...!
some body knows where is i can configure the size of the cacti.log?
thanks!!

This is not yet supported. You may find http://docs.cacti.net/node/435 useful until then.

Hi

I've just started seeing this also, I've checked the size of cacti.log and it's nowhere near the 2Gb limit.

I've run the following



And this doesn't find any files close to 2Gb

Anyone have any ideas what else could be causing the message?

Scratch that.... Just re-run the find command and did find a 2Gb file.... php_log. Deleted that and the messages have stopped.

Why does the poller crash when it can't write to the log, anyway?
