 Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2006 9:27 pm Post subject: Cactid 0.8.6g Out |
 |
|
After a good bit of testing and community feedback, Cactid version 0.8.6g has been released in the wild. A big thanks to TheWitness and Steve Friedl from unixwiz.net for making this release possible.
Notable changes in this version include fixes to multiple SNMP OID handling, concurrent script server processes, MySQL 5.x support, and massive portability optimizations to the code.
Be sure to read the notice on the downloads page before upgrading, or certain graphs may stop collecting data!
The complete changelog:
| Code: | -bug#0000609: console "error" messages should go to stderr instead of stdout
-bug#0000618/0000613: correct invalid assignment of session.community in snmp.c
-bug#0000629: correct issues with invalid unknown reaults when reducing MAX OID get size
-bug: correct issue where spike prevention logic was not being activated properly
-bug: correct issue where host reindex was not operating for uptime goes backwards reindex method
-bug: if sysUptime is queried for a host, only do it once
-bug: certain SNMP string responses where not being handled properly due to net-snmp bug
-bug: increase the allowable size of the logfile entry
-bug: change behavior of availability so that if SNMP and ICMP/UDP are selected, only one has to succeed
-bug: cleaned up implementation of multi SNMP OID get error checking logic
-bug: don't attempt to allocate a zero item array when a host has no polling items
-bug: correct string values returning as blank in *nix environments
-bug: correct issue where invalid SNMP OID results would cascade to subseqent SNMP OID calls for a host
-optimization: change logging logic to cleanup code and add varadic formatting
-optimization: complete audit of code for portability complements of Steve @ http://www.unixwiz.net
-optimization: documentation, documentation, documentation...
-feature: added command line argument handling including database overrides complements of Steve @ http://www.unixwiz.net
-feature: added multiple script server process feature to current version
-feature: added support for MySQL 5.x
-feature: added more verbose MySQL DEBUG logic |

Hi Ian
running it with "--version" shows 0.8.6f :
| Code: | $ ./cactid --version
CACTID 0.8.6f Copyright 2002-2005 by The Cacti Group
Usage: cactid [options] [firstid lastid]
Options:
-h/--help Show this brief help listing
-f/--first=X Start polling with host X
-l/--last=X End polling with host X
-p/--poller=X Poller ID = X
-C/--conf=F Read Cactid configuration from file F
-O/--option=S:V Override DB settings 'set' with value 'V'
-R/--readonly This Cactid run is readonly with respect to the database
-S/--stdout Logging is performed to the standard output
-V/--verbosity=V Set logging verbosity to <V>
--snmponly Only do SNMP polling: no script stuff
Either both of --first/--last must be provided, or neither can be,
and in their absense, all hosts are processed.
Without the --conf parameter, cactid searches for its cactid.conf
file in the usual places.
Verbosity is one of NONE/LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH/DEBUG or 1..5
Runtime options are read from the 'settings' table in the Cacti
database, but they can be overridden with the --option=S:V
parameter.
Cactid is distributed under the Terms of the GNU General
Public License Version 2. (www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html)
For more information, see http://www.cacti.net |
Otherwise, it runs fine (on a new 0.8.6h + patches installation).
BTW : happy to see some new developpers and releases  |

Would it be of any use, to mention Clearing Poller Cache after tweaking all those scripts as advised by http://cacti.net/cactid_download.php? Suppose, this will be needed?

What about scripts given by | Code: | | unix_disk.xml: <script_path>perl |path_cacti|/scripts/query_unix_partitions.pl</script_path> |
without full path? Suppose, they will need update as well?

Ian et al,
I'm getting a make error under Solaris 8 - Any ideas?
| Code: | gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I./config -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include/libart-2.0 -I/usr/local/include/cgilib-0.5 -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -I/usr/local/include/net-snmp -I/usr/local/include/net-snmp/.. -I/usr/local/mysql/include -g -O2 -c `test -f 'nft_popen.c' || echo './'`nft_popen.c
nft_popen.c: In function `nft_pclose':
nft_popen.c:317: error: `SIGTERM' undeclared (first use in this function)
nft_popen.c:317: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
nft_popen.c:317: error: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [nft_popen.o] Error 1 |
configure ran fine with no errors - I saw this before while testing with Larry a while back, but I don't remember the solution.
Thanks!
Roddie |

Good idea. I have added a notice to the downloads page.

Edit nft_popen.c and add #include <signal.h> just after #include <unistd.h> and type "make"

Thanks, Steve - Some Solaris-hater in the IRC channel told me the same thing 
All is good now, let's just see it perform.

Does anyone know what the phpsvr is expecting at this point???
Oh, and my graphs stopped updating.... 
Update... Don't know if this might be of inportance but this is what I'm also getting in my logs over and over again..
| Code: | 01/14/2006 04:54:42 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] DEBUG: SQL Assoc: "select poller_id,end_time from poller_time where poller_id = 0"

|
If I run the queries from the command line I get.

Ian,
I guess you are the man for this - The cactid 0.8.6g tarball which is posted on the downloads page doesn't seem to have had autorun run on it ahead of packaging and is still reporting itself as version 0.8.6f after compilation.
Also, you might want to add the "#include <signal.h>" to nft_popen.c if you're going to re-release it.
Thanks,
Roddie |

Yes, someone pointed that out to me after the fact. I apologize for not getting that on the first try. If we do repackage it, I will make sure that both of those things are incorporated.

|

Hi
First :
Why cactid say "Version 0.8.6f starting" ?
D:\Programme\Cactideamon>D:\Programme\Cactideamon\cactid-0.8.6.g.exe
CACTID: Using cactid config file [cactid.conf]
CACTID: Version 0.8.6f starting
On Windows 2003
My problem ---->
In the log file:
01/20/2006 02:14:12 PM - CACTID: Poller[0] ERROR: SS[0] PHP Script Server communications lost.
I also use "PING - Advanced Ping v1.3" with script server PHP
I tried in input string to put:
<path_cacti>/scripts/ss_fping.php ss_fping <hostname> <attempts> <protocol> <port>
and also
D:/Programme/Cacti-NetworkMonitoring/scripts/ss_fping.php ss_fping <hostname> <attempts> <protocol> <port>
But I did not received datas for Advanced Ping
any idea? |
