Cacti available disk...

websi · Guest

sorry for my english...
I've installed cacti and now, i've somme specific problem.

When i add some graph about "Available Disk Space", there is no record that is created. So, when i go to cacti directory, there isn't any file like "localhost_disk_free_1min.rrd" or something like this. So, i try to see in the mysql database and effectively , there is no record with this label.
I don't really know how does cacti work, but it seems that there is missing an option thath allow rrdtool to make a file like "disk-free.rrd" and permit cacti to make his graph.

HELP !!!

hmm.. that can have multiple causes.. here are a few..

I. your path to rrdtool is wrong...
=> check it within your settings (console, cacti-settings -> path)

II. you've got no job within /etc/crontab which starts cmd.php periodically
=> check /etc/crontab if there is an entry that starts the job

III. your file permissions are not correct..
=> check if your user (which you specified in crontab) has enough
rights to create, modify, read your $cacti-folder/rra directory..

VI. your host does not have the "df" utiility

V. your host does not have a harddisk..

are the other graphs working?

thank you!!!

So..
My rrdtool path, my crountab and my permission are good because i can make some other graph like memory or cpu usage.
I've verified that df work on my server and i'v some hdd (lol).

I don't know what to do...

ok , i've made a mistake...

I'va forgotten to check the right disk....

But i think that cacti should say "hey man, if you don't choose a hdd, how can i work?"
because, nothing was say about an error...

no?

Bye
