RRD File not created only with Cisco PIX

[jshanley]

Cacti CVS, downloaded today.
FreeBSD 5.3 / Sparc64.
PHP 4.3.9
MySQL 4.0.21
Pix OS 6.2(2)

All my other graphs are working, and were created correctly.

I have tried using both the "Cisco Router" template, and the "Generic SNMP-enabled host" template, removing the device and all graphs and data sources between attempts.

The addition of the PIX device seemed to go correctly.
The creation of the graph seemed to go correctly (standard message):

+ Created graph: Company-pix-ran-P - Traffic
+ Created graph: Company-pix-ran-P - Traffic - x.x.x.x (PIX Firewall ou)
+ Created graph: Company-pix-ran-P - Traffic - 10.0.0.1 (PIX Firewall in)
+ Created graph: Company-pix-ran-P - Traffic - PIX Firewall FA/3

After creating the device, creating the graphs seemed to go correctly as well. But, this is not the case - the RRD file was never created.

Graph debugging shows:

IF I run this command manually, it creates the RRD file. I'll watch it to see if it starts populating the manually created RRD file.

What I don't understand is why Cacti is not creating the RRD file, even though it is not displaying any error messages during creation.

This happens on a Cisco PIX when you are using both "SNMP & Ping" checks to ensure the host is up (at least in my case). Works fine now that I've switched back to just SNMP checks.

(console -> settings -> poller -> Downed Host Detection)

CVS not too stable. I am working on getting the host specific up/down completely working but not as of today. More work to do. The code is VERY alpha.

Here is where I am:
1) snmpv3 is not complete
2) host specific polling does not work
3) themes are not complete
4) multiple pollers are not complete - more database changes coming, be warned.

I may have the host specific stuff ready to test by the weekend. Need to implement in Cactid and cmd.php. Not too much work.

Enjoy the view.
