Well apparently the data queries weren't included

I've uploaded a new tar.gz file which has the data query exports (and which include the one-off graphs as dependencies), the 8x graphs as separate exports, and the needed script.

Import the XML files, copy the script to cacti/scripts/, add the data queries to the target device and you should be good.

The queries show up, but I'm getting this:

Okay I updated the archive again

1) use the "Import Templates" menu to import the XML files in the
templates directory

2) manually copy the XML files in the script_queries directory to
$cacti/resource/script_queries/

3) manualy copy the php scripts in the scripts directory to
$cacti/scripts/

I have tested lm_sensors on IBM x306. Some voltages and all fans are totaly incorrect.

It's on Gentoo Linux.

Basic emerge lm_sensors did the trick.
Support for all possible hardware monitoring chips was compiled as kernel modules. Also don't forget to compile I2C support too.

I believe that quite recent version of kernel and lm_sensors will work on other distros too.

I got some trouble importing cacti_graph_template_ucdnet_lmsensors_fan_sensors_8x.xml

This is the error I get:

Hi,
I have a problem with all (8x) sensors graph. (each simple graph are Ok)

For exemple, Fan Sensor :

You have an 8x Template but only three data sources ...

hello cool script !

i have a problem after importing the templates and doing everything in place as you mentioned in the readme

the verbose data querry shows for example

+ Running data query [12].
+ Found type = '4 '[script query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/home/dmd2www/public_html/cacti-0.8.6h/resource/script_queries/lmsensors_fan.xml'
+ XML file parsed ok.

+ Executing script query '/usr/bin/php -q /home/dmd2www/public_html/cacti-0.8.6h/scripts/netsnmp_lmsensors.php fan localhost, cacti, 2, , , 161, 500 query sensorDevice'

+ Found data query XML file at '/home/dmd2www/public_html/cacti-0.8.6h/resource/script_queries/lmsensors_fan.xml'

but the status shows : Success [0 Items, 0 Rows]

did i lost something ?

I'm running version "0.8.6c-7sarge3" (Debian)
I keep getting this message whenever I try to import templates:

Error: XML: Hash version does not exist.

I really need to monitor lm-sensors... my colo has heating problems and I want to show them facts.

Is there a way to get around this?

Thanks!

you need to upgrade your cacti installation to version cacti-0.8.6h then the import of the templates will work.
cheers

Ok now I am using 0.8.6h and i've copied the files again, and now i've managed to import all the templates, except for the 8x templates. I can't import the 8x templates, and i'm getting the same errors as Azoff is getting (Unmet dependencies while importing).

The simple graphs are working great now, I get all the data I need, but it would indeed be nice to have them consolidated into one graph.

Is there a solution for those dependencies?

Are the dependencies an issue of me not having all the data sources required by the graph? Or is it something else?

I'm a new Cacti user and a net-snmp lightweight. I've been spending the last two days banging my head against the wall, trying to figure out how to get this working. My apologies if this post is excessively large, I'm striving to be as detailed as possible.

For some reason I haven't been able to figure out, no RRD files are being generated when I try to get these graphs working. I'll limit my examples to the thermal sensors, but the same problem is affecting voltage and fan readings as well.

The server in question is running Gentoo. lm_sensors, net-snmp, and Cacti were all emerged in. Cacti version is 0.8.6h_p20060108-r2, lm_sensors version is 2.10.0, and net-snmp is 5.2.1.2-r1.

Cacti is polling snmp via the lo or eth0 interface. With either interface, the Cacti standard graphs in the Linux host template work, but the lmSensors graphs do not.

CLI lm_sensors works. Here's the snipped output of sensors:
