Script Queries important question

[leventkurt]

Hi there,

I wanted to create my own E1-Line script to learn how cacti script queries are working and fill my company's need for e1 graphs.

I'll write everthing down one-by-one to let you see what's really missing and find me a solution:

1- Created a basic data template, left in default and changed followings:
name: "e1 line data template"
data source name: "e1 line data source"
method: "get script data (indexed)"
internal source name: e1line

2- Created a basic graph template, dupped from "Windows - Logged in Users" graph template. Then I changed graph area sources into e1line data sources.

3- Created a data query with the following:
name: SNMP - E1
desc: SNMP - E1 Connections
xml: <path_cacti>/resource/script_queries/e1.xml
method: get script data (indexed)
associated new e1 graph template

4- Created XML file <path_cacti>/resource/script_queries/e1.xml

I retried all of the above and managed to list all E1 interfaces with a script (ss1.jpg)

But It doesn't create a rrd file (ss3.jpg)? if I copy the line from data source and create manually it doesnt update the file neither?

In the example cacti should send

Hi again, the problem still continuing:

1- Cacti did not create a rrd file for this script query associated graphs
2- If I create manually the rrd file, numbers stay in NAN status
3- I have a line,

First, you don't need the word "total" in your data template (the one with the circle around it).

Second, you should get the updated template.php from branches/0.8.7/lib/teplate.php SVN as it corrects a rather nasty bug when modifying data template. There is also another file, branches/0.8.7/utilities.php that should be updated.

Then, you should "Repopulate" your poller cache and look for entries in the Poller Cache with your script name. If you see them in there, that means they are being polled.
