Polling Statistics cacti 0.8.6g based (mysql)

gandalf · The Templates (v 0.1, date 2005-09-11)

To all cacti fans:
cacti now stores some statistics in mysql table "settings", key stats_poller. So it is possible to get those data without log file parsing. The entry looks like

lvm,

Did you know that I am now storing this information in the Settings Table: Stats, Export and Recache

EDIT: Ah, you noticed

TheWitness,

well, if it comes to Export and Recache, it should be possible to implement those based on this one. Is it of interest? If required, I'll look forward to implement that.

Excellent work

I agree with you, it would be even better to have 2 graphs (processes, threads and hosts/processes usually have lower values).

The only issue with that is that those activities can take over 5 minutes. Threfore, it is not accurate to graph them without additional changes to the output processing. I wish I had thought of this when writing the darn thingy. It's not a big deal, but I am really interested in those fire effects!

Hi lvm

your template works fine on my test system, but not on the production server. I get only the poller runtime on the graph, everything else shows as '0'.

I can run the script by hand :

Yep, I have.
Had the very same issue with another php server scrip: the ping script. In both cases, only the first output parm is updated. This issue pertains to the poller when running cactid. If you switch to cmd.php, it's gone.
Of course, this is not an option for a production system. I posted my issue in the fping thread. But no clue up to the moment.
Perhaps it's time for a new thread?

Hi lvm

I've modified your data input method like this :
- Input Type = "Script/Command"
- Input String = "php <path_cacti>/scripts/ss_poller.php"

The graphs works fine then.

Wow, very well. Will check this tomorrow (just don't have any cacti system in here). There is a new thread for that problem; will see...

I'm trying this on Cacti 0.8.6h (Win2k) with php 4.4.1.

Everything imported ok, and if I run the script from the command line on the Cacti server, it returns all data ok. Because I'm running php 4.4.1, I have to suppress the HTTP headers using;

php -q <path cacti>/scripts/ss_poller.php ss_poller

Trouble is, whenever I run this in Cacti as a Script Command or Script server, I get no response. The logfile says;

01/23/2006 12:00:24 PM - PHPSVR: Poller[0] WARNING: Function does not exist
01/23/2006 12:00:24 PM - PHPSVR: Poller[0] WARNING: PHP Script File to be included, does not exist

I've not using Cactid by the way, just normal CMD.

Oh yeh, anyone know how to permanently turn off the HTTP headers in PHP 4.4.1??? Maybe something in the INI file?

Any ideas?
