Cacti

ok i got nxlog to stop giving me errors but its not sending anything into cacti. I think i may understand the issue.. NXLog looks at the windows event logs, a txt file, or whatever input i want i to look at. I tell NXLog send that data to a file, or a syslog server, and configure that syslog server'...

idownloaded a portable syslog server. it happened to run on UDP port 514. i set that and put NXLog into UDP mode for 514. that stand alone syslog server is working and accepting. if i dont use that, i just send it to the cacti server (which is the same server im using the stand-alone syslog server o...

Seeing this in my log file (in fact i think most of the HMIB graphs have their counts wrong now for some reason) 2023-01-30 07:21:49 - SPINE: Poller[Main Poller] PID[441] PT[42950471040] Device[SERVER] HT[1] DS[SERVER - spoolsv.exe - Number Running] Graphs[SERVER - spoolsv.exe - Total Running] TT[27...

would tend to make sense.. now to figure out how to fix that.. hmmmm...

my last issue before i go to the weekend fun time LOL.. i have been testing hmib graphs and thold.. worked GREAT until just recently.. now i can get them to work, but the graph im using.. should show 1 .. running .. 0 not.. for some reason its showing 2 running .. 1 not.. ideas on resetting that so ...

looks like the interface graphs, are pointing to for it's data source is <path_cacti>/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml and that data source is set for Get SNMP Data (Indexed) the SNMP get mounted partitions for it's data source is pointing to <path_cacti>/resource/script_server/host_disk.xml i th...

Looks like CPU and DISK is now working since i changed the setting for HMIB.. odd tho as the cacti's graph for its own disk looks like "Classic" color scheme for graphs, but once I got HMIB set to 5min for disk and CPU, the graphs started working but the colors are different.. both servers...

i MAY have found something (btw.. it wasnt just remote windows machines, also had the issue on ESXi) i went to the HMIB setup in Settings and changed the storage and CPU from 4 hours to 5 minutes. Mind, you , it was 4 hours for the past few days\weeks.. and it just stopped.. i am now seeing the disk...

hey its all good.. we have those days right? LOL!

to add further mystery.. the cacti server can see its own disk and CPU.. i cant see remote machine's disk and CPU.. but i can see remote machines uptime, processes, NIC information, etc.. just CPU and Disk is fubared..

I put the device itself in debug mode (mangment\devices\devicename\click enable device debug) then i waited for the log to populate (filtering by the device IP) and what I got in the log is what I posted: (what steps exactly, did I not listen to?) 2023-01-27 07:00:49 - SPINE: Poller[Main Poller] PID...

looked at the debug on the graph itself .. saw this.. its only the CPU and Disk graphs that I am having issues with at the moment.

here is what i got in the log right after putting it in debug mode 2023-01-27 07:00:49 - SPINE: Poller[Main Poller] PID[1348] PT[42950488912] Device[SERVERNAME] HT[1] DS[SERVERNAME - Traffic - 172.16.16.16 - ethernet_32773] Graphs[SERVERNAME - Traffic - Ethernet0 2] TT[15969.25] SNMP: v2: 172.16.16....

thanks for that.. i re imported it.. but the disk graph is still not working, nor is the CPU.. it stopped working like 2 days ago.. when i edit the device, i can see that it can detect items for the disk\cpu.. i can create the graphs, but they're empty.. literally the disk says "0"..

i had everything working well.. and i decided to get cute and downloaded a template to go after our HP blade servers. dont ask me how.. but it seems that after i imported it, i lost the hard drive, memory and CPU graphing ability on windows hosts. im running cacti 1.2.23, any way i can get the defau...

i've noticed this at times when THOLD or a test script that's looking at the event log on a windows server runs, my cacti server logs this in the event log The description for Event ID 3 from source PHP-7.4.30 cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your loca...
