Came into work this morning and our primary cricket server was down so I
turned on the backup and it is failing to load graphs, looks to be a
collector problem as I get this error in the logs for everything:

 

Could not find a datafile for xxxxxxxxx

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Brandon,

Your setup isn't real clear.  For generic troubleshooting I'd:

1) Check the cricket log directory for errors on the collection set
2) run the collector manually and verify if there are any errors.  If
there are not, your graphs should show up immediately
3) If the collector runs, try running the command you have listed in cron
and see if it generates errors
4) check http logs (apache, IIS, etc) for errors on why graphs are not

If you are FTPing the data, how is cricket collecting and entering the

cricket will render the graphs based on data within the rra.

Hello, I am using Cricket to graph Cable modems, I have updated the cron
table and am showing that it is in use when I use the crontab -l command. I
have also uploaded the files through FTP into the cricket server. My graphs
are not displaying yet for the new modems I have entered. Am I missing a
command or reboot or something to get these to start graphing? Any help is
appreciated.

Just a follow up here. While working on getting mtargets working (still not
sure if it's just me using it incorrectly...) I found another part of
grapher.cgi that is handling an undefined 'view' correctly (see quoted
email below). It looks like this is what needs to happen to line 233:

             if (defined($view)) {
                 $targRef->{'auto-view'} = $view;
             }

Refer to line 1363 for where I saw how this was being handled correctly
elsewhere.

Cricket on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion

Andrew Davidoff — 2012-11-05T01:52:10

Hi,

I just got cricket working on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and figured I should
share. I think what I did was reasonable, but I'm open to criticism.

Before I get into the specifics of the install, I should note that I ran
into one issue related to targetTypes that don't contain a "view"
dictionary. Whether this is my fault or a bug, I am not sure.

On line 233 of grapher.cgi we have this:

my($view) = lc $gQ->param('view');

Following that assignment, various statements check to see if $view is
defined. It appears as though "lc" is returning an empty string (i.e. $view
is defined) in the case of $gQ->param('view') being undefined, which breaks
display of targets that aren't views. I am currently only using a single
target that does use a targetType that contains a view dictionary, so I
have essentially worked around this (for now).

And here's what I did to get cricket running on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Oh, I just remembered, the links to SNMP_Session and rrdtool in the
beginner guide are both out of date.

Hello John,

Your problem is simply that genDevConfig is creating an invalid configuration.

It is identifying the wireless interfaces as if they were ethernet interfaces, which they arent!

They need to be identified as wireless interfaces and the correct target type applied.

The target type for wireless interfaces uses:

     ### OIDS For Aironet Wireless Access Point

     OidClientsAssociated                   = .1.3.6.1.4.1.522.3.12.1.8

Hello John,

Apart from the few debug statements bugging out on unescaped or empty 
values, it should work as advertised.

I would suggest running Cricket with an info or debug log level. You 
will see what the issue is.

I would also suggest making sure the basics work: Like your community 
string in the config tree.
You can also check what your server is sending and receiving using 
Wireshark, if you are more familiar with that. You will see if the snmp 
requests just timeout or return an error.

If they timeout, it is a community string issue. ;-)

Cheers,

Francois

Hi List,
i ported the mysql-snmp cacti prefs to cricket.
Could you please tell me, how to contribute the defaults file. (Also a
sample client config as well).
These are 37 views with 150 datapoints.
All you need is to install the mysql-snmp package. (Available from the
contributer of the package as debian stype package).

Rgds.

Optional, i can also post this via mailinglist, if you will.

Re: Monitor Thresholds not working

Merrett Willett — 2012-04-09T12:08:40

I'm sure there are bugs somewhere, but they work fine if implemented
correctly.  Are you modifying the value collected in the monitor for the
correct data source that is being collected for the target?  Below are
some examples from by Defaults and Targets files.  You should also run a
debug collector to validate the monitors and example (add "-logLevel
debug" to the end of the collector command)


Target examples:

target router01
    target-type=Cisco-Router
    short-desc  =   "router01"
    monitor-thresholds = "%cpu-mem%"


target GigabitEthernet8_0_0
        interface-name      =  GigabitEthernet8/0/0
        short-desc          =  "router01 - G8/0/0"
        monitor-thresholds  =  "%internet%"



Monitor statements from Defaults file:
internet = 
"ifHCInOctets : value : n : %internet-high% : MAIL : Mail  : %email_list%,
ifHCOutOctets : value : n : %internet-high% : MAIL : Mail : %email_list%,
ifInErrors  : quotient : %inerrpct%  : : ifInUcastPackets  : 0 : MAIL :
Mail  : %email_list%,
ifOutErrors :

I have cricket 1.0.5 and for some reason I can only get a single data
source to work with thresholds. And to make it even more weird it's a
different data source on every target.

Any know bugs?? help would be appreciated??

Re: Failed to draw graph - check your server's error log for details - Help

Oliver Landsmann — 2012-01-25T18:53:27

Hi Ash,

Lets look at the first error, the grapher is trying to look for:
/home/cricket/cricket/cricket-config/../cricket-data//load-balance/bigip2.globalcenter.net.au/internal_vlan.rrd 

so unless you have a 
/home/cricket/cricket/cricket-data/load-balance/bigip2.globalcenter.net.au 
directory the "dataDir" is probably setup wrong in the Defaults files of 
the load-balance config directory.

For example

Target    --default--
     dataDir             = /var/lib/cricket/%auto-target-path%
     rrd-datafile        = %dataDir%/%auto-target-name%.rrd

in that case the grapher is going to look for the rrd files in 
/var/lib/cricket/what_ever_you_subdir_is_called_in_the_config_dir

hope that might get you a bit further

Ashlen Rohde — 2012-01-25T06:35:56

Hi Cricket Users,

I have been tasked with rebuilding a server that was running cricket as the old hardware is out of support.

The original server was running Solaris 10 sparc.

I have rebuilt it with RHEL 6 x86_64.

I copied all the old cricket config over to the new server once it was built and got cricket up and running.
I applied the patch to make it support 64 bit.

A lot of the devices still display graphs so I know that it is working to a certain extent.

Since adding a new device with genRtrConfig it appeared to generate the targets file ok.

However, when I open the ports on that device via crickets it gives the error "Failed to draw graph - check your server's error log for details"

The following error is found in my apache error_log after attempting to view the graph page for that device.

NAME
       rrdoutliers.pl: A program to remove outliers from a RRD file

USAGE
       rrdoutliers.pl -in <infile> [-out <outfile>]
                      [-alpha <alpha>] [-passes <n>] [-printdata]
                      [-rra <rra:ds[[:attr=val]...]>]
                      [-rra <rra:ds[[:attr=val]...]>]

DESCRIPTION
       This programs removes outliers from a RRD file using Grubbs test to
       detect them and remove or modify them.  The Grubb test calculates G,
       the maximum absolute deviation between a data point and the mean
of the
       data set normalized by the standard deviation of the data set. 
If this
       value is greater that a critical value of G, the point is
considered an
       outlier and removed or modified. This process is repeated until no
       outliers remain or some arbitrary limit is reached. The critical
value
       of G is calculated
