Debug graph input value using PHP script server

Question & Answer


Question

How to check the input value of a graph using PHP script server?

Answer

1) Find the rrd files used by the graph

See technote T1018613 Find rrd file, data source and data template for a graph

2) From the Console (TAB) -> Utilities -> View Poller Cache, search for the rrd file

The returned records show the php script command in the 2nd column (Details)


3) Open a PUTTY console on RTM host, go to $RTM_TOP/cacti, invoke script_server.php, then at prompt, copy the exact command from step 2 (highlighted in the screenshot)

For example:


# php script_server.php
PHP Script Server has Started - Parent is cmd
/opt/IBM/cacti/scripts/ss_grid_hgroup_stats.php ss_grid_hgroup_stats 1 get ut chat
0.014686999842524529

You can check the returned value to see if it makes sense.
