There is no graph in RTM graphic user interface

Troubleshooting


Problem

If there is no graph in RTM, what should I check?

Symptom

There is no graph in RTM graphic user interface.

Resolving The Problem

You can check the following to see if there is any clues:

1, If there is data in your MySQL database.

2, When the answer of 1 is 'no', you can check if your lsfpollerd is up and running:

# service lsfpollerd status

3, If the answer of 1 is 'yes', check if your rrd file timestamp under /opt/IBM/cacti/rra are abnormal.

4, If 3 is 'no', check if your crontab setting of cacti is in correct contents and owner:

ls -l /etc/cron.d/cacti

cat /etc/cron.d/cacti

5, If all of 1 ~ 4 have no problem, check if your settings of following two are all "Every 5 minutes"


Console -> Configuration -> Settings -> Poller -> Poller Interval
Console -> Configuration -> Settings -> Poller -> Corn Interval

Here is a real use case. If you set "Corn Interval" above to "Every minute", there will be no longer having graph displayed.

It is recommend to set as following:
Poller Interval = Corn Interval = 5 minutes
This because /etc/cron.d/cacti is set as the following:

[your_rtm_host] # cat /etc/cron.d/cacti
# $Id$
*/5 * * * * apache php /opt/IBM/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1
[your_rtm_host] #

It means php /opt/IBM/cacti/poller.php runs every 5 minutes.
