Version 1.1.5 of improved Cacti templates released

with 4 comments

I’ve released version 1.1.5 of my improved Cacti templates for MySQL and other components of a LAMP application. This is a pure bug-fix release. One of the bug fixes prevents spikes in graphs, but requires you to rebuild your RRD files. There are upgrade instructions on the project wiki for this and all releases. Use the project issue tracker to view and report issues, and use the project mailing list to discuss the templates and scripts.

The full changelog follows:

2009-12-13: version 1.1.5

  * Support for getting slave lag via mk-heartbeat was broken (issue 87).
  * The memcached stats command hung because it lacked "quit" (issue 65).
  * The COUNTER data type caused spikes; switched to DERIVE instead (issue41).
  * LOCK WAIT in an InnoDB transaction could cause an error (issue 91).
  * The cache file name didn't include the MySQL port (issue 82).
  * Added the -q option to the SSH command to quell missing homedir warnings.
  * The --port option to the MySQL templates could not be null.
  * The log_bytes_flushed and log_bytes_written were renamed (issue 81).

  1. We are currently using Zabbix to monitor our databases, would it be possible to port these templates to Zabbix? Thanks for the great blogging and tips!!

  2. Dangerd, I don’t really know how to create Zabbix templates, so I can’t say how much work that would be. But I probably wouldn’t do it for free. I see a lot less demand for Zabbix than for Cacti. Still, it’s worth talking about — contact me via email if you like?

  4. I’m pretty much completely unfamiliar with Zabbix, so I can’t even estimate how much work it’d be. But I hope that someone wants to get involved in this. I think the foundation might even there to be able to generate templates for many different systems, given a little coding, so there is less redundancy. Anyone who wants to get involved should join the mailing list and discuss it.
