CPU 100% with cacti

reallove · 03-14-2007, 05:05 PM

Hello,
I've realised that everytime the cacti's poller.php script runs,invoked by the crontab entry,it brings my CPU to 100%,stays there 10-15 seconds till it finishes gathering the informations.Is that normal ?
Some details : I use cacti version 0.8.6j and the data queries are only snmp-based to 40 hosts .
Thank you.

Well, Cacti *is* CPU/RAM hungry, and I think there's nothing that you or I can do about it... I had the same problems with it, and I solved it by avoiding Cacti and doing the monitoring with handmade scripts and MRTG.
