Re: [FP] Cacti to graph and analyze folder performance Snapshot of my primary folders. These computers are in 3 different locations. They are a collection of Mac OSX, Linux and Windows Server 2003.
Note the missing chunks, this is an artifact of how the shell script is reporting data. "One of these days" I'll modify the shell script so that a missing report is replaced by the previous WU % and that will smooth the graphs. It is also very easy to add current pts/hour and overlay on the graph. |

|  3 folders -- notice the long "flatline" at 100% |
Back to my sales job on using Cacti... Had a minor issue today and it turned out that three folders had a long wait to upload results and get a new WU.
I first noticed a problem today after seeing the 'flatline' on 3 graphs mid-afternoon. So I remotely logged in, attached to the screen, and quickly discovered the dreaded "assigned to (0.0.0.0)" on the screen terminal:
quote: [02:35:22] + Attempting to get work packet [02:35:22] - Will indicate memory of 1024 MB [02:35:22] - Connecting to assignment server [02:35:22] Connecting to »assign.stanford.edu:8080/ [02:36:37] - Couldn't send HTTP request to server [02:36:37] + Could not connect to Assignment Server [02:36:37] Connecting to »assign2.stanford.edu:80/ [02:36:37] Posted data. [02:36:37] Initial: 0000; - Successful: assigned to (0.0.0.0). [02:36:37] + News From Folding@Home: Welcome to Folding@Home [02:36:37] Work Unit has an invalid address. [02:36:37] - Error: Attempt #9 to get work failed, and no other work to do. Waiting before retry.
In all seriousness Cacti is a real timesaver. After I discovered and attached to the remote screen I killed FAH and then restarted to see "assigned 0.0.0.0" message again which usually means the Assignment Servers are temporarily down. Just a few minutes ago I checked the Cacti graphs and was glad to see new WUs for the 3 servers (notice flatline at 100% followed by 0% which signifies the beginning of a new WU). |
