cacti 问题汇总 总有你遇见的
1、cacti简介
1）、cacti是用php语言实现的一个软件，它的主要功能是用snmp服务获取数据，然后用rrdtool储存和更新数据，当用户需要查看数据的时候用rrdtool生成图表呈现给用户。因此，snmp和rrdtool是cacti的关键。Snmp关系着数据的收集，rrdtool关系着数据存储和图表的生成。
2）、mysql配合PHP程序存储一些变量数据并对变量数据进行调用，如：主机名、主机ip、snmp团体名、端口号、模板信息等变量。
3）、snmp抓到数据不是存储在mysql中，而是存在rrdtool生成的rrd文件中（在cacti根目录的rra文件夹下）。rrdtool对数据的更新和存储就是对rrd文件的处理，rrd文件是大小固定的档案文件（Round Robin Archive），它能够存储的数据笔数在创建时就已经定义。

11、问题汇总
问题1：
Warning: strtotime(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/cacti/include/global_constants.php on line 165
解决方法：
# vim /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini
修改
date.timezone = PRC
并取消注释
问题2：
PHP Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in /usr/local/nginx/html/cacti/lib/ping.php on line 382
解决方法：
socket_select($r = array($this->socket), $w = NULL, $f = NULL, $to_sec, $to_usec){
=>修改为
$r = array($this->socket);
$w = NULL;
$f = NULL;
switch(socket_select($r, $w, $f, $to_sec, $to_usec)){
问题3：
WARNING: Cron is out of sync with the Poller Interval! The Poller Interval is '300' seconds, with a maximum of a '300' second Cron, but 2135 seconds have passed since the last poll!
解决方法：
