I believe it could be that the create statement in cacti has \ on end which needs to be left off the create from command .

Cacti CAN create rrd files if I use a built in template (Interface statistics for example) IF I manually create the RRD file, the poller is then not running the query to update the file. As far as I can tell, everything is enabled as it should be, and I cant see any reason why it isn't running. I have rebuilt the poller cache a few times. This is a cacti instance that has been running for over a year. The OS and permissions have been correct for months and have not been touched. The data source and graph templates are the same as the last time I added a new graph for this device. The only change is the recent commit. The cron job for the poller is run as cactiuser: */1. i do not have any rrd files whatsoever for this host in my rra directory. does anyone have any ideas on how i could further diagnose this problem? In my case it was related to thepermissions on the directory where the apache user could not create the files. i would have thought so too but it only seems to be occuring on.
