Unable to create queries in flowview

[gster]

Hi, I can't seem to create queries in flowview. Running version 0.6 from SVN.

Otherwise flowview is working brilliantly. Looked in the logs but couldn't find anything of relevance. Only thing that may be relevant is from the technical support section on - System Utilities


plugin_flowview_dnscache 0 MEMORY latin1_swedish_ci The storage engine for the table doesn't support check

Any ideas what this could be? I'm sure I imported this table into the database when I set up flowview.

Any clues would be most appreciated

IE or firefox, not sure if I fixed that version to work with IE, as IE has major issues with standards.

Using Firefox 2.0.0.14, also tried in IE7 and get the same result

I'm also having the same issue. I'm running Cacti 0.8.7b, Plugin Architecture 2.1, and Flowviewer 0.5.1. The plugin installed/appeared in cact just as it should however I'm not able to generate queries either, the results are just a blank table. All of my settings directories appear to be correct, and there isn't a single item in the cacti log file about flowviewer. I too get the same results in either Firefox or IE.

Any suggestions?

Actually I can run queries, I just can't save them and therefore use the schedules function.

I did have a similar issue to you but managed to get it working.

Couple of things that I did around the time when it fixed itself.

1) sorted out ntp sync issues (I'm running on VMWARE)
2) re-compiled my kernel, as part of (1)
3) followed the clues in this post

4) make sure flow-capture is running and collecting stats

ps aux | grep flow-capture

If not check the permisions on /var/netflow/flows/completed/ or where ever your flows are created.

Not sure which of these resolved my issues but it's working for me now. Just can't save the queries.

Does the plugin_flowview_queries table exist?

[gster]

Yes, Just to be sure I dropped the table and re-ran the section of the .sql file pertaining to that table, but still get the same result

Here is a quick fix to this. I didn't have time to find out why, but it works.

Replace line 153 with
if (isset($_POST['queryname']) && $_POST['queryname'] != '') {

For some reason it cant see that $_REQUEST['action2_x'] has a value...

P.S. I only had a problem saving a query..

[gster]

thanks for your repsonse, can you just confirm which file and the code that I'm replacing, I suspect it is in flowview.php but line 153 does not match up to a line with '$_REQUEST['action2_x']' in my version.

Oops!
Yeah, its flowview.php. I am using the latest downloaded from this site (0.5.1) and line 153 down looks like this...
