Hi
After some troubleshooting, I realized what seems to be the problem. I WAS
running the poller manually as root, but when running it as the jffnms user,
it fails with a segmentation fault. Following this lead, I realized that
the previous jffnms admin had made some database changes (extra interfaces,
mac address tracking, etc) while running a 0.7.x version of jffnms and now
the front end is running 0.8.3. I believe the problem has to do with these
extra interface types being defined in the DB and the new front end not
having the proper changes to support this. So now I have to review the old
front end files and compare to the new front end as well as bring the
database up to 0.8.3. I'm hoping to just do a sqldump of the backend, dump
the database, install a fresh 0.8.3 database and try to import just the host
records to get the basic traffic graphing going again and then I can work on
the extra interfaces and whatnot. Does this make sense? Cheers!
