Spine and SNMP problems

Hi everyone,
I have followed the tutorial to installing cacti here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cacti
But when i try to add an interface stats graph, i get:

+ Running data query [1].
+ Found type = '3' [snmp query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/srv/http/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml'
+ XML file parsed ok.
+ Executing SNMP walk for list of indexes @ '.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1'
+ No SNMP data returned
+ Found data query XML file at '/srv/http/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/interface.xml'

When the query is run in debug mode.
Thinking that the tutorial above lacked some config, i blindly started playing around (as you do) and ended up with 'rwuser cacti' in my snmpd.conf.. Im really lost as to how snmp is configured and cant find any understandable tutorials for it.

My cacti.log shows this error, suggesting that snmp is not set up to handle cacti's requests:

SPINE: Poller[0] WARNING: Host[3] DataQuery[1] Reindex Check FAILED: No SNMP Session.  If not an SNMP host, don't use Uptime Goes Backwards!
SPINE: Poller[0] WARNING: Host[3] DataQuery[6] Reindex Check FAILED: No SNMP Session.  If not an SNMP host, don't use Uptime Goes Backwards!
SYSTEM STATS: Time:1.2157 Method:spine Processes:1 Threads:1 Hosts:2 HostsPerProcess:2 DataSources:10 RRDsProcessed:10

Please help!!

Re: Spine and SNMP problems

Weirdly, it started working with absolutely no input from me..
So i added a network traffic graph, and i was getting some blank graphs. But this seemed to be a problem with cron, so i have restarted the service and everything LOOKS to be working. We'll see if i get any useful info.

How the hell did it start working?

Re: Spine and SNMP problems

Ok, eveything is working now except the poller
If i restart crond, it will run properly and everything works. But it only works the once after i restart crond..

Any ideas?
