I would double check these information. Cacti runs on rrd( round robin database). I have innodb for my ndoutils 1.47b. <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Aug 7, 2009 at 3:03 PM, Andrew Davis <<a href="mailto:nccomp@gmail.com">nccomp@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000099"> Our Nagios server also has Cacti on it. I'm pretty sure that Cacti uses an InnoDB database, while NDOUtils uses myISAM. The two are backed up differently (example: mysqlhotcopy doesn't working on InnoDB databases). Does anyone know what mysql command you run to determine which type of DB is used for various databases, especially considering you can run multiple types at once? I know I can use "mysqlshow" or the "show databases;" options to show the databases themselves, but it doesn't list the DB type. Using mysqlshow with a -t and a DB name shows the table types, but again, not the database types. I'm sort of stuck on this. I want to make sure I know what DB types I'm dealing with so I can ensure I'm backing them up properly. Google searches aren't helping... the results all go back to the "mysql versus innodb" debate... <pre cols="72">-- A.
