Cacti

Forgot to mention that even though that section says "Required Writable after Install Complete", the Next button is greyed out. I am not sure if this is related to the Write Permissions or not. Log section: 2020/04/05 21:03:52 - AUTH LOGIN: User 'admin' Authenticated 2020/04/05 21:03:55 - ...

Upgrading from 1.2.6 to 1.2.10. On the file permissions checks it shows that the log dir (/usr/share/cacti/log/) is Not Writable. I can also see this in the cacti.log -that is in the directory that Cacti says is not writable: ... - INSTALL-ERRORS: info: addError(Permission, /usr/share/cacti/log, Pat...

Ah sorry, on version 1.1.7.

Same result on 1.1.38.

Using custom date & time range for a graph to export to CSV. The CSV is created with the time span of the browser's timezone. example: server is in UTC timezone. browser on in EDT timezone. select 2019-01-30 10:00 to 2019-01-30 12:00 for time span. graph displays correct times. export to CSV.

I have the urls to devices within a tree in an external report. When I click on them, a new tab in IE is opened (I am forced to use it as default browser). The tab's url is initially correct but immediately changes to the url of the tab I most recently manually selected. What is causing the redirect...

Should the Cacti SNMPAgent be able to send THOLD traps in 1.1.37?

I'd bet money that the setting was not there until i fixed it....

JFC, i didn't see that. wanted it to be more complicated i guess.

figured it out 1 minute after posting:

updated the setting in the db:

Upgraded from 0.8.7e to 1.1.37. Worked fine after a few tweaks. except cmd.php collects fine but spine does not. Running poller.php from cmd line shows that the spine command line is using snmptrap for its config file: [CMD: /usr/local/spine/bin/spine, ARGS: -C /bin/snmptrap --poller=1 --first=0 --l...

I just figured it out. If you symlink libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0 to libmysqlclient.so, then everything will start working. However, I just noted today that there were a few patches made to the development branch of Cacti for MariaDB 10.2 support. It's safe to say that 10.2 is not officially supported...

Actually, there was one more step:
Any Data Input Methods in use by the hosts have to be saved/updated.

Ok guys, here's the answer:

1- disable all the devices you want to bulk hostname change.
2- bulk change their hostnames in the DB:
2.1- update host set hostname='new_name' where hostname='old_name'
3- enable all those hosts from way back in step 1.

thanks everyone, you guys are awesome.

Where are the hostnames stored for the polling cache?

I would like to bulk-upodate that table in addtion to the hosts table so that after re-building the cache, the new hostnames will be used.

alternatively, what api call can I use to trigger this change?

please help.
thanks

paulgevers, thanks for the answer.

Given the switch from MySQL to MariaDB on so many Linux flavors, I hope this gets fixed fairly soon.

I'm going to continue building RHEL 7, MariaDB 10.2.6, and the latest Cacti and hope that by the time I need spine, it will compile.
