Cacti

Hi Paul Thanks for coming back to me so quick. Following your guidelines I now have it working. See below for the changes I had to make. 7 mkdir /usr/local/share/cacti/plugins – Already exisits 8 * Move all content of /usr/share/cacti/site/plugins to – Had to make this folder as site/plugins was mis...

Hi Just build a 12.10 box and apt-get installed cacti. Everything went well and it seems to function ok. However, when I extract a plugin folder to /usr/share/cacti/site/plugins things start to go wrong. The plugin management page shows the new plugins and I can install/activate them. This gives me ...

Thanks for the speedy reply. I've just gone back in to look again at the problem and clicked the gps tab to discover it's not all working. :roll: I've not done anything since I emailed you other than reboot the system (it ran out of swap for some reason) so no whave no idea what happened.

The reason I think I'm going to have to make such a huge increase is t...

Do they poll every 5 minutes and take a quick snap-shot of what the current usage is then post that to cacti...

Hey all I had everything working but with an older version of weathermap. Renamed weathermap plugin folder to weathermapold and added the new weathermap folder in it's place. I have other plugins installed and all work fine. If I rename/delete the weathermap folder everything is displayed again and ...
