Cacti

With v2 community strings I agree. However with v3 Auth/Priv, those arn't both sent in the clear to the best of my understanding. On our switches for instance, I know the v3 credentials are encrypted at rest.

I was digging around in the cacti database and discovered that the SNMP v3 credentials and v2 community strings are stored in the database as plaintext. This raises a yellow flag to me because I consider that information as confidential as a local user account. In a perfect world, these credentials ...

there is a way to install and install this plugin into a windows based cacti ?

Not currently because it relies on the linux wmic tool. That being said, it's open source and not terribly hard to work through. It could be tweaked to use windows tools with some work.

You can monitor more than one drive, but you'll have to readd the graph multiple times and change the filtered drive.

I've issued a pull request which fixes some issues around Server 2008 domain controllers and Server 2012. As a bonus I've added a new script that can pull windows network info via WMI instead of SNMP. The windows network WMI counters are still 32-bit, but there is a total traffic counter, which is 6...

I wasn't able to find any assistance available for it readily, so I wrote a perl script to do it. It can also rename a ds or delete a ds. In case anyone else needs it, it can be found at: https:/...

I've got Autom8, ReportIt, and Autom8ReportIt working, but noticed that it requires a data query in order to create a report rule. Is there a way to have a rule for a simple graph not part of a data query? I've got a CPU Usage data template which just pulls a single OID connected to a graph template...

I'm seeing it as well in 0.8.8b.

Is there a way to trigger Autom8 to run based on a table field change? One of the well documented use cases for autom8 is creating switch port graphs that are in the UP status when creating the device. What I'm interested in is if someone later, after the device is made plugs into an unused port, ha...

I was looking at building some new host templates and wanted to be able to share them with others. I know there is a basic export option in the GUI to export templates, but I also know that tends to include extra information that isn't relevant or that would override other base templates. Is there a...
