automatically graph interfaces in up state

Post by Rhab »

Hi,

I wondered if there is some sort of plugin or script that periodically checks the up state of interfaces at some host. Based on this information it should turn on/off the graphing of the specific interfaces.

When I read through this forum I found the MacTrack plugin that supports kind of these finctionalities but I doubt it fits for my special purpose.

Any help or advice would be really great!
Thanks in advance.

I believe the mac track plugin does this. Have you tried it yet?

I installed it, but im not sure if I even understood the basic functions and how to set them up.
I couldnt find any rather detailed documentation. The .doc form the zip archive is somehow broken.

So I see no way how to actually apply it for my own problem.

Can you or anyone other explain me if and how it might work?

You need to goto docs.cacti.net to get more information. It will not do what you want. However, a proficient PHP programmer could pull it off.

There is a template in the scripts forum that may help you. Do a search for "interface status" in this forum.

How to automatically graph new interfaces statistics?

Post by galco »

Hi,

I need exactly the same feature. I searched for "interface status" (as suggested the last post) without any result. I tried to extract the code that adds new graphs from cacti web but my knowledge of php is poor. The only thing I get is to update automatically the interface status using cron.

Thanks
