haloe alerts and removals not showing

[lyudell]

I tried pepj's suggestion and now see colors; however, I've still got the "Offset not contained in string." error.

Just to clarify how this is supposed work... If I click the "!" next to an entry, what's suppose to happen? Should I be able to see a list of rules that are created?

Thanks to all.

@pepj - Thank you for your insight, it led me to the solution of colors not showing in my installation of the plugin syslog 0.5.1

Here is what I have found to solve this problem. It is not a bug in the plugin, its simply a lack of explaination of how to setup the config file.

In the config.php file are entries for colors you want to show for various types of messages showing up in your syslog DB.

In the config is the following line:

Code: Select all

$syslog_colors['warn']		= 'FCF0C0';

But thanks to pepj's insight, it dawned on me that my messages show a little differently like "Local0.war". So i added the following code to my config.php file:

Code: Select all

$syslog_colors['Local0\.war']		= 'FCF0C0';

And voila I have colors
Notice the "\" before the "." I believe this is neccessary to escape the ".".

Good luck to all.

And thank you Jimmy for all your work on Cacti/Plugins, your efforts are appreciated daily!

anyone has news around the mail problem for alerts?

With the new syslog version (you need 0.8.7 and new architecture also) I do not have e-mail problem anymore (I have no more to adapt the snmp.class and class.phpmailer) . In am using option "SMTP".

Attention: you need also to install the new "setting-plugin" and check the setting of "Thold" & "Mail / DNS".

Sorry ....

but i can't use the last version of syslog with 0.86j version of cacti?

i MUST upgrade to the newer version?

I remeber that i have the problem of mail with alert and removal .... and i can't visualize in the right way the new record even if there are data in db.

Well I think I found what is causing the alerts and removals not to display, just don't know why...

It seems not to like the include of the global_array...

If you comment out this section begining at line 113 in syslog_remove.php:

Code: Select all

function display_removals () {
        global $colors, $sql_where, $hostfilter, $config, $types;
        //if (file_exists("./include/global_arrays.php")) {
        //      include("./include/global_arrays.php");
        //} else {
        //      include("./include/config_arrays.php");
        //}
        include('plugins/syslog/config.php');

Everything appears as it should.

Likewise for syslog_alert.php and syslog_reports.php

I too had this problem. Alerts and removal rules were indeed in the DB, they were just not being displayed in the Cacti Web interface. I followed kurowsky's suggestion and commented the reference to global_arrays in both syslog_alert.php and syslog_removal.php and all is well again:

function display_alertss () {
global $colors, $sql_where, $hostfilter, $config, $types;
//if (file_exists("./include/global_arrays.php")) {
// include("./include/global_arrays.php");
//} else {
// include("./include/config_arrays.php");
//}
include('plugins/syslog/config.php');

function display_removals () {
global $colors, $sql_where, $hostfilter, $config, $types;
//if (file_exists("./include/global_arrays.php")) {
// include("./include/global_arrays.php");
//} else {
// include("./include/config_arrays.php");
//}
include('plugins/syslog/config.php');

The configured alert and removal rules are now displayed.

... i hve done the procedure that you talked about .... but any news .... alert and removals are invisible to my cacti web interface ....

i don't understand really why ....

i have tried to upgrade my test server but i have the same problem on the new version of cacti, 0.8.7a and last version of syslog (0.5.2)

help help

Syslog 0.5.2 and cacti 0.8.7a, and plugin arch 1.4.
Syslog is not populating anything.

Cacti is running on Linux Redhat 4 ES. All hosts are sending their syslog data to host no problem....but syslog/cacti is not pulling data into the syslog plugin. Just empty.
syslog db is there...and all tables seem fine.

any ideas? i have no errors in my cacti.log either.

Did you edit syslog/config.php file with the correct database information?

Was it working before you upgraded to 5.2 or is this a fresh installation?

[sebbs]

config.php is good with the db info....
and this is a fresh syslog install.

Did you follow all the steps to get Syslog-ng working or did you just drop in the syslog plugin and expect it to work?

[sebbs]

shiat! i need to install that dont it! and configure Syslog-ng to dump into the syslog db? I did it a year ago...i have forgotten how i got it working.

thanks!

Yeah, it's a real PITA, I know, I did it from scratch once. I gave up on that and now use CactiEZ.

[sebbs]

so CactiEZ is a vm iso with all these plugins built in or what?
