Uptime plugin (reboot monitor)

[mcutting]

My environment her a lot devices and most probably that 10 records is no sufficient for the records. is that possible to me to make it display more than 10 records in the "UPTIME" tab ?

A bit late, but I made some modifications to the uptime.php (better sorting, layout, and more hosts listed). You can get the updated version here.

I can't get thist pluging to work
do I need to make any changes ?

I have:
Cacti Version - 0.8.7a
Plugin Architecture - 1.4

LE: I mean it detecs the reboot of a device, but in Device section it does not show the uptime ...

[timi]

looks like host.php need some hacks, anybody ?:)

[apperrault]

mcutting,
I like the look of the changes, but i had to roll back. The one thing i like about the current layout is it shows me the reboots in reverse order (most recent one at the top). I like the ability to see more than the last 10 reboots, but with the number of servers i have, it is easier for me to see what booted last, than have to choose a host and see when it booted last. Do you know of any way to extend just the number of reboots? Maybe make it configurable?

thanks

Could someone who has this working in a modern Cacti (0.8.7, PA 1.4 or 2.0) zip up their uptime folder at post it?

I *think* I've followed all the way through this thread, applying the various 'fixes', but I seem to have a half-working plugin - no new options in the Devices page, and no device list in the Uptime tab.

[mcutting]

Howie - try this one - I have this working under 0.8.7b PIA 2.0

Ah, thanks. Still isn't working for me though... looking at the code, I don't see a hook for device_action_array, so I'm not really sure how it ever would add new actions to the hosts.php dropdown.

[mcutting]

Yes, this part does not work. It will only work if you open the device, and place a tick in the UPTIME field. This unfortunately means that you have to do it for every host.

you will only have devices in the uptime tab when a reboot is detcted.

[Howie]

Thanks for your help guys, I have this working now. Now we'll see what's going on down there.

Attached is my own tweaks to mcutting's zip. I've added a little note to show that no reboots have been detected yet, and I also added the 'enable uptime' and 'disable uptime' options to the Devices list.

It'd be nice if there was a column in the Device list to show it, but I guess that would need a new hook or two (one for adding headers, and another to fill in the data, I think).

Then don't do that

Seriously, you don't need to. It's not like weathermap's check.php - it's used internally by uptime.

[Howie]

Having found that CentOS 4 seems to restart the snmpd as part of it's weekly maintenance plan, I've made some modifications to check-uptime.php

This modification tried to retrieve the uptime from the HOST-MIB as well as the regular MIB-II one. The one that uptime normally checks is actually the uptime of the SNMP agent, and not the system. Not all devices use HOST-MIB (Cisco routers don't for example), but where both are available this modification prefers the system uptime over the agent uptime.

I haven't tested extensively to see if the extra query that fails slows down the poller too much though. A cleverer version would remember which hosts understand HOST-MIB.

It does stop Cacti sending alerts when the SNMP service is restarted.
