Adding template from command line

Post by Exo7 »

Hi everyone.

I wrote a (very) small php script to import xml template file from command line. I need this kind of CLI tools to automatize an installation process, with custom templates I wrote for Cacti with data polled by Nagios.

Just unzip the file in your cacti/site/ folder.
usage : add_template.php your_template.xml
windows user may want to call the script with something like
php add_template.php your_template.xml

There is no verification to the template file used, or if the import succeeded : you should use a correct template xml file !
have fun

the import_xml_data function in lib/import.php takes an extra argument in 0.8.7, allowing you to ignore custom rra definition, which is a very good thing.

replace line 33 with

Code: Select all

$info_array = import_xml_data($xml_data,false);

The main configuration file in cacti 0.8.7 changed from config.php to global.php.
Changing line 28 in the script solve the issue. I'll post an updated version including the other needed change.

Please refer to cacti SVN code before applying changes.
There have been bug fixes and enhancements. Most of the should work instantaneously on 087* versions of cacti.
