Last Scanned: Never PA2.1

[zkenton]

Does anyone know why PA 2.1 and/or cacti 0.8.7b will not scan for plugins? I am trying to install NPC, which requires this feature of PA2.1 to work. All I see under all of the plugin management is blank spaces and below that is
Last Scanned: Never

[zkenton]

I'm sure I can dig deeper myself, but what exactly is it that is supposed to be doing the scanning?

i have some problem.
install windows bundle, then import table to sql and change file. last scanned Never.
Who have pa2.0 for 0.8.7.b?

That last scanned is not what you think. The whole interface was from my Update plugin, and the Last scanned is from that also. It means that the update plugin hasn't checked for updates.

As far as it not finding the plugin, it scans the plugin directory EVERY time you reload that page, so the plugin is probably installed incorrectly (or did you check the Uninstalled tab?)

Hello,

I need help! I worked on Redhat 5, I installed Nagios 3.0, Centreon 1.4.7, NDOutils-1.4b7 and Cacti-0.8.7b.

I am trying to install NPC-2.0.0b.166. which requires this feature of cacti-plugin-arch-2.1 to work. But I have a problem, in Cacti under all of the Plugin Management is blank spaces and below that is Last Scanned: Never.

In Cacti -> Plugin Management -> Uninstalled: There are no Uninstalled Plugins

# vi /var/www/cacti/include/global.php
$plugins = array();
$plugins[] = 'npc';

But I can't see NPC in Cacti and I don't know why

Thanks for your help

Best Regards

"Last Scanned" means nothing unless you have the Update Plugin installed, so dont worry about it.

Did you check the permissions on the npc folder? Did you check your Cacti Realm permissions to make sure you can see the plugin?

Thanks for your reply and for your help

I check my Cacti Realm permissions control which sections of Cacti this user will have access to and I select all the Realm permissions (Plugin Management...) so I can see the Plugin.

I check the permissions on the npc folder but I don't have ncp folder.
In fact, when I installed NPC, I did that:

wget http://trac2.assembla.com/npc/wiki/NPCDownload
tar xzf npc-2.0.0b.166.tar.gz
sudo mv npc /var/www/cacti/plugins/
chmod 777 npc /var/www/cacti/plugins/
chmod 777 npc /var/www/cacti/plugins/*

vi var/www/cacti/include/global.php
$plugins = array();
$plugins[] = 'npc';

But in Console –> Configuration –> Plugin Management -> Uninstalled, I don't see NPC Plugin

How did you installed NPC?
Did you have a npc folder ?

Thank you very much for your help

You are trying to install it 2 different ways. If the plugin requires the old way (global.php) then you will not see it in Plugin Management unless you are using Cacti 0.8.7d and the latest PA. Otherwise after installing it as described, you should now see some realms for it. Otherwise check your npc folder and make sure this file exists.

Hello,

Thanks for your help, but I don't understand everything

How can I know if the plugin requires the old way (global.php) ?

Why do you say : "you are trying to install it 2 differents ways" ?
I think that I installed NPC using only one way. I installed Cacti-0.8.7b and cacti-plugin-arch-2.1 but I don't know if it's the latest PA

After installing Cacti-0.8.7b and cacti-plugin-arch-2.1, in User Management, I select my user, in Realm Permissions I select Plugin Management.
After that, I see Plugin Management in Configuration. So I go in Configuration -> Plugin Management : I see that:
Cacti
Version: 0.8.7b

Plugin Architecture
Version: 2.1

Then, I installed NPC using this way:

Code: Select all

wget http://trac2.assembla.com/npc/wiki/NPCDownload
tar xzf npc-2.0.0b.166.tar.gz
mv npc /var/www/cacti/plugins/

vi  /var/www/cacti/include/global.php
$plugins = array();
$plugins[] = 'npc';

Then, when I go in Configuration -> Plugin Management : I see that:
Cacti
Version: 0.8.7b

Plugin Architecture
Version: 2.1

I don't see NPC and in Configuration -> Plugin Management -> Uninstalled : There are no Uninstalled Plugins

I don't have the file : /var/www/cacti/plugins/npc/setup.php, but I have the file /var/www/cacti/plugins/setup.php with all the rights!!

Did you have a correct link which explain how install NPC with Cacti and PA?

Thank you very much for your help
