Boost 2.0?

[khufure]

In subversion:

Code: Select all

--- 2.0 ---
    bug: remove the base start time, it complicates things
    bug: make version, force, and debug options consistent
    bug: rrdupdates oftentimes caused gaps in graphs due to limit issues
    feature: add an rrdtool output logging option

The 3rd bug is of great interest to me. Is this something we should update to? Also wondering if the abend issue is solved in this version.

Thanks

I tried the latest subversion boost on one of my servers. Gaps are looking quite a lot better. Going to give it a week then upgrade all the servers if these results continue.

Mucho gusto TheWitness, this bugfix is looking sweet!

Hi all


Can you confirm that installation steps for svn 2 are the samthan 1.7 ?
Or can I move it under plugin dir and modify config.php as usual ?

PLease let me know how you installed this new version.

Thanks

They are a bit different. The latest boost subversion ("2.0") requires install in the plugin-2.0 section. That is, you click to install Boost, and also enable it. Nothing difficult but I would give yourself a 1-2 hour maintenance window.

From what I can tell the latest version is running very well. There's no way I'd switch back. In fact, I'll be upgrading the rest of our servers this week.

Does latest svn boost need cacti 0.8.7c ?
I try it on 0.8.7b and got error:

Code: Select all

cat ./boost.log

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function is_hexadecimal() in /var/www/html/cacti/plugins/boost/setup.php on line 968

Does not need 0.8.7c.

Change line 968 to the following:

Code: Select all

}elseif ((function_exists("is_hexadecimal")) && (is_hexadecimal($matches[2]))) {

That will make it backwards compatible.

I didn't have to do this on my 087b instance. Or at least, I don't think I did. Should I make this change?

[TheWitness]

Yes. I have committed to SVN for those running on 0.8.7b or below.
