Hello,

we also need to manage hosts and graphs from outside cacti.

is this CLI yet stable?
is there a chance to disable/remove a hosts or graphs over CLI-interface?

regards

[rony]

CLI are only designed for adding.

They will be available in the release of 0.8.7.

Deleting can easily be figured out by looking into the Cacti code.

[earl26]

thanks a lot for this excellent work.

[jcampos]

excellent work.

it's possible that the developers of the "cli" for the next version, add_graphs.php added to the graphics options interfaces that match different values snmp_field and snmp_value, I explain.

Today I can do something like this.

Code: Select all

php -q /export/home/mordor/cacti/cli/add_graphs.php \
                                        --graph-type=ds \
                                        --graph-template-id=32 \
                                        --host-id=ID-HOST \
                                        --snmp-query-id=1 \
                                        --snmp-query-type-id=21 \
                                        --snmp-field=ifType \
                                        --snmp-value=ethernetCsmacd

I like to do something like this:

Code: Select all

php -q /export/home/mordor/cacti/cli/add_graphs.php \
                                        --graph-type=ds \
                                        --graph-template-id=32 \
                                        --host-id=ID-HOST \
                                        --snmp-query-id=1 \
                                        --snmp-query-type-id=21 \
                                        --snmp-field=ifType&ifOperStatus\
                                        --snmp-value=ethernetCsmacd&Up \

this because I'm measuring the network has more than 500 teams and many more 15000 interfaces to be measured.

Greetings

Not sure about Deleting being that easy to figure out, there's not plans I take it for a script to handle it then ?

I've got a lot of hosts that change IP, and unfortunately they don't play well with DNS. So a script notifies me of an IP address change. So I tried a bit of SQL (It's hundreds changing allt he time... don't ask!)

Basically changed the host table where the cacti_id was one I was looking for and changed it's hostanme to the new address. Doesn't work. Something else appears to be done when that happens, looking through the PHP code (I'm not a PHP developer alas) looks like a whole raft of SQL updates need to be performed.

Dont' suppose there's a chance of a CLI tool to do that too ?

[rony]

Yes, scripts will be added for deleting.

[gandalf]

Not before 088, as far as I'm concerned. We will supply a "delete" and an "update" interface for most objects. "list" options will be split off of current "add" scripts for sake of performance and design

Presume the delete of a host will allow the ripple down deleting of all graphs and data sources too ?

[gandalf]

This one should already be there. See SVN of 087 branch. You may check it out and try on 087-style cacti. Comments are welcomed

Hmm not working, but might be my fault if there's sometihng needing tweaking from my Ubuntu Cacti Install (0.8.7b) ?

Warning: include_once(): Failed opening 'CACTI_BASE_PATH/lib/api_device.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /usr/share/cacti/site/cli/remove_device.php on line 38

Fatal error: Call to undefined function getHosts() in /usr/share/cacti/site/cli/remove_device.php on line 47

Either that or perhaps I can get away with copying some of the api libs form SVN into mine... afriad it might mess it up though. Is the remove feature going to be in 0.8.7c then ?

That would be a yes

Changed CACTI_BASE_PATH to $config["base_path"]

Worked a treat.. cheers gandalf
