Aggregate V0.71 - Released

[gandalf]

This is the new thread for the Aggregate Plugin.
Current Version is 0.71.

Please find attached a tgz file with the new code. Along with the code, you will find a 20 page documentation in PDF format. I'll post this PDF as a single attachment here to easily have a look at new features.

Find this plugin at the Official Cacti Plugin repository http://docs.cacti.net/plugin:aggregate#aggregate

Have fun!

Hello!

I've UNINSTALLED the plugin (version 0.66) from "Plugin Management"(PA2.1). I've no Idea how to bring it back.
BTW, i've removed old version and installed this new one. Like always, simply copied it into plugins folder and modified "cacti/include/global.php" th re-add it back.
No way, the plugin cannot be discovered.
How re-enable it?
IN "Updates" plugin I can correctly see the "Aggregate" plugin with version 0.70b1

Thank's!

I've solved the problem.
A plugin was not showing me correctly the "UNINSTALLED" Tab of PA.
Now I've found it under uninstalled, and installed the "aggregate" as new.

Thank's for this great Plugin!

Thanks gandalf for this new update

I just install this new update (0.7) in one of my satellite site. I do notice 1 possible bug thought. I not sure is it a bug or has it being reported before or not but here it goes:

The title of the aggregate graph somehow cannot has any space or ',' I have yet confirm whether is it a ',' or space because when I have both like "Aggregate, ABC XYZ", it fail/reject from creating with error on red box. When I create with no space and comma like "Aggregate_ABC_XYZ" it can create. BUT once the graph is created, I can just rename it with space and comma without any problem.

Yep, there's a regexp checking for attact, there is. But , and blank should be fine. Will update code accordingly. Change line 434 of aggregate.php if you can't wait

Hi Reinhard, thanks for a great plugin

Wonder if you could help me with something

look at my monthly graph, the totals are spot on, but the max/current graphs seem out, they seem too high or rather daily too low

weekly


monthly


config


Cacti Version: 0.8.7b
Aggregate Version: 0.70 Bet
Plugin Architecture Version: 2.1

the hourly and daily are also fine,
thanks again for such a great app!

Really appreciate the great plugin!!!

We have individual server graphs, graphing and calculating our 95th Percentile as we would like. We have just installed the new Aggregate 0.7 Plugin and have successful created the aggregate graph....but are very confused when it comes to aggregated data. We have followed the Aggregate Manual, but we are not sure what we are seeing. We are working with the December 2008 data. DecImage.jpg shows what we are currently getting. All of the data is correct for each of the 10 servers. What were trying to get is a 95th Percentile of all the servers total. As shown in the image, we get each server's 95th Percentile. But how do we get the 95th Percentile as a whole in the same xx.xx mbit in+out format? Is this possible, and if so, how? Image2 shows the Graph Items.
Thanks in advance!

Hello -

I found the addition of new color templates cumbersome (no insult intended - pretty low priority item), so I scripted something in bash that would populate the proper cacti db tables with some colors from palettes I grabbed off the web from places like:

http://www.wellstyled.com/tools/colorsc ... ex-en.html

So if you want to quickly add some additional palettes, you can do the following (NOTE: I am NOT responsible if you totally hork your db -- always take a backup of your database before beginning).

1. Download the attached .tgz file and explode it in a temporary directory on a system that has access to your MySQL cacti db:
2. Create a file that contains one six-character hex code per line (without "#"'s) -- this is your palette file
3. Edit the CACTI_DB variable in "insert_color_palettes.sh" to reflect your cacti database name
4. Run script like:

   Code: Select all

   $ sh -x ./insert_color_palettes.sh 'decsriptive name of my new palette' /path/to/my/new_palette_file

Currently assumes you have a .my.cnf or the like which gives you passwordless access to the database using the mysql command line client. Feel free to modify for your own purposes.

Please post a screenshot of any base graph from graph management, but in DEBUG mode. If possible, add exported graph template

You are absolutely correct. The current color scheme is awful.
Replacing it would be quite easy. But matching current colors used in existing templates to new colors was not yet solved, at least not by me. There's a quite old thread on this case.
If you do have an idea how to solve, I'm more than happy to discuss this with you

Fixed in SVN, rev 337, to allow "," as well. Spaces were already allowed.

how do you to create the Image2.jpg ?
how do you can choose "(traffic_in)ALL ITEMS " in data source ?

star3am, please post the rrdtool graph output for the first aggregate that you've posted.
