Manage Plugin 0.6.2 for monitoring networks, servers...

[gilles]

I just tried to download the manage plugin and our Fortigate detected a virus. Is there another location I can download it from? Thanks!

maybe pskill.exe, part of pstools

Hello;

I have manage configured and have all devices added that were in my weathermap, but I see a little circle with a red line through it whenever i try to hover my mouse over a host.

The cacti log shows the following error:

12/17/2008 03:16:23 PM - WEATHERMAP: Poller[0] [Map 1] weathermap.conf: Unrecognised config on line 590: RIGHTOVERLIB <a href=/cacti/host.php?action=edit&id=28>Management -> Devices</a><br><a href=/cacti/plugins/manage/manage_viewalerts.php?edit=1&id=28>Device Managing -> Event Reporting</a><br>Mail to: <a href=mailto:hosta@work.org>hosta@work.org</a><br>Notes:

thanks again for everyone's help here

are you using "preprocessing weathermaps" ?
i asked for a feature (right click in weathermap) but finally this as not been include by howie

I've added some devices for tcp 25 & 110 (mail basic template) check. change my mind and wish to remove tcp 25 /110 check but I can't!

manually delete the data sources (and check associated graphs)

[gilles]

Why for viewing the device under "manage plugin" I have to permit the user not only in "graph permission by template" (that is more fast) like other plugin, but also "graph permission by device" that is more slow and tedious???

manage check device permission
if a user don't have access to a device (deny), he won't see it in manage

0.6.1 out

0.6.1 out

I am trying with everything I know to get manage to work. I have even scrapped my existing Cacti install and re-done from scratch and still it does not work.

Here is what I have done so far:
Installed Cacti-0.8.7d
Installed PA 2.4
Installed TCP Port Template
Installed manage 0.6.1
Installed thold
Installed settings

What happens is that no rrd files are created and the ports I have set to manage are always "down". Also noted that the manage_poller_output table is always empty.

I even manually created the rrd files and they never get updated. And so far there are no errors or warnings in the error log.

HELP!!!!

In fact... when I run this command manually, I get the following output:
php /data/srv/www/cacti-0.8.7d/plugins/manage/manage_check.php 1 rrdtool 1

The referenced table does not exist. I use latest version. Any hints?

hjohnson, if the rrd are not updated, try disable manage and check your graphs

Did that... no difference. However I did once again wiped everything out and tried one final time. And I did get it working. But so far I have to use cmd.php as the poller. If I used spine it does not work.

Still investigating.

you don't have thold_data table ?
have you plugin thold installed ?
try go to "user settings" at "Check thresholds" and select no

Not sure if right topic.. but still...

i have cacti 0.8.7d, manage 0.6.1, thold 0.4

And tehre is a problem adding ports monitoring.

If i add it as "TCP Ports Template", then graph want work untill i open and resave graph temlate for TCP with "average" as Consolidation Function. But device status is shown ok.

I've traced with graph debug and found that it creates graph with Consolidation Function "LAST" and just doesnt see real graph template.

Where can be problem? Or how can i make it to use right graph template?

i don't understand
can you output your graph debug text and explain what is wrong ?

[Fjugy]

So...

when i open device in console, go to "PHP Network Managing Options - Current host status : ", "in TCP Ports Template" choose new template for device. After this i go to graph list, open graph with debug mode i get

Code: Select all

RRDTool Command:

/usr/local/bin/rrdtool graph - \
--imgformat=PNG \
--start=-86400 \
--end=-300 \

AREA:a#EA8F00FF:"TCP"  \
GPRINT:a:LAST:"%8.0lf\n"  \
COMMENT:"(1 = Running, 0 = Stopped)" 
RRDTool Says:

ERROR: the RRD does not contain an RRA matching the chosen CF

so here i have LAST

after this i go to graph templates, open TCP template and i see that

Code: Select all

Item # 1 (TCP): TCP AREA AVERAGE   EA8F00 

ibut t should be AVERAGE

i open this item, just press save, save grap template, go back do device graph and i see

Code: Select all

RRDTool Command:

/usr/local/bin/rrdtool graph - \
--imgformat=PNG \
--start=-86400 \
--end=-300 \
--title="********** - TCP State - 53" \
--base=1000 \

GPRINT:a:LAST:"%8.0lf\n"  \
COMMENT:"(1 = Running, 0 = Stopped)" 
RRDTool Says:

OK

it became AVERAGE

So i don't get where does it takes LAST first time?

Hi Gilles,

first of all, thank you for all the great plugins that you contributed for quite some time. I really appreciate them a lot.
Here´s one thing/request i do need:
can you implement a tree/site/group-authorization like with the cacti graphs or weathermap? i´d like a couple of users to view only their "management"-site/group and nothing else.
If someone else already asked for this i surely overlooked it.
Anyway: thanks again for your work!
