creating a web-link to Cacti

[Guest]

i`m working with a tool called Whats Up (it is used for monitoring my ISP network). i have a map where my hosts, routers and other stuff are shown. so i would like to create a web-link which would show statictics of my servers using Cacti software.but i have a trouble - autintification is needed to show pages with server statistics. i can`t disable autintification as it is very dangerous to work without it;)
how can i download statictics pages without entering login&password manually every time?

You could try exporting those graphs you need. Then create your own index pages inside the export directory and protect them with your own .htaccess files.

surely i can download all necessarry graphs&files and then make a securable connection to them
but i`d like to get access to my statistics any time to get fresh information..

well since the only other way to access the graphs is to have cacti dynamically create them when they are requested - then you either have to go through cacti - or you have to export them. I suppose you could turn off Cacti's authentication, and control access via .htaccess files - but that would be a little more complicated I think.

You can just use the guest user which is only allowed to access the
graphs and not the console. You could even configure the guest user to
only have access to a certain (or more) trees, so as to limit the graphs
that the user may view. Go to User Management and see all the options
you have available.

You can then hotlink directly to the graphs with links like this:
http://your.cacti.server/cactidir/graph_view.php
