Patches Available for 0.8.7d

Post by TheWitness »

All,

Please note that there have been 4 patches released to 0.8.7d to address some interesting problems with graphing and other miscellaneous other issues that you should check out before asking:

Here are the details:

Patch to correct ping timeout value 2009/03/02
Command line ping timeout values are calculated incorrectly causing extremely high ping timeout values.
Fix issue with graph search 2009/03/02
Due to invalid URL contructions some searches will result in invalid search parameters
Reduce graph page shifting 2009/03/02
Graph images are moved into a DIV element to reduce issues with page length changes on load
SNMP value trim issue 2009/03/02
When not using php-snmp, values are not trimmed properly causing rrdtool file to not be created

For those poor Windows users that are not familiar with "patch", here is a link to the full files:

Regards,

TheWitness

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Can you provide a pointer to a version of patch for Windows too, please?
Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.
(Let me know if you have UK DevOps or Network Ops opportunities, too!)

The Cywgin versions of patch/wget work fine. Users *MUST* re-apply NTFS permissions though to the patched files, since they'll be wrong afterwords.

If you download the 0.8.7d tarball today does it already have these patches incorporated?

What exactly do you mean by 'some searches will result in invalid search parameters'?

Please be precise in citing. I don't know what you are referring to

This, I think:

I applied the Windows pre-patched files, and this particular issue still exists.

Although it is now intermittent.

Things like this will happen:

c:/rrdtool-1.2.30/rrdtool.exe create \
C:/cacti-0.8.7b/rra/ms1_traffic_in_257.rrd \
--step 300 \
DS:traffic_in:COUNTER:600:0: 100000000 \
DS:traffic_out:COUNTER:600:0: 100000000 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:797 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:600 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797 \

The space before the 100000000 will cause the rrd to not be created.

What is bizarre is that if you delete and recreate the exact same graph enough times, randomly one will generate the correct line without the spaces.
