WinXP-Win8, Win2000-Server 2012 x32/x64 Templates

[james.waite]

The first steps would be to download the verions of the templates you want to use and extract them.

You then need to copy the snmp_informant_*.xml files to your <cacti_path>/resource/snmp_queries directory.


Then select Import templates from the console menu. Select the data query you want to import via the browse button, and select the save button.


The next screen will show the import results.


Then select 'Devices' nad the device you which to monitor, at the bottom of this screen you'll see 'Associated data Queries'. Select the query you want to add and select the add button.


If this is successful, you should see


At this point you can select 'Create Graphs for this Host' as the top of this screen.

Select the Data Query you wish to graph, the graph type from the dropdown box, and select create.

That should do it.

hi james,

thank you for your detail screenshot.

i have checked the rights on all the files inside /var/www/html/cacti/resource/snmp_queries...it is the same with ur screenshot.

what it's missing is that when i import the template from web,it didnt show the import result as per your import2.jpg.It just brings back to the import page...no error.


do you what is the cause?Please assist..

I've insatlled the v7 templates and XML files.

All the data queries work, except for disk statistics which debug information is below.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Code: Select all

+ Running data query [11].
+ Unknown type = ''
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/html/resource/snmp_queries/snmp_informant_disk.xml'

I have seen this a few times before and all it took was restarting the SNMP Service on the WIndows Box.

[james.waite]

I've tries that, even a reboot of the box.

Could it be the version of SNMP Informant? I've got 1.6 installed.

[G0dSmack]

Using 1.6 here as well.

[james.waite]

I managed to fix it.

Although the Data query was avaliable for selection and appeard on the device screen, it did not appear under Collection Methods | Data Queries.

I imported the xml again and it worked.

I am having this exact same issue. Running Cacti 0.8.7b on Ubuntu Server Jaunty 9.04

I have the data sources setup but the templates will not import. They don't error out either. They do nothing.

[G0dSmack]

I am using CactiEZ. Takes 10 minutes to install and it just works!

Version: Version 0.8.7a

Its probably because the templates are for a later verison of Cacti.

I'm on 0.8.7b and i can only import the earliest template that has been posted. The current version gives me a hash error.

Is this a new problem in Sp2 ? Because it certainly works in Sp1.
