Uptime plugin (reboot monitor)

[rdege]

badler161,

I was able to get partial success with the plugin, but it required abandoning uptime-0.4 and using uptime-hj.

I used the host.php in the "uptime-hj/patch files" directory as a template to patch the 0.8.7d host.php file. It was easier than I expected, and it resulted in about 90% functionality. I now have the Uptime menu tab at the top, and the uptime of each device listed in the device list. I can enable/disable uptime using the toggle switch within each device's setup section.

The only problem that I haven't been able to fix is with the action drop down menu in the device list. I have duplicate entries for enabling/disabling uptime as well as enabling/disabling monitor. None of them work, and I haven't dedicated any time to fixing it since I can manually enable the feature in a device's setup section.

So for the most part, I'm happy with the results, and I like having the uptime listed in the device section. I haven't found a real use for the uptime menu tab at the top, but that feature can always be turned off.

Hope this helps

PS - Oh, column sort doesn't work properly either

Fatal error: Call to undefined function uptime_version() in /var/www/html/plugins.php on line 219

The Uptime plugin was written for an older version of the plugin architecture.


To fix this go into your uptime folder and edit the setup.php
Add the following lines

Code: Select all

function uptime_version() {
 return plugin_uptime_version();
}

Once that is done you need to install/enable the plugin in general and for the specific user.

I got the plugin int he plugin directory and i edited the global.php file to get the plugin in a running status, but no tab. PA is 2.4 Cacti is 0.8.7d

I haven't found a real use for the uptime menu tab at the top, but that feature can always be turned off.

Once you start logging reboots, it becomes useful to spot that customers really have rebooted the CPE when you asked them to, or to spot that the device gets it's power pulled every night that the cleaner is there (we actually had this one - they unplugged the UPS to plug in a vacuum cleaner!).

i entered that code in to the setup.php file and now when i refresh my cacti page the page doesn't load.
what do you think is going on?

i can see that the uptime is being pulled. i still for some reason cant get the uptime tab.
does anyone have any thoughts.

Has anyone had luck with this plugin? I'm running Cacti 0.8.7e, and with the help of zgamer's instructions above I was able to fix my setup.php installation problem. And now it shows as installed, I have an Uptime tab. And I've made sure that my account has access to Uptime, and I've added some devices to be checked for Uptime. But the Uptime tab remains an empty list. And poller only shows: 01/15/2010 12:00:06 PM - UPTIME: Poller[0] Checking uptime

Any help would be appreciated.
