ahh you lazy people

transporter plugin is called and executed in the following manner:

1.

Code: Select all

$plugin_hooks['poller_output']['transporter'] = 'transporter_poller_output';

2.

Code: Select all

function transporter_poller_output ($rrd_update_array){ 
transporter_process($dbtable,$dbhistcycles,&$rrd_update_array);
}

3.

Code: Select all

function transporter_process($dbtable,$hcycles,$data) {
    if (empty($data))
	if ($debug) cacti_log("TRANSPORTER: wrong or no data", TURE, "TRANSPORTER");
}

you have empty input data on 2.
anything in apache error log, something like "call-by-referrence is deprecated"?

[zoemu]

I have a similar problem as the first entry in this thread. I get a blank window when I try to run "graph without rrd" in Internet Explorer, it work ok with Firefox.... any special setting on IE.....I need to get this going please.


Thank You

Has anyone had good success using this plugin an using a tool like Crystal Reports to report on Data?

Havent tried it with Crystal Reports - theoretically it should work.
I've just tried host this plugin works on latest cacti release with PA 2.8 and found that it doesn't display chart correctly (no problems with DB however).

I've attached a patch to original post - please apply it.

[angusma]

I'm using Transporter plugin to export data to MYSQL, just wonder how to convert raw data into Mbits. What is the formula? Thanks.

[johnrembo]

you should take a look at node_stats.php, line 228 (function node_stats)

in theory it's more than simple, hoever due to resetting counters - some extra logic is necessary.

here's a sample calculation - run it on your server:

Code: Select all

<?php

//node_stats.php, continued from line:286

$alerts=array();
$polling_interval=300;

//static $counters array - in node_stats.php it will be made based on SQL data
$counters=array(
    'traffic_in'=>array(
        10000,
        12349,
        15949,
        28375,
        39854,
        48572,
        61293
    ),
    'traffic_out'=>array(
        845737372,
        948273735,
        1029348758,
        1234959483,
        1583838284,
        1622263633,
        1728028571
    )
);

    foreach ($counters as $id => $curr_counters) {
        $alerts[$id]['hi']='false';
        $alerts[$id]['low']='false';
        foreach ($curr_counters as $ind => $value) {
            if ($ind==0) continue;
            //several lines below are borrowed from thold plugin
            $curr_val =( ($value >= $curr_counters[$ind-1]) ? $value - $curr_counters[$ind-1] :
                                ( ($curr_counters[$ind-1] > 4294967295) ? (18446744073709551615 - $curr_counters[$ind-1]) + $value :
                                    (4294967295 - $curr_counters[$ind-1]) + $value ) )*8/$polling_interval;
            $traffic['data'][$id][] = intval(round($curr_val,2));

            if ($type=='traffic') {
                if ($curr_val > $upper_lim*$high_breach) {
                    $alerts[$id]['hi']='true';
                }
                if ($curr_val <= $lower_lim*$low_breach) {
                    $alerts[$id]['low']='true';
                }
            }

        }
    }
print_r($traffic);
?>

and here's an output (Mbps):

Code: Select all

Array
(
    [data] => Array
        (
            [traffic_in] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 62
                    [1] => 96
                    [2] => 331
                    [3] => 306
                    [4] => 232
                    [5] => 339
                )

            [traffic_out] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 2734303
                    [1] => 2162000
                    [2] => 5482952
                    [3] => 9303434
                    [4] => 1024675
                    [5] => 2820398
                )

        )

)

but please note - above example is for COUNTER data type. Different data templates use different logic, which depends on data source type (GAUGE, COUNTER, DERRIVE).

Full model is implemented in zond plugin - you should look at it's source, unfortunately - it fetches data from *.rrd, not from SQL (transporter).

Alternatively you could analyze thold plugin source

Good morning,

I´ve installed Transporter plugin to our Cacti. Congratulations, by the way. Very simple solution to something Cacti didn´t have. I´d like to know what´s the limit of cycles Transporter can hold.

I´d be very glad if you could help me. Thank you.

Thanks,

Your going to need to give much more information then that to get any help. You didn't tell us OS. You didn't tell us the name of the folder you used for the tranporter folder (it has to be exact, including case), you didn't tell us if you checked the permissions or not of the folder and all files underneath. You also said you put it in
cactipath/plugin/
but "plugin" isn't right, it should be "plugins"

[desscartes]

Sorry about my short information ,

My OS Cenotos, I am using cacti 0.8.8a

I copy transporter file under <cactipath>/plugins.I give permission that folder like my other plugins.
My other plugins are working correctly.
And I add command below to global.php which path is <cactipath>/include

Code: Select all

$plugins[] = 'transporter';

But I can not see plugin on "Plugin Management" or Thresold gui on cacti.

Thanks for your help

[cigamit]

$plugins[] = 'transporter';

Shouldn't that be in config.php instead of global.php?

Please post a screen shot from your plugins directory. Do an "ls -la"

[desscartes]

Thank you for your response cigamit,
