CereusReporting - PDF Reports - 4.00 for Cacti 1.x out soon!

[jhariti]

Hi everybody, (Best Wishes)

I have an issue to print a specific graphic from CACTI.
At the top of the selected device I can print all graphics in one PDF document, but for a specific graphic for instance CPU utilisation of the selected device I can't print it (hourly, daily, monthly & yearly).
*** Error opening the file tmp/100.png ***
I have already check the tmp directory under the plugin directory nmidCreatePDF (chmod 777 & chown by web user) and did all necessary check & troubleshooting by reading all the information provided by the CACTI's Forum & FAQ's nmid but without succes.

Can I somebody provide me please the trick or tip. Thanks in advance.

!!!! One more question is it a way to disable the footer at the PDF document for the free edition ***- Created with nmidCreatePDF plugin. (c) 2009 by Urban-Software.de. Free Version*** ???

Hm, can you provide some details on which version you are using ?

Is it possible to have a remote session ( e.g. using TeamViewer or gotomeeting ) ? it's way easier to have a look at the system itself ...

For the footer, sure: invest 50€ and buy the Pro version ...

The cacti server is behind a firewall. Unfortunately I can't give you remote access to the server via other alternative due to confidentiality aspect...

Thanks for your understanding.

[phalek]

I wouldn't mind to sign any NDA ... but that's ok. Do you have any other way of communicating e.g. skype, icq, msn, yahoo or such things ?

[phalek]

So, jhariti i would ask you to try the 0.7 version. Then try the following:

Code: Select all

php create_image.php 246 0 1262123000 1262126850 100 800 > image.png

download that png file and try to view it. If the image is a cacti graph, then there still may be some permission errors. If not, then something else is not working correctly and I have to guess arround ... or look into the png file as an error message might be in there ( cat image.png )

[jhariti]

OK phalek,
I will try the new release and keep you informed ...

Thanks for your great support. If I still have the same issue with the new release I will try to communicate with you via messenger or other tools to clarify more the error. Thanks & Best wishes.

hi guy,
i have this incredible plugin on my production installation ... and it works well ... now i'm implementing a second server for another portion of network ... all the modules are installed correctly, the pdf in generated but is empty.

on my web server i have this error :

[error] [client x.x.x.x] PHP Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/cacti/plugins/nmidCreatePDF/createPDFReport.php on line 428, referer: https://patroclo/cacti/graph_view.php?a ... af_id=1976

[phalek]

which version are you using, 0.7 ?

[zorrosam]

... for resume.

the problem on the post is on an enivroment with :

cacti 0.87d
spine
plugin arch 2.4
nmidPDF 0.3a2

I have tested the last version, 0.7, on my test server ....

cacti 0.87e
spine
plugin arch 2.6
nmidPDF 0.7

with this release after the installation/activation cacti doesn't start ... the screen remain blank and the web server doesn't respond. I have no error in this case on my web server. If i delete the folder of the plugin nmidPDF ver 0.7 the test installation works again!

... so ... two problems at the attention of the community.

please HELP

Zorro

Thats ok if the screen is blank, this just means that a constant has already been defined which should not have been. ( in that case it is "EDITION" ).

Try running e.g. "php createPDFReport.php" what kind of errors does that bring up with version 0.7 ?

If possible, can I have a look into your test system to check what's wrong ? I can priovide details for having a remote session ....

[zorrosam]

sorry i can do that (remote access)

if i execute manually the php i obtain the same error of the web server
