CaMM (Cacti Message Management) plugin v1.6.7 2010-08-26

[smlick]

Smlick,

First of all - almost always errors in camm appear after the message:

12/21/2009 12:13:00 AM - POLLER: Poller[0] WARNING: Scheduled Task is out of sync with the Poller Interval! The Poller Interval is '300' seconds, with a maximum of a '300' second Scheduled Task, but 120 seconds have passed since the last poll!

So I think what you need first to correct this error.

Secondly, after this in the settings tab's of camm set [debug mode] to enable and after that PM me log again.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and thanks again for your work on this plugin and your precious support.

Regards
Alessio

Thanks, but in Russia Christmas celebrate on January 7

So I wish you a Merry Christmas.

I correct the problem about the poller interval that exceed 300 seconds but the problem is still there.
I sent you a PM with cacti.log and CAMM in debug.


Regards
Alessio

Hi,

Is it possible to add new column in camm syslog columns? For example i would like to see a service id which parsed from router`s interface description field.

Detailed:

I got a map table which contains all my routers,switches names and its interface descriptions. In the description i got the service id which is the unique key to generate trouble tickets and to see in filtered alarms which service is corresponds to it and what service affected.

If I add a new field in plugin_camm_syslog table how can i see this field in the web frontend? Is it possible?
The description filed now is the host group template name so i have to use a new one.

Another question is how can i insert this extra data every time when a syslog or snmp trap comes in? I thought to set a filter which run a script every time when a message comes and do the necessary queries in map table and insert the service id in the new filed but how will this affect cacti`s polling performance?

thx

Hi,

thanks for your support

I can add an additional field, which will be hidden by default

I see 2 options - either create a rule (set "execute user function") and use your own php function - to be called with the main Poller or create a stored procedure in mysql - it will be executed every time new message added in DB.

An additional field will be handy, than I can try one of the two solutions you mentioned.
Thanks!

Hi,

is there a solution for the ie problem? Camm 1.6.5 doesn't work with ie 6, 7 & ie 8.
There is a problem with camm_view.php

Hi,
i'm new Camm user. I used to collect syslog message with syslog plugin 0.5.2 and working well. Now i want to migrate on Camm. I've succefully install it from plugin management console (see image cacti_db). Now I can't understand how to inject syslog message collect using kiwi syslog daemon with ODBC connector to Camm plugin.
I've created syslog DB with following commands:
*mysqladmin --user=root -p create syslog
*mysql -u root -p syslog < C:\Apache2\htdocs\cacti\plugins\syslog\syslog.sql (see image syslog_db)
*mysql --user=root --password
**mysql> GRANT ALL ON syslog.* TO <cacti_dbuser>@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '<cacti_dbpass>';
**mysql> flush privileges;
**mysql> exit

In Camm settings, i've pass "Use Syslog" to "true" and try to pass "syslog db name" to "syslog" & "syslog incoming table" to "syslog_incoming"

Questions:
* witch table need to be present in syslog db
* what is the syslog message format to inject (see image kiwi_syslog)
* how and where create plugin_camm_syslog_incoming

Thanks

guitou,
Unnecessary to separately create any database / tables. After installing the plug-in creates all necessary tables in the database cacti, need only to configure kiwi write data in this database:
1. Create filter / rule in kiwi
2. Create and configure data link connection string
3/ Create custom db formats

Hi gthe,

Thank you for this wonderful plugin and support

[guitou]

Thanks

I try to "execute user function" but all I can see in the drop down menu list is fixed test functions. (see attached pic)
How can I use this? I can`t find scripts with this name in plugin camm dir or in cacti resource dir.
Is it possible to add my own scripts` path?

thx
