HA7Net scripts for Cacti

[psyber]

The below zero fix is posted above.

I no longer have access to this equipment for any further development and I'm a bit suprised that it works with the newer firmware (past updates broke my code)
Any chance someone can take this over?

Embedded Data Systems would be happy to supply you with a HA7Net and a few sensors to help continue the development. Please give us a call.

Thanks to David at Embedded Data Systems I'll soon have some equipment to continue development on this. Please post up any feature requests and check back in about a month for updated scripts.

Hi Psyber,

Any plans to add support for other devices like the Multi-sensors (temp+current, temp+light, etc ...) from iButtonslink.com in the near future?

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 and cacti. Seems to be OK, but I don't know, since I never have used it before. Downloaded the ha7net.zip here. Tried for many hours over 3 days, but nothing makes since. a set-by-stepo guide would be nice. All I wnt to do is monitor and graph a few ibutton temperatures. What does Cisco CPU usage have to do with anything? Or Karlnet wireless bridge stats? What should be the directory structure? In otherwords, where do I put each of the files that are in the zip file downloaded here? What else is in thoes directories, so I can tell which directory to put each file in? Maybe my version of cacti is different.. I don't know haow to tell the version. How do I create my graphs?

So, I tried Ubunti 2 years ago and found it didn't support Netgear dongle network card. Netgear must not be a big company. Deleted Ubuntu and went back to Windows.

Now I would like to monitor, record, graph, and print temperature reading from 6 to 10 locations. ibuttons look ideal so bought several, and HA7Net 1-wire Ethernet Bus Master. Never heard of cacti before, except in Arizona desert, but looked ideal.

Bought a 3-com network pci card and installed it in a P4 machine. Installed Ubuntu 9.10, and used this link instructions to install cacti.

Worked like a charm. Ubuntu and cacti running great. downloaded the ha7net.zip file above and unzipped it on a usb drive. Looked at the directory structure on the Ubuntu system.... very strange.

Have usr/local/share/cacti/resource and usr/local/share/cacti/scripts

and usr/share/cacti/resource/script_queries and usr/share/cacti/resource/script_server and usr/share/cacti/resource/snmp_queries

Don't know where to put the files from the ha7net.zip, but when I tried to copy files, did not have permissions. Only created one user, and read somewhere that first user created had admin rights. Folder in cacti shows owner as root and staff group. Who is that? Must be I did something wrong so deleted Ubuntu partition and started over. Identical results. Must be I'm just plain stupid, so deleted Ubuntu partition again and started over again. Same results third time.

Researched internet (using Windows) and found how to change 'root' password. Changed it and now I can copy and edit files. Tried several combinations of editing path and finally got device to find ha7net, but can't find ha7net graph template. Copied so many files to so many directories, that I deleted partitions again. Reinstalled again Ubuntu and cacti. Waiting on someone to help. DOS and Windows was never this hard.

Read some manuals online abut setting us cacti, but very confusing. Also, in the above jpg, what does cisco cpu usage have to do with this? Am I not looking for some reference like ha7net?

[psyber]

Somehow I missed the posts, been quite busy with life in general and haven't had any time to do much of anything. as for multi-sensors if they work with the ha7-net I will support them.

bubbadeere, I'll try and make the directions a bit more clear. You should familiarize yourself a bit with cacti (And probably linux if you intend to run cacti on linux) . The cacti docs can be found here: http://www.cacti.net/documentation.php

BTW the scripts were originally developed on a windows install of cacti so they should in theory still work on windows if you want to go that route.
