Hi gandalf

I'm having some issues with Autom8 that I am hoping you will be able to help me with.

I'm currently using v0.33 with graph creation working wonderfully. However, I have hit a problem with Tree Creation :(

Problem 1
Manual kick off for tree creation is not working. Refer to screenshot 1, 2 and 3 attached. Nothing in cacti.log either...

When a graph is created, the Tree Rules seems to run and a tree item is created. However, nothing shows in cacti.log

Problem 2
When the tree item is created, an incorrect name is used. Refer to screenshot 4 for rule info.

Now the name used for the new heading is for another graph, not the graph just created. It's like Autom8 is looking at the wrong graph.title_cache entry...

When debugging the rule item (show created trees) the search and replace patterns are working as expected.

Things to note:

-The following two options are ticked in Settings > Misc
Enable Autom8 Graph Creation
Enable Autom8 Tree Item Creation

-No Autom8 Tree Creation actions go in the log, including when it works (when a tree item is created on graph creation).

-There are Autom8 log entries when graphs are created, automatically and when manually forced (Apply Autom8 rules to a device)


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards
Kyle

You are using a THOLD version that has a bug when handling a certain hook (or perhaps a different plugin with the same problem). That's why the confirmation dialogue is empty.
To increase logging, you will find some commented statements that look like

Code: Select all

#cacti_log(...)
Remove the "#" to get more info into the log

AUTOM8 will log quite a lot when using MEDIUM logging level. grep for "AUTOM8" in cacti.log!

Is there a possibilty if some Ports go down (shutdown etc), that autom8 can delete the graphs?

Not yet. I already thought about deleting stuff. But I wonder how we prevent accidential deleting stuff when e.g. a port is flapping.
Do you have an idea how to prevent that? E.g. counting a certain amount of polling times before deleting?

How about a mix between the fields "status_event_count" and "status_fail_date"?

Hi all,

The graph part run great by me but I've a problem with the tree rules.

In fact I see my already existing trees, but not the subtrees. I've only "ROOT".

Have I missed something?

Thank you for you help,

Vince

I'm just debugging some part of that code with the help of a cacti user.
But it all depends an the type of tree rules you're using. So at least a scrennshot of the rule itself and another one of the "estimated" results is required.
I would be able to provide you with a debug version that spits out lots of informations to track any problem down. Please email or pm if you're interested.

Hi Gandalf,

Thank you for your reply.

You'll find attached some screeshoot that will explain my problem

As you can see my tree as some subtree branch but I'm not able to "see" them in the tree rules menu.

I've found an error message in cacti log each times that I go in tree rules page:

Code: Select all

05/31/2010 02:24:16 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] ERROR: SQL Assoc Failed!, Error:'1064', SQL:"select graph_tree_items.id, graph_tree_items.title, graph_tree_items.order_key from graph_tree_items where graph_tree_items.graph_tree_id=|arg1:tree_id| and graph_tree_items.title != '' order by graph_tree_items.order_key"
It seems that we have an mysql syntax error. Maybe here: graph_tree_items.graph_tree_id=|arg1:tree_id|.

I found this code in setup.php line 581 & 616

I will help you with debug version without problem. This plugin is what I've waited since long (~ 3000 devices in my cacti and lots of scripts to automate this).

Regards,

Vince

Thanks for the pointer.
Part of the problem was already solved but introduced a new problem. I currently have some debugging code that still is not correct but I need time for coding ...

Hi,

Just tell me if I can help for something, I'll give so much help that I can.

Unfortunately I only know perl thus php isn't really easy to debug for me.

Please use RSS feed for the plugin site to get informed as soon as a new version shows up. Perhaps I'll post a beta before official release

Please try attached code. It's not complete, but should solve the original problem. Still, there is at least one known error. So don't use it on a production system
