Cacti inside another application

Post by sessizlik »

Hi,

I would like to integrate cacti and our backoffice application. Is it possible to utilize cacti stats inside another application? For example a restful api could be great...

Thanks

There are generally two steps.

1) Enabling the guest account followed by
2) Using the graph_image.php call from any graphs page on you BO app.

You simply have to know the syntax. To do this, install FireFox, and use the Firebug add on to review the graph_image.php calls and syntax.

It's pretty easy.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
