Looking for a way to search a device in URL string

<a href="https://servername/cacti/graph.php?acti ... raph_id=69">

Is there a way to do something simlar to the above code but use a search based on a hosts name and or IP as entered in the "Hostname" field of a device in cacti??

I ask this as I would like to pass this through a netcool right click tool based on the IP address and have it pull up the graph tree view in a new window. I can do the netcool part to pass everything I need via URL but wanted to know if I would search cacti like that via the hostname field.

Not directly.

What I would do is look at the preview page instead - https://servername/cacti/graph.php?acti ... &host_id=1

That page uses the host id. It wouldn't be that difficult to create a plugin or just hack the code to allow for hostname instead of host_id

It is already build into Cacti:
Try:

<a href="https://servername/cacti/graph_view.php ... lter=<your host name or search string comes here>>


There is one issue with this approach: If there are multiple pages of graphs, you may not be able to select the next page for whatever reason.

AHH OK thanks Hack.. will give that a try ans see if that is what I am looking for

So that will only filter on what is present in a "graph" and not a specific hostname as specified in the device properties it would appear.

I'd be OK if every one of my graphs has the hostname in it as opposed to description.... but I need the hostname.. drats! Linegod - I will be looking into your suggestion as well but the I do not see in the graph.php where it even calls out hsot_id...

[Linegod]

Look at graph_view.php, not graphs.php

You pretty much have to pass a new variable (hostname) to graph_view.php, then create a function that sets host_id based on hostname.

OK - will give it a try - Can always backup the existing file right?? LOL!

Not 100% sure but I will see if I can look at some examples in the file and give it a shot. i appreciate the direction.

If you have any sugesstions on how or what to do please pass them aloing but I will start hacking away!
