No graphs on reports with nmidCreatePDF

[torstentfk]

just a smal question: the Availibility Graph is only possible in the commercial version?

T.

[phalek]

yes, as the ChartDirector Graphing engine being used to create those charts does cost 600€ for a redistributable license ..
.. and there must be some sort of advantage of the commercial version over the free one ...

Hi Phalek,

Sorry but another another apache error with the latest build clicking on "NmidCreatePDF":

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function db_fetch_cell() in /usr/share/cacti/site/plugins/nmidCreatePDF/nmidCreatePDF_GenerateReports.php on line 51

[phalek]

I guess we'll need to schedule a remote session next week to look into this a bit further. but: can you delete the php files in the nmidCreatePDF dir and again replace it with the files from Build 46 ?

[catcha8]

Each time I disable, uninstall the plugin, remove the folder, copy the new one, install and enable.
If I revert to version 0.84, I don't have this problem.

Would you like a copy of my 0.84 version?

[phalek]

Wow, I won't ask for any further "low-level" tasks from you again

The plugin as provided to download is of no use for troubleshooting the source code, as all of the files are encrypted.

you could try the following: only put the createPDFReport... php flles and the functions.php from 0.85 over the 0.84 versions and check if the PDFs are generated then ...

[catcha8]

Don't worry, I really appreciate your help.

I followed your instruction, no more apache error but pdf created always named "\.pdf" with the following content :

<b>FPDF error:</b> Undefined font: B

[phalek]

Ok, i guess now it is easier to postpone this until next week. So we can have a remote session to work on this issue.

It's probably something really trivial which we both overlook.

Is there any special time/day when you have time for a remote session ?

[catcha8]

No problem, just give me instructions through private message.
I will arrange to find time.

Regards

Hi,

Could you try Build 50 ?

Hi Phalek,

Just tried with build 50 and 51.

With both, I'm getting back to the initial situation of this thread. PDF are well generated with no graph in them. The apache error is as follow:

Code: Select all

sh: .parallelGraphRetriever.exe: not found

[phalek]

Good, backt o the roots then

I changed the OS detection mode in Build 52. Can you try this one ?

And make sure you do not have a parallelGraphRetriever.exe file in the nmidCreatePDF dir. just the Linux version ( which does not have a .exe at the end )

[catcha8]

Yes! It works wonderfully now.
Thank you so much for the hard work, this plugin is really excellent.

Regards

[phalek]

Fine.

Just for your information: The current v1.0 RC1 Build 48 does not include those changes, so don't use it right now

I am going to release a newer build this week after I got some confirmation on it's windows compatibility.

I found now that when I click on an image and generate the pdf report from there (graph.php), the report works and I get the graphs correctly in the pdf.
But generating the report from graph_view.php I get always a blank report.

Anyone an idea?

I have the same issue. I'm running cacti 0.8.8a with CereusReporting 2.10.66.

My apache error_log says:

Panic: '/usr/lib64/perl5/CORE/libperl.so' is not an ActivePerl 5.14 library

When I open the pdf file says:

%PDF-1.4
