Report on what Devices are being monitored

[mdipofi]

Hi, I am new to Cacti and was tasked to find out what devices are being monitored. I know I can go into monitor and manually pull out the data and put it in an excel spreadsheet. Is there a report or script out there than can pull the names of the devices and IP address of the devices being monitored?

Thank you in advance

ReportIt or nectar plugins come to mind. Otherwise a simple SELECT from the cacti device table will also suffice.

Best would be to use the scripts in the cli directory. E.g. http://docs.cacti.net/manual:087:6_refe ... _add_graph using the --list-hosts option
R.

I thank you both for the information provided. I have installed ReportIt since I am not good at CLI..but it also appears that I am not good at adding in plugins.

I don't see the the section under templates called Report Templates.

I have modified the /cacti/include/global.php
and added $plugins[] = 'reportit';

after extracting the reportit file in the plugin folder. I even reboot the server just in case. Still a no show. Is there something else I might be missing.

Thank you.

In general you do not have to reboot your server for the installation of plugins. Use the plugin management console to install ReportIt. The old PIA 1.x installation routine is longer supported by that plugin.

is there a work around for it..or just doesn't work and not to spend any more time on it

Remove that line

Code: Select all

$plugins[] = 'reportit'

from global.php and it will show up again in the management console.

If it's a simple tab delimited file and you want to load into Excel, do the following:

Code: Select all

mysql -e "select id, description, hostname from host" cacti > hosts.csv

Download to your Winders box and open. It should be tab delimited.
