Autom8 -new device is not graphed

[doiggl]

I’ve installed the autom8 plug in , its enabled.
When I add a new device I don't see any new graphs.
Device added by cli command
# perl add_device.php --description="BiPAC 7401VGPR3" --ip=192.168.1.254 --template=1 --version=2 --community="public"
Adding BiPAC 7401VGPR3 (192.168.1.254) as "Generic SNMP-enabled Host" using SNMP v2 with community "public"
Success - new device-id: (2)

# perl add_graphs.php --list-hosts
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: plugins in /usr/share/cacti/include/plugins.php on line 31
PHP Warning: array_merge(): Argument #1 is not an array in /usr/share/cacti/include/plugins.php on line 31
Known Hosts: (id, hostname, template, description)
1 127.0.0.1 8 Localhost
2 192.168.1.254 1 BiPAC 7401VGPR3

Question: What else needs do be done or checked so the new device is graphed and new the graphs show up ?
Thanks Glenn

I can't reproduce this on my hand-installed cacti on F14. You're running a debian-style installation with a different file layout. So I fear that sth ugly happened. I will have to view at those files to verify (e.g. include/plugins.php, include/global.php and stuff)

Are you running unpatched or patches 087g? Which PIA are u using?
Yes, I know all this patching is really ugly. I may consider posting whole files, at least for both those modules.

The failing patches are a result of PIA that patches files that have already been patched.
This is why we "released" PIA 2.9. It's not the common way of releasing, yes.
Please see http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=40386

items to graph

[gandalf]

I do not understand.
Do you want to manually create the graphs or do you want to make autom8 do it for you?
Did you read the autom8 manual, then? Did you create the autom8 rules?
