Network Management Integration Plugin ( v0.3.9a Build 129 )

[equick]

Thanks Phalek. I had already changed the urls in the wsdl files to my own server (that's why you can see getSmokePing,pl calling my server in the access log above). The GET requests seem to respond ok, but the POSTs fail. No errors are logged in error_log and I have switched error_log on in php.ini, but still no errors there either.

[phalek]

what happens if you call that "webservice.php" file directly using your browser ?

Also, did oyu setup a webservice password or do you not see the NMID tab in the Settings page at all ?

I just get a blank page. Should I be adding something on the end of that file in the url?

Also, did oyu setup a webservice password or do you not see the NMID tab in the Settings page at all ?

Unfortunately I still can't seen the NMID tab in Settings, and I have installed the patched html_tree from the site at:
http://redmine.nmid-plugins.de/attachme ... _PIA28.tgz

I'm starting to get confused about this Do I need to install v03_graph_087g_PIA28.tgz as well?

[phalek]

Ahhh... Did you install all of the following plugins:

nmid
nmidSmokeping
nmidWebService

? If not, install them and you should see the nmid tab. All of them are needed for nmidSMokeping to work.

Also, nmidSmokeping will create the target section for your smokeping config. The files are stored in the tmp dir (/tmp) once you added a device to it (NMID section -> Configure device ). But of course you're going to see this after the plugin(s) are installed and configured correctly.

[equick]

Thanks for sticking with me on this. Yes they're all installed. These are the contents of my plugins directory.

And in config.php I have :

Code: Select all

/* load up old style plugins here */
$plugins = array();
$plugins[] = 'weathermap';
$plugins[] = 'flowview';
$plugins[] = 'thold';
$plugins[] = 'discovery';
$plugins[] = 'nmid';
$plugins[] = 'nmidSmokeping';
$plugins[] = 'nmidWebService';

[phalek]

Odd,

If you call that url, you should be getting something like the following:

Code: Select all

SOAP-ENV:ServerBad Request. Can't find HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA

Do you have the php-soap module installed ?

Yes I do.

[root@www cgi-bin]# php -m | grep soap
soap

Could you just confirm http://redmine.nmid-plugins.de/attachme ... update.tgz is the correct file for the nmid base plugin please? I have resintalled this but still can't see the tab in cacti settings.

[phalek]

yes, that's fine.

Does the plugin management page show the plugins as installed and enabled ? this is really odd ...

[equick]

No it only shows these ones:

[phalek]

Just read an earlier post from you:

With PIA 2.8, you do not need to have the plugins array in config.php any more. you can comment it out and enable/install PIA 1.x and 2.x plugins from the plugin management page.

What you could try is to change the load order. Especially put thold at the last place to load as it does contain an error and prevents other plugins to work correctly ...

[equick]

Brilliant! I commented out all the plugins in config.php and then they all displayed in plugin management and I was able to install the nmid plugins there. Thanks for all your help.

Ed.

Hi Phalek,

Sorry to bother you again. Could you help me out once more? I'm not why I don't see any smokeping graphs in cacti.

If I run getSmokePingPath.pl from the command I get this:

Code: Select all

[root@www cgi-bin]# ./getSmokePingPath.pl 
Content-type: image/png

These are my settings in getSmokePingPath.pl:

Code: Select all

my $webservice_password = 'mypass';
my $webservice_url = 'http://www.xxx.org/cacti/plugins/nmidWebService/webservice.php?wsdl';
my $tmp_dir = '/tmp/';

Download the createSmokePingConfig.pl script and confgure it to fit your installation.
Now let's assume you have your smokeping installation at /opt/smokeping.

Go on and change your smokeping config and remove everything from the target section.
Then rename the config to e.g. "config.header".
The script will take that file ( /opt/smokeping/etc/config.header ) and add the target section which it retrieves from the webservice.
Restart your smokeping installation.


The reason for this is that the path from the smokeping tool needs to match the path from Cacti. In your case for the example you provide the paths are:
Cacti: Default Tree -> cnn.com
Smokeping: Default_Tree.cnn.com

[equick]

Thanks. I followed your instructions and after running createSmokePingConfig.pl, it did append some hosts from the default tree although not the cnn.com example. I'm not sure if that was because I selected the proxy server instead of my web server.

Now I have new graphs headed under the default tree in smokeping, but still nowhere to be see in cacti.

Also, is the createSmokePingConfig.pl supposed to be run manually everytime we want to add smokeping graphs to cacti, or was that just a workaround?

Thanks for your help.
Ed.

[phalek]

cnn.com is probably skipped because of the extra dot in there. Rename the device to something else replacing the dots '.' .

Did you download and extract the replacement files for nmidSmokeping to work ?

You should see the extra graphs at the end of the Cacti tree. Can you provide a screenshot of that ?
