ConfigStore Plugin

[chadd]

Hi Chadd!!

When I put the configstore directory in cacti/plugins, I can see the same trouble in my browser.

Please, could you help me?

Thanks in advance!!

Sure. Can you give me a list of all the other plugins you have? Also, keep sending updates if you can today, and we will get the problem resolved. Thanks.

Of course chadd! I have these plugins:

Monitor 1.2
Mactrack 2.9
Settings 0.7
Weathermap 0.97a
Superlinks 0.8
Thold 0.4.2

My Cacti version is 0.8.7g and my Plugin Architecture is 2.9.

Thanks for your prompt response!

Please try the latest version (0.5). I found that the settings plugin was also using a function called 'send_mail'. I made a few other bug fixes as well.

Thanks a lot chadd!! Sadly, now I have this warning message when I click over ConfigStore/Device Types:

Code: Select all

opendir(/var/www/cacti/plugins/configstore/lib) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /usr/share/cacti/plugins/configstore/functions.php on line 432.

opendir(/var/www/cacti/plugins/configstore/lib) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /usr/share/cacti/plugins/configstore/functions.php on line 432.

There is a line in configstore_device_types.php that reads:

$backup_scripts_dir = "/var/www/cacti/plugins/configstore/lib";

Make sure that is your path to the directory - likely it is not.. (I will fix this in the morning and release new code).

If yours is the same than make sure that the webserver has permissions to read and write to directories in configstore. I usually do:

chown -R 'webserver user':'some group' configstore

For me it is like this:

sudo chown -R www-data:netdev configstore

www-data is the user the webserver runs as, and netdev is the group I put myself and anyone else who wants to edit files in.

Then I give write access to the group like this: chmod -R g+w configstore

If that does not fix it, let me know. Look for new code tomorrow.

Thanks again chadd, it solves my problem! In addition, I guess $log_file needs to be changed in configstore/lib/logger.class.php and configstore/include/logger.class.php

[chadd]

Thanks! I will take a look through the code again when I get a chance and try to eliminate any "hard coded" paths. Glad it is working for you! There will be a lot of future additions, as soon as I can find the time in my schedule.

Thanks chadd! I guess you should change the below piece of code in setup.php:

Code: Select all

function configstore_version () {
        return array(
                'name'      => 'ConfigStore',
                'version'   => '0.6',               <== it was 0.5

I need some help on getting this working. I am new to Cacti, but understand it fairly well. I installed your plugin .7 version, configured up the setting in Configuration->Settings->ConfigStore. Added an account, Site and Device (Cisco ASA). I click on backup, and nothing happens, light turns red and says failed.

Is there any type of debugging i can see what is going on? I am not getting any logs in the plugins/configstore/logs folder, and when i TCPDUMP the interface for the host I am trying to backup, I see no traffic as if the program is not starting the backup process.

Thanks for the help.

[chadd]

There should be a little magnifying glass icon next to the little red dot. Click on that, and you can see what the problem was. Let me know what it says (if it doesn't makes sense to you) and I will try to help you fix the problem.
