The Cacti Group is proud to announce the release of version 2.9 of the Plugin Architecture!

Version 2.9 is designed to work with Cacti 0.8.7g.

Is this supposed to be posted to cactiusers.org as well? I stumbled across this in the forums and hadn't seen it on that site yet.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll flag them next time

Is there a reason the links at http://cactiusers.org/downloads/patches/ have not been updated with 2.9?

2.8 appears to not work very well at all with 0.8.7g and it appears most disro's now are distributing 0.8.7g...

Am i missing something?

thanks...

Additionally, it appears that some of the fixes/files have changed since this patch was released, and newer versions of mysql have stopped supporting the syntax 'TYPE=MyISAM' as used in the pa.sql creation.

I checked out the latest poller.php from SVN and the patch fails on it. It appears to be a line that was fixed in the source (spacing before = sign)


patching file poller.php
Hunk #2 succeeded at 306 (offset 1 line).
Hunk #3 FAILED at 431.
Hunk #4 succeeded at 453 (offset 3 lines).
Hunk #5 succeeded at 502 (offset 3 lines).
1 out of 5 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file poller.php.rej


The patch calls out this:

@@ -427,7 +431,7 @@

/* record the start time for this loop */
list($micro,$seconds) = explode(" ", microtime());
- $loop_end = $seconds + $micro;
+ $loop_end = $seconds + $micro;
$loop_time = $loop_end - $loop_start;

if ($loop_time < $poller_interval) {

however if we look at the svn poller, this change already appears to be integrated:
(rev 6298)

431 /* record the start time for this loop */
432 list($micro,$seconds) = explode(" ", microtime());
433 $loop_end = $seconds + $micro;
434 $loop_time = $loop_end - $loop_start;


As for the database import--
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 5: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYP
E=MyISAM' at line 12

With some research, this can be easily fixed by replacing instances of 'TYPE=' with 'ENGINE=' in pa.mysql


Just a heads up :)

We are in beta of 087h, which comes with PIA 3.0. 087h will fix the TYPE/ENGINE issue

I download the PIA 2.9 for my Windows Server 2008 Cacti Server. How do I apply the patch in that platform?

Thanks,

Nevermind, I read the PIA install instructions on the website. I will copy the pre-patched files.
