[doiggl]

Hello
How do I install the autom8 v0.35 plug-in into a cacti-0.8.7i with PIA-3.1 installed ?
I see these files in autom8 [1]
Which .patch's do I need to apply to a cacti-0.8.7i install
Thanks Glenn

Just rename the "Trunk" folder to "Autom8" and move it to your plugins folder. PIA should do the rest, I think the patches are for upgrading?

I did the above and its working fine on 0.8.7i (^.^)

Hope this helps.

[gandalf]

The patches were used for "old PIA releases" to provide the hooks required for AUTOM8. Newer PIAs do have all required hooks, so no more patches required

I did the following so far.
- Clean install of
# rpm -qa | grep -i cacti-PA
cacti-PA-0.8.7i-3.1.noarch

- rename the "Trunk" folder to "Autom8" and move it to the plugins folder
# ll autom8/

Question: What else do I do to get autom8 plugin to show up in the cacti interface ?
No plugin management is showing in cacti at all.

Thanks Glenn

Did you enable "Plugin Management" in Realm Permissions?

[doiggl]

Hello,
Thanks for the information.
The 'Plugin Management' was unticked in Console -> User Management -> (Edit), so I ticked it.
Logged out|in to cacti and then went to Console -> Plugin Management, then clicked on install plugin

Question:
What autom8 rules would you use to create traffic volume graphs for a adsl modem device plugged in using this method ? [1]
Thanks Glenn

# cd cacti/cli/
# php 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)

It's not any special use for that. See Autom8 manual.
