Plugins for Windows Platform

[sphillips237]

Greetings,

I am trying to get the following plugins to work correctly. The pluggins are monitor, realtime, thold and weathermap.

Here are the procedures ran thus far
* Download\UnZipped\Moved cactiplugin-0.8.7h-PA-v3.0.tar.gz files to
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti

* At prompt typed mysql -u root -p (pwd) cacti < c:\pa.sql

* Unzip the following plugins and moved the directories to
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\monitor
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\realtime
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\thold
and etc.....

After completing the steps above, I went to User Management and re-comfirmed the admin account has rights to all the plugins. The plugins have check marks beside them. However; I am still unable to find the notification list and if I'm correct, after enabling the plugins, additional tabs are suppose to be present as well. The tabs in question are Thold, Monitor and Realtime. The weathermap tab is visible...

plugin specific question, thus moving to the correct forum.

Since you have the weathermap tab visible, this at least is an indication that PA is properly installed/configured.

1) are you sure those plugins are enabled?
2) checked the user account's permissions if the plugins need to be granted?

Ok, lets focus on the monitor (monitor-v1.3.1.tgz) plugin.

After unzipping the file above, I place the monitor directory into c:\inetpub\wwwrooot\cacti\plugins directory. After moving the directory to the plugins directory, I immediately went to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\include directory and added
$plugins[] = 'monitor'; within this file.

I can tell you this and maybe this information will assist you with pointing me to the right direction. When I opened the config.php file, I added the following lines

/* load up old style plugins here */
$plugins = array();
$plugins = 'monitor';
$plugins = 'weathermap';

On that note, I am aware of adding the plugin statement that will reflect the plugin name declared in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\plugins directory. But, the commented line and the $plugins = array(); lines where not present in the config.php file so I added them manually. Could this be an indication that something was not installed\configured correctly. Most of the forums instruct the implementation of plugins for linux base machines. I am running windows and the plugin implementation should be similar to linux plugin implementation.

In closing, after implementing a plugin should each plugin create a tab independent of each other and should the config.php file have the comment line and the $plugins =array(); statements pre-defined within config.php??

There's no need to add the plugin statements into the config.php file.

Remove these lines and check the Plugin Management link on your Cacti webpage. You can enable these plugins from that page.

If you do not see the "Plugin Management" link, make sure your user has the appropriate Realm permission to see it.

Ok I went to the config.php file and removed the files below..

/* load up old style plugins here */
$plugins = array();
$plugins[] = 'monitor';
$plugins[] = 'mobile';
$plugins[] = 'realtime';
$plugins[] = 'thold';
$plugins[] = 'weathermap';

I loggged in clicked on the Plugin Management Link and enabled the Monitor, mobile, weathermap, realtime and thold plugins. I see the weathermap tab; but i do not see a monitor, mobile and realtime, and thold tabs. I have also notice that when i select a device, place a check in the monitor box and click save. The monitor box is unchecked!!

What the heck!!!

[sphillips237]

Never mind I figured it out the enabling and disabling tab is misleading. I thought the plugins where enabled and they where not!!

Sorry

[phalek]

So it's working now ?

Greetings,

I have a couple of question. The questions are,

Can I separate my graphs via category (ex. Server Cpu\Server RAM\Server Throughput)
Why is it my host randomly reflect an incorrect status and during a reboot, I do not receive a notification.

I have the correct plugins installed and configured. I can also send myself a test message from the Mail\DNS tab. All host have monitoring enabled and are set to send messages to the Global list. Unforunately, I am not receiving any notifications.
