Version: 0.2.2
Date: 23.06.2012


The idea of this plugin is born in the middel of the year 2011. The first version are not with the features that install automatic etc.
The real reason to start are to many devices and not enough time to polling.
With the feature that you can work virtual with cacti the eventualities are nearly endless. In this year i would create an plugin that you can use the multipollerserver on your own system. The reason that the plugin is only for unix is that the filehandel over NFS in unix is very fast and uncomplicated. If in the future are give an version for windows is not sure.

Now you can create one masterserver, he handel all the installed plugins and you can make all configurations of the system.
In my installation the database is on other server and all files are on an storage and mounted with NFS on the pollerserver.
The work of the pollerserver are easy ... polle the allotted device. . The real limit of pollerserver is only the hardware. My installation is on an range of vmware servers, so i can look at the feeling of the servers an i can create an new pollerser by copy an working server and to customize it.

So now enough spoken my me. Test the plugin an tell me your impression or wishes.

Features:

• One master take the main (plugin,configuration) work.
• A couple of pollerserver share the polling process.
• The Update is update ready.
• No existing data are lost on update.
• No existing data are lost on disable the plugin.
• One ore more variant configuration of sever or infrastructure are possible.
• VMWare installations are possible.

Roadmap:

• Fix any Bugs
• include an backup poller configuration on every pollerserver.
• more better features i think that update the plugin

Future:

• Cluster of mysqlserver.
• Make the plugin ready for work on split locations.

Hi,

I installed successfully your plugin in our test platform and it works .

However, I have an suggestion:
- Add a item in the dropbox on the device list page : host.php ( to adjust the pollerserver for a list of server in one time).

Moreover i can't use the masterserver (with id= 2) to poll some devices. I see in your code that you only display poller servers with id > 2. Why this choice? and how can i use all our servers to poll device ?

Thanks.

Hi,

You are the first user how say that the plugin is working on an other system.

Now to your suggestion

However, I have an suggestion:
- Add a item in the dropbox on the device list page : host.php ( to adjust the pollerserver for a list of server in one time).

Yes this is a feature that i will integrate in one of th next versions.
As template i will use the configuration site from the interface traffic for snmp devices.
So you can check the devices an than you choose the pollerserver.

Moreover i can't use the masterserver (with id= 2) to poll some devices. I see in your code that you only display poller servers with id > 2. Why this choice? and how can i use all our servers to poll device ?

You've got me there. In the first version of this tool it gives only too server (master and slave) and the master was for the plugins and the slave for polling.

In the next version you can choose all server. But note the first server is the server for all plugins.

Thans.

Ok,
version 0.2.2 is ready for download.

@prosodie
All your wishes are in this version.

Hi,

I just upgrade your plugin to the last version (sorry for the delay, i have a lot of job ).

First, thanks for your work.

I have a strange result with the hostcount by poller.

I have seen that you use this sql request:
SELECT count( DISTINCT `host_id`) FROM `poller_item` WHERE `poller_id` = x;

I think it's better to use :SELECT count(`id`) FROM `host` WHERE `poller_id` = x;

With this second sql request we have the same result that with the poller log.

I have detected a bug on the page where we can choose the poller for some devices (multipollerserver.php?action=device_choose). When i use the link to the next page, it miss le parameter &action=device_choose and i fall back to the poller server list.

[der_doc]

Hi prosodie,
thanks for testing the plugin.
With the SQL-Query you are right. I change it in the next version.

On montay i will have a loock at the bug and than fix it.

Hi prosodie,
sorry for the late answer. I down know what the problem is your wrote .....

I have detected a bug on the page where we can choose the poller for some devices (multipollerserver.php?action=device_choose). When i use the link to the next page, it miss le parameter &action=device_choose and i fall back to the poller server list.

When i use the link and take a change the change would du and the screen go back to multipollerserver.php.
Is that the problem?

Than is the link after the change false.

Dear all,


is this plugin compatible in cacti 0.8.7g ?

[der_doc]

Hi ritosaeba,
no the first version to support the multipollerplugin is the unix version 0.88a.
The reason are the files for the patch.

Hi Der,

thank you for reply,

so, we can see the graph from master ? because now my cacti quite work hard, and I have plan to split into more server (poller). I think your plugin meet my requirement. I will try it.
