How to install Plugins on Cacti 8.8a

[bushrat]

yes .. my apologies ... so we have :
/usr/share/cacti/site/plugins/monitoring
/usr/share/cacti/site/plugins/mactrack
/usr/share/cacti/site/plugins/settings

[invotec]

/usr/share/cacti/site/plugins/settings
/usr/share/cacti/site/plugins/monitor
etc...

Hmm, that appears to be OK. If we focus on Monitor at the moment, what happens if you check the "show icon legend" box under Settings|Misc?

If that displays the legend, can you check that you have monitor enable on some devices.

No legend. Still a blank screen. Do you still have to do some manual config that I may have overlooked?

[bushrat]

Same here .. nothing happens when I enable that button .. besides it had always been set like that. I unchecked it, saved and checked it again just to be on the safe side

I'm running Ubunto as well, with Cacti 0.8.8a and mine works fine.

Is there anything in the Cacti logs that might give an indication of what may be going on?

[invotec]

I also installed thold plugin and the only thing that is in the log file is system stats. About the time I installed the thold plugin, I started to get thold stats in the log as well. I dont know what else to look for.

What do you get in the Cacti log every time the poller runs? In my case, I get something like this...

08/01/2013 09:25:05 PM - SYSTEM THOLD STATS: Time:0.0043 Tholds:0 TotalHosts:35 DownHosts:0 NewDownHosts:0
08/01/2013 09:25:05 PM - SYSTEM STATS: Time:3.1968 Method:cmd.php Processes:1 Threads:N/A Hosts:36 HostsPerProcess:36 DataSources:43 RRDsProcessed:41

[invotec]

I get the attached.

[enyap]

All very odd. Once again that looks fine and it's clearly picking up Thold as a plugin.

What do you get on the Thold tab under "Host Status" with Status set to "All"? Hopefully 5 devices.

I think this may help...

I've just checked my Thold .php files as recommended and yes, I did change them and it works. Looking at monitor it has the same chdir, so worth a go. Looks like its something Ubunto specific.
Please let me know how you get on.

[invotec]

I altered the line in /usr/local/share/cacti/plugins/settings/email-test.php that the forum you mentioned suggested and the test email worked. I will try the other recommend files.

Thanks so much!

I also modified cli_thresholds.php, listthold.php, thold_add.php, thold_graph.php, thold.php, and thold_templates for the thold plugin, and it now works.

I modified monitor.php in the monitor plugin and it is working as well.

It looks like it is a symbolic link problem, and I will have to do this for every plugin I install.

Thanks for the all the help.

My pleasure Let's hope it fixes the problem for bushrat as will.
