It seems a permission issue.
You can try to use webmin in order to grant to cactiuser permission on cacti db :)

Really impressive, good performance.
Boost plugin disabled, and less than 6 seconds polling...
great

Is there a way to be able to see the rrd graphs without having to stay logged in to Cacti?

cigamit wrote: Same way any Cacti migration happens between boxes. Certain things hinge on whether the old one is 32bit or 64bit, but you mostly need to build it out in parallel to your other install. It also helps if you upgrade the old cacti to the latest first.

Some rough steps are
  • Install new server on different hardware / VM
  • Copy over any extra scripts / resource files from your old box (don't override)
  • Copy over any extra plugins from the old box (don't override, but plugins like weathermap will need their configs copied)
  • Stop polling on old box (you can skip this step, it just makes sure everything is consistent)
  • Export DB, Import into new (drop the tables on new)
  • Move RRD Files over (rsync if old is 64bit, you will have to dump to xml and back if its 32bit)
  • New box may ask to upgrade the DB depending on old boxes Cacti version
  • Start polling on new box (and old if you want them to run in parallel for a bit)
A few things may be broken here and there but they are usually easy to track down.
Ok, I'm pretty new to Cacti and I am not a Linux aficionado by any stretch of the imagination. I have to migrate a very old Cacti server to the latest version as the old box is dying and I have a much newer unit available and it only makes sense to put the latest version of Cacti on it. The original Cacti server was built by someone who no longer works here and I've agreed to take it on but could use a little help getting this done.

If someone could add some detail to the above post it would be most helpful for a Cacti newb like me. For instance, the locations of said files that need to be copied (ie: scripts, plugins, RRD, db etc)

How do I stop/start polling?

Correct procedure for exporting db and importing it onto new server?

How does one upgrade the db if requested to do so?

TIA for any/all help!

Spikekill doesn't work with the new theme because of the way it tries to inject its javascript and div code in via the tabs hook. Something seems wrong with the plugin too, considering I have a few graphs with massive spikes, and it seems to completely ignore them and instead removes a few small ones. I will have to figure out why its doing that.

I will see about adding the F5 templates in the next update to the templates plugin, all new templates are on hold until I push a fix for all 1 minute graphs. We need a completely different set of RRAs defined for them.

Hello guys,

i have a problem, i have installed 4 cactiez for internal and external use. The problem is that (for visual reasons) title "Console" in the tab doesn't help a lot to understand in which cacti i am right now logged in because i have all of them opened in my browser so i would like to make it more easy.

Is there any workaround to change my titlebar?

Regards,
ankso

I am sure a plugin to be written to change the title easily enough, but I don' t know of one that exists currently.

All,

I have installed 0.7, and need to migrate the underlying CentOS install to official RHEL so that it's supported in our environment. Part of that process is to remove the centos-release package. But when I run that command, it looks like all packages in 0.7 that are not in the default install have a dependencey on centos-release.

My Linux background is much more Debian/Ubuntu than CentOS/RHEL, so I could use some guidance on how to handle this. Help?

TIA,
m00t

Honestly, its easiest to just install Redhat and start from scratch.

Two questions about the CactiEZ0.7:
1. I notice that Cacti restarts/resets/does something each night. Is this normal behavior?
See the attached file on the localhost - physical memory

2. Our Cisco switch ports remarks/info always starts with a '=' sign. But this never shown on the graphs. Is this something that could be enabled or configured?

Great software!!!

I very much like that I can upgrade CactiEZ with yum. After last upgrade all graph broke. Firefox just says that cannot display image because it is broken (or similar). 0.8.8a-1 version works fine. Only problem with newer version was those broken graphs. Something wrong with how rrd data is made to png. Polling etc was working fine.

I did downgrade to earlier version and after that graphs appeared again. I only did downgrade cactiez package.
