DPDiscover 1.41 and Unified Trees 0.6

[ericdives]

It took me this long to realize I had posted my plugins in the wrong place - I have posts for them in the "Addons" section but not here. Anyways:

DPDiscover hit version 1.41 recently. See: http://runningoffatthemouth.com/?p=1067

DPDiscover, which I developed from the original "Discovery" plugin, allows a Cacti install to use known equipment in an attempt to add unknown equipment by looking for the new stuff via LLDP, CDP, and FDP. Lots of features involving ignoring equipment you don't want added.

UnifiedTrees hit version 0.6 TODAY, which included a major bugfix. See: http://runningoffatthemouth.com/?p=1089

UnifiedTrees pulls in trees from multiple Cacti installs and builds a single tree that can be used for browsing across Cacti servers. Includes a "client/server" operational mode, where a server periodically pulls the trees from itself and all clients (or even other servers), builds a "unified tree" and sticks it into a memory resident table. All clients just need to pull that table from the server (instead of having to build their own tree) and display it.

As the page on docs.cacti.net for UT is continually locked by "anon_bugs" (I don't know how) I don't know when I'll be getting around to updating it for version 0.6.

Try editing the page now.

Thanks I eventually got in to get it at least somewhat up to date.

UnifiedTrees was upgraded to 0.71. If you are running 0.6, there's no reason to upgrade, unless:

• You have a tree in your list of trees you want listed at the end of your list.
• You need more frequent tree building than once an hour.

If you are running anything less than 0.6, you should have upgraded a while ago.
