When i try to install the syslog plugin in cacti the web page says 'Can not connect'.
really hope someone can help me out or point me in the right direction, casue ive been stuck at this for about a week now
I'm using the following;
Ubuntu Server 15.04
Cacti v0.8.8b
Syslog plugin v1.22
So far here is what ive done :
1. created a database called syslog in mysql.
2. imported the syslog.sql tables into my newly created database.
3. changed my /usr/share/cacti/site/plugins/syslog/config.php to
/* revert if you dont use the Cacti database */
$use_cacti_db = false;
if (!$use_cacti_db) {
$syslogdb_type = 'mysql';
$syslogdb_default = 'syslog';
$syslogdb_hostname = 'localhost';
$syslogdb_username = 'cacti';
$syslogdb_password = 'letmein';
$syslogdb_port = 3306;
}else{
$syslogdb_type = $database_type;
$syslogdb_default = $database_default;
$syslogdb_hostname = $database_hostname;
$syslogdb_username = $database_username;
$syslogdb_password = $database_password;
$syslogdb_port = $database_port;
}
/* field in the incomming table */
4. my rsyslog.conf file is as follows;
# /etc/rsyslog.conf Configuration file for rsyslog.
#
# For more information see
# /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-doc/html/rsyslog_conf.html
#
# Default logging rules can be found in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
$ModLoad ommysql
$template cacti_syslog,"INSERT INTO syslog_incoming(facility, priority, date, time, host, message) values (%syslogfacility%, %syslogpriority%, '%timereported:::date-mysql%', '$
*.* >localhost,syslog,cacti,letmein;cacti_syslog

5. my /usr/share/cacti/site/include/config.php
/* make sure these values refect your actual database/host/user/password */
$database_type = "mysql";
$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "localhost";
$database_username = "cacti";
$database_password = "letmein";
$database_port = "";
$database_ssl = false;
/*
Edit this to point to the default URL of your Cacti install
ex: if your cacti install as at http://serverip/cacti/ this
would be set to /cacti/
Debian addition:
If used together with a http deamon, it should be configured
consistently. Using an empty path makes all links relative.
*/
//$url_path = "/cacti/";
/* Default session name - Session name must contain alpha characters */
//$cacti_session_name = "Cacti";
?>
hope someone can help me.
Thanks,
Kevin
