Fritzbox Monitoring Template

[sjs]

why don't update?
Especially to get all the security issues fixed ...

0.8.8b was the version that came with my Linux distro (Raspbian Jessie, very similar to Debian Jessie). After manually updating cacti to 0.8.8h, it basically works - however, unfortunately with a few shortcomings:

• I'm also affected by the "missing inbound traffic" bug Dopamin2485 described. The data template looks like your screenshot, the data source seems to be correctly associated with the graph template and I also removed and re-added the templates - to no avail so far.
• The Raspberry Pi (model B) I was trying to run this on is way too slow for the Python scripts. I had to increase the poller's timeout to 120s to get it running, but even then, a full poller run takes almost 4 minutes(!) and increases the permanent CPU load on the Pi to ~80%.

Given the second issue, I'm afraid I'll leave that for the time being.

Sebastian

maybe this helps you to make Templates compatible with older Versions:

Hello,

it is also possible for a remote box ?

I installed everything as described, but only my outbound traffic is shown in the graph.

@michel1109

if you can communicate from your Cacti System to the Fritzbox in your LAN oder via VPN it should work.

@burnz
is Data Input correct associated for both directions?

[Basse]

Thanks for this cool work!

I had the same version problem as sjs with Cacti v0.8.8a. Edited the xml and replaced every 0025 with 0024. Works like a charm!

[Basse]

Next, I had the same problem as burnz. Figured out in "data sources" the password is not set at every fritz.box related data source.

[Basse]

Now, there is a new Problem. The cacti produced a huge peak tonight. I limited the graph, because I couldnt see any else than the peak. But have a look at the maximum, I even dont know, what P stands for ^^ I think, the T at average is Terra. Any Ideas to avoid peaks like this?

Have you looked into the Spike Kill plugin?

Petabytes is after Tera, so 1 Peta is 1000 Tera.

[Basse]

Thanks, I did not know Spike Killer.
Now I am really happy

I am running Cacti on a Synology. I even upgraded to a new version 0.8.8.h but I can't get the installation completed :

Still don't understand why AVM/Fritz doesn't support simple SNMP...

[blubbersuelze]

did you try to install the package "python-lxml" instead of doing it via "pip install lxml"?

[blubbersuelze]

added CRC Error Monitoring ...

[burnz]

CRC error is not working with my fritzbox.py..
/usr/bin/python <path_cacti>/scripts/fritzbox.py <ip> <password> error

The Python Script throws:

/var/www/html/cacti/scripts# ./fritzbox.py fritz.box password error
unknown Argument
