Nectar on Cacti 1.1.x?

[BenPDX]

We are running Cacti 1.1.x on a CentOS 7.3 server. As they come out, we apply the yum updates for Cacti. Somewhere along the way the Nectar plugin stopped working, and I am trying to fix it. I just installed the latest yum update, which brought my Cacti version to 1.1.24.

Nectar was showing up under plugins with a status of "Installed", but clicking on the "Enable Plugin" button had no effect. Thinking I would just reinstall it, I clicked the "Uninstall Plugin" button, which removed it from the Plugins page.

When I went to find instructions and downloads to reinstall Nectar, I found that all the all of the instructions/downloads are really old and seem to apply only to pre-1.0 versions of Cacti. While searching the forums, I have seen many references stating that Nectar is now an "embedded" plugin in Cacti 1.0+.

What does it mean that it's an "embedded" plugin? How do I configure the creation and emailing of reports? Is the fact that there is very little documentation available (that I can find) due to the fact that it is completely obvious in the Cacti interface, and I am either missing it (which would not be out of the question!), or something is misconfigured so that I don't see where to manage it?

Any guidance would be much appreciated!

If you read the 1.0 Changelog, you will see

feature: Merge Reporting (Nectar) Plugin - Reporting

The plugin isn't necessary anymore.

OK, now that we've clarified that the Nectar functionality is embedded in 1.0+, can someone please point me to information on how to configure reports that I can email on a daily basis?

Thanks!

First go to Configuration>Users>your_username>Permissions and tick "Reports Creation" and "Reports Management"

Do and F5 and you'll see a new tab called "Reporting" afterwards.

THANKS!!!!

To bad your manual is nowhere actually documented in the official plug-in description.

Technically, this is no longer a plugin but fully integrated as of 1.0.0

That is correct, but it would still be nice if the "how to enable" would somewhere be documented on the "old" plugin page

To be honest, at some point this year, the old pages are going to fade away. They will be replaced with something a bit more up to date, although the documentation is no where near as complete as I would like.
