Cacti 1.2.6 - Script Server - ss_win_mssql.php

[Highway]

My system is running on Centos 7 with PHP 5.4.16, MariaDB 5.5.64.

I've recently upgraded my cacti server to 1.2.6 from 0.8.8h and now executing ss_win_mssql.php results in a NULL output.

I tried running it through the script_server.php:

Code: Select all

[root@JAX4CACTI02 cacti]# php script_server.php
PHP Script Server has Started - Parent is cmd
/usr/share/cacti/scripts/custom-scripts/ss_win_mssql.php ss_win_mssql '10.bb.cc.dd':'1433' bckrsttroughput 'nagios' '################'

The execution just returns a blank line.

However, if I run it manually,

Code: Select all

[root@JAX4CACTI02 cacti]# time php -q /usr/share/cacti/scripts/custom-scripts/ss_win_mssql.php '10.bb.cc.dd':'1433' bckrsttroughput 'nagios' '################'

real    0m5.506s
user    0m0.032s
sys     0m0.018s

On Cacti, I can re-classify the script as a script/command instead of script/server and modify the input string to include 'php -q' at the beginning and it works.

Just trying to understand why it's not working now.

When you run it under script server, you may want to have it turn error logging on in your function call, but also to write log data to a file to ensure that the function is actually being called.

Additional Information:

Data Input Method
Windows - SQL Server - Backup/Restore I/O (Script Server)
<path_cacti>/scripts/custom-scripts/ss_win_mssql.php ss_win_mssql <hostname>:<port> bckrsttroughput <user> <password>

Based on the function ss_win_mssql,

Code: Select all

function ss_win_mssql ($hostname, $cmd, $username = NULL, $password = NULL) {
        print "hostname=$hostname | cmd=$cmd | username=$username | password=$password\n"; # debugging purposes
        list($host, $port) = explode(':', $hostname);
        $port = ($port == '' ? '1433' : $port);
        $username = ($username == NULL ? 'cactistats' : $username);
        $password = ($password == NULL ? 'CHANGEME' : $password);

        $ret = '';

        if (! $link = mssql_connect($host.':'.$port, $username, $password) )
                return;

        list($server_version) = mssql_fetch_row(mssql_query("SELECT CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('productversion') AS VARCHAR)"));
.
.
.

The parameter hostname is supposed to be both host and port separated by a colon. When I instructed the script to print out the hostname, all I get is the IP address with no port association.

When I run it through the script_server.php, the output is as expected.

Code: Select all

bash-4.2$ php -q /usr/share/cacti/script_server.php

It's the automation that doesn't seem to be passing the parameters correctly.
