Track gui changes from users

Post by mstbone67a »

Is there a way to track changes in the gui? I want to be able to know who made a change and what they did.

We have several teams using our instance for a large number of devices.

something like

user xyz added device 5400
user xyz deleted graph 7 for host 5400
user xyz created graph 8 for host 5400
user xyz created datasource for host 5500
something so we can tell who is doing what

thanks

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

It's pretty easy to upgrade, just start with a fresh install, restore the 0.8.8 dump, bring over customization's, and upgrade. You can then RSync your RRDfiles. Cacti 1.x supports multiple collection frequencies, so if you wish to change the sampling frequency of a device or devices, then for the novice, just starting over is likely better.

If you do sync your RRD files you just have to make sure that you are not switching endians or 32-bit to 64-bit. If you do, you may have to export and reimport the data via XML files.
