Force rrd Boost every 5 minutes for specific rrd | Cli

[zuka1337]

Hello,

General :

• As I have Multiple pollers, so data is not always available every 5 minutes pooll on rrd, so thats a problem.

• I have Weathermap Standalone, we all know that for this implementation is not ideal cause we don't have real time graph data on weathermap, cuz boost somethimes
  has to deal with his own bussiness, before storing data

Idea:

• If I call an json/export graph we can force the update for that specific rrd for every and each minute you want.

• I can make an script where is going to call the json export every 5 minutes and have weathermap fresh and clean data

Now how can I call this via Curl?

I know if we open an outdated graph (not yet updated from boost system) we can force the boost to update that specific rrd.

curl --header 'Authorization: Basic PASSHERE' http://cacti.com/cacti/graph_json.php?r ... _width=500
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: Basic; Name or service not known
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: PASSHERE; Name or service not known
{"status":"500","statusText":"Not Logged In","responseText":"You must be logged in to access this area of Cacti."}

Or

curl --user user:?user --request GET http://cacti.com/cacti/graph_json.php?r ... _width=500

I'm realy sorry if this is a noob question to post here.

You need to enable the guest account to do unauthenticated requests. Otherwise, you will have to login via your script. Check out the "check_all_pages.sh" script in the GitHub for how to achieve that.

Well, I don't think this is the way to go as curl or wget does not load javascript pr ajax on the webpage, I'll think in something else
