Linking from an external application to a cacti graph

Post by cksrealm »

Hi all,

I have written a php front end to a database that gets a bunch of data for devices, I am trying to add a link so that when a user clicks on a link it will go to the appropriate device in the cacti graph screens. For example a user views a database via php front end showing device data for all devices in a say site a and I want to include a link that they can then view the cacti graphs for each host. I have the database part working but having issues with linking to the device in cacti. the hyper link Im using is
https://mywebserver/cacti/graph_view.ph ... hyper=true

What values do I need to use to link it, as part of my database front end Im pulling the id for each device but I must be missing something.

Hopefully this makes sense.

Thanks in advance.

I have a database that kind of doubles as a CMDB with all the devices in it including serial numbers etc etc. I have a php front end for that and would love to be able to provide a link in this php front end that takes the user to the device graphs in Cacti.

Just enable guest access in cacti and you can insert the graph_view.php into those pages
