I have a small list of suggestions to submit, here they are as I noted them (no particular order in fact
)- If a user does not have "Global settings" permission, with bother displaying a "Settings" tab in Graphs section ? A user will be tempted to click on that tab to get a nice red message "You don't have permission to modify settings". Pretty useless don't you think ?
- For log report, I'm using "Logfile and Syslog/Eventlog". Eventhough I checked the 3 options below (poller stats/warnings/errors) I only get warnings and errors in the syslog, but never the stats like I have on the logfile.
- About the Syslog option, the format used for sending to syslog is absolutely non standard
Example :
The time is redundant and useless. It's the job of the syslog collector to timestamp entries, not the application. Also, the "tag" should identify the application (cacti) and not use a generic entry (Logging). The remaining part of the message is of course useful and nothing to say about it, except perhaps that it should mention the DataSource it was trying to fetch like this :Code: Select all

Partial Result:because when some DS fail, you can spend quite some time to find out which one was failing. Setting the log level to MEDIUM is sometimes not an option when you poll hundreds of devices with lots of DS each !Code: Select all
May 15 03:10:11 HOSTNAME cacti[19269]: CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[4] WARNING: Result from CMD not valid. (cpu_nice) Partial Result: - It would be nice to have settings to define default values for a graph. Cacti's built in default is 500x120 but I prefer 500x150 and every new template I create I have to handfix the value
- Other nice options for graphs would be nice like not display X or Y axis grid, turning of minor grid lines, suppressing the legend, etc... Also, on some other tools using RRDTool, there are sometimes graphs without the external 2 pixels grey border (ie: flat graph). I wonder how this could be done.
- Options to disable "Graph zooming" and "Graph Source/Properties" in permissions for users.
