Hi cigamit,

the plugin is running now on my cacti 0.8.6d with thold 2.1a (FC3) and I have a problem that other users then admin have no access to the monitor tab.

I have changed the user permission to allow access to the monitor plugin but they get only the login mask.

I can remember a solution from you for thold to send the threshold image as embedded gif into a html mail messeage instead pointing only to a link or ?

Is this working with my mix ?

disregard my last post - i screwed up my crontab.

anyways, it would be great if this monitor map could link to the device page to drill into graphs or even using somekind of mouse over like weathermap does. just a thought to enhance it

I'm pretty sure I used your Thold patch. Don't know what went wrong. Is it possible to post all the patched files complete? Cacti 0.8.6d + Thold 2.1a

That would be great.

I was going off what you said.. you said that you did
patch -p1 -N < cacti-plugin-arch.diff
and cacti-plugin-arch.diff is the non-thold version
cacti-plugin-arch-thold.diff is the one you needed.

I will post a complete set of files tomorrow sometime (not all of cacti, just the changed files, so you just have to override them)

Could it be i'm experiencing the same error as MGB?
Guess the patching didn't go 100% correct. I used the cacti-plugin-arch-thold.diff one because i already got thold 2.1a installed.
Cacti seems to work fine accept for the following error i get at every page:

What file determines 10 icons across on the monitor "view" ?

.....edited next day...

Oops ..Stupid question.... the <cactiroot>/plugins/monitor/monitor.php
is the answer.

none of my graph's are showing correctly after applying the patch and monitor plugin, just a red X. Is it possible i'm missing some other required patch? Guess this means throwing in the backup

.
I can't find the complete set of changed files mentioned by Cigamit earlier so i can't compare them with the patched ones.

Is there anyone who uses the thold 2.1a with cacti 0.8.6d and this monitor plugin succesfully and willing to share a working install / patch (complete file sets) order? That would be great.

Thnx

Dennis

I’m running cacti-0.8.6d with thold2.1a for cacti-0.8.6d install on CentOS 4.0. When I try to install plugin architecture patch I get the following output below. Any ideas as to what the problem is?

Got the same thing myself. From the looks of it, the patch file has the directory listed as cacti-0.8.6d so you have to edit the diff file to reflect what you cacti folder name is.

Actually thats not the case, in the patch command you will see this "-p1"

From "patch --help"

Code: Select all

 -p NUM  --strip=NUM  Strip NUM leading components from file names.

This means when patching it will strip the "cacti-0.8.6d" off of the directory name.

I have now released the already patched version of the files at the beginning of this thread
http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?p=32790#32790

Look at the second post for a file entitled "plugins-arch-cacti-0.8.6d.zip". It contains the already patched files for both normal cacti-0.8.6d and for when you have thold installed. Be sure you use the correct version for your setup!!

Also, I am working on another module that may or may not be of interest to some users. It basically is an integrated SNMP Trap viewer (For my purposes, we call then events).

You would have to install net-snmp's trap deamon, and snmptt. The events are all logged to a table (newly created in your cacti database). After that, you just add users access to view it. I am currently working on the administrative part of it (removing, ect...) but we are already using the viewing portion in our production systems.

cigamit,

The drop in files worked great!

Thanks

cigamit,

I have a suggestion/request. Everything you have done so far to greatly expand the functionality of cacti has been just awesome. How hard would it be to go one step further with this and add some form of syslog management to cacti? I currently centralize the logging of about 30 servers but it is extremely tedious looking through all those text files on a daily basis. I think it would be very useful if cacti had this type of functionality built in, or at least an add-on module like the ones you have been able to create. Thanks again on making this already great product so much more.

Mike
