Advance graph export add-on

jaybob · Post by **jaybob** » Mon Aug 29, 2005 9:15 am

Hello,

I want to present an add-on that I developed on Cacti-0.8.6f. Actually, I needed an advance export graph format. The patch that I propose uses the Cacti graph tree.

In the cacti_export_path, for each tree, a directory is made. For each branch, there is a new html file generated. And on the left, the tree is showed, with the javaScript used in Cacti. Only graphs that are enable to export attached on the Cacti graph tree will be really exported.

The tar archive contains a diff file which will modify include/config_settings.php and lib/graph_export.php. You also have to
copy a javascript file, ftiens4_export.js. It's the copy of ftiens4.js with the ICONPATH changed. That's all.

All your coments are welcomed.
Thanks,
jerome

Great job... this is a very well written modification. The only (very minor) thing that I would do is check if a file (such as include/treeview/ftiens4_export.js) exists before copying all of the header files in place each time the poller runs. It looks like there is a possiblity of including this into 0.8.6g

Ian,

It is committed for your review. All modified for the new export statistics.

Thanks for your tests and your comments ,

My work is totaly free and open. You can use it as you want

It would be great if this add-on could be integrated to the next release of Cacti

Jaybob,

It was so well written, it was added to the 0.8.6g SVN yesterday.

Merci!!

First, many thanks for your replies. You have encouraged me to continue

Here is a second version of this patch. I add another way to customize HTML generated files.
Now, you can chose between "classical presentation" and "tree presentation", and you also could change the html-header and html-footer.
With this add-on, html exported files could be more personalized.

Feel free to integrate it in the next release of Cacti, if you want of course.

I couldn't get this to work. It kills my console settings window, and the graphs section tree view mode don't work no more. Even after I restore the old php's it stil doesn't seem to work!

What is your Cacti version ?
I made this with Cacti-0.8.6f

Please wait on 0.8.6. It should be released this week. It will include this most excellent contribution.

Hi Larry

I've checked out 0.8.6g from SVN, did a fresh install, but I don't find how to use the "selective preview mode". Is there anything special to do ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Okay so I updated to 0.8.6f just to be sure. I got it working again. Then I tried both of the patches in this thread. Neither worked. And after recopying the .save files over the originals, the settings page is still empty, except for a heading and cancel and save buttons.

The tree view works however. I think i borked it in other ways the first time i tried this. Its really annoying, coz this is an awesome feature thats perfect for what we need.

Cheers for the contribution anyway mate.

Sorry, I had not given enough information when I posted the second patch.

You only have to patch your Cacti 0.8.6f with the second patch (if you want the 2 features) or with the first patch (if you only want the tree presentation feature).

But patching with the two files doesn't work. You have to choose.
