Data query from loca file

[admo]

Hi,
I want to make data query simile as http://www.roth.lu/cacti-snmp-tut.htm
but not via snmp but from a local file.

Thanks

I don't get data from script but from file so I can't run it but only show

[admo]

May I use
cat /var/log/statistiche/82.112.210.80
instead of
perl /cacti_path/scripts/script.pl <host_ip>
to put data in Input String (Data Input Methods) ?

Please try the second to last link of my signature as a start. It's not that complex than the one you referred to

There is an even easier way. I would just create a small shell script that does the command you want/need.
For instance:
#!/bin/sh
cat /var/log/statistiche/82.112.210.80

I have a similar script that works perfectly fine the same way. Its slighty more complex as there are multiple variables. When creating your Data Input Method just put

/opt/cacti/scripts/yourscript.sh

And you should be good to go.
