They both work on SOME of the nodes, but not all of them...until the "picker" is fully implemented, whats the best source for these?

Find the graph you want in Cacti, right-click on it and Copy Image Location. That works for me, although anything with things like

Code: Select all

graph_start=1149788269&graph_end=1149874669

will likely go bad over time, since those are specific time constraints. I'm pretty sure if you chop them off, you get whatever your default timespan is.

Using firefox I've had mixed results with copying the location, and have been right-clicking, selecting properties and then copy/pasting location from there.

That's what I figured as well - and dumping everything after & and before the start statement appears to work well. Thanks for the help.

...or try weathermanage

Hmmm. Just installed 0.82. When I try to add the simple.conf map to test, I get an error under "Accessible by":

Notice: Undefined index: 1 in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\cactitest\plugins\weathermap\weathermap-cacti-plugin-mgmt.php on line 218

That's odd. User id 1 is the 'admin' user. Is it possible that you have deleted and re-created your admin user at some stage?

The default permissions for a new map allow id 1 to see it only, since that user is the 'admin' user.

The fix will be an SQL statement to run after you add all your maps:

Code: Select all

delete from weathermap_auth where userid=1;

to clean out the error-producing assumption.

Well - I no longer have an "admin" user. By I have several users who are admins... Can't remember if I just renamed it or removed it after creating my own account. Standard process for me is to remove unused admin accounts...

Ok.. I see how the workaround works.. Shouldn't it use the "current users id" as the starting point ?

OK. It honestly hadn't occurred to me that someone might do that.

I originally hardcoded that so that I didn't get a zillion queries as to why someone couldn't see the map, even after they added it. I'll add in a check that the user actually exists. I figure that if you are savvy enough to be deleting users, then you probably can figure out why the map isn't visible.

The SQL statement previously posted will work as a quick & dirty fix though.

Yes, that's a much nicer way.

Is there any way to tone down the logs being generated?

With DEBUG off, you should only get one or two lines per map plus a 'hello' and a 'goodbye'... do you get much more?

Once again, this is a balance between your convenience as a more experienced user, and my mailbox as recipient of questions about why someone doesn't get any maps when they just installed the thing. I do tend to include as much explanation as possible to avoid answering the same question over and over. Believe it or not, people don't read the manual.

Maybe there's some mileage in a 'quiet' option that's off by default.

Yeah - but that applies to Cacti as well.

In my setup, I run two instances of cacti on the same server, Production and Test. In the Production system the only things I want to see in the logs are "errors". I have cacti monitor "itself" for stats - so I don'even need the measurements cacti gives. Same goes for the plugins. So an option for "off" would be great. Otherwise the logs sit there building up, and taking ages to download through the www gui.
