Manage Plugin 0.6.2 for monitoring networks, servers...

[laarocho]

Thanks Marcelo!!!

Worked like a charm... On Windows 2k3 Server with IIS 6

[Marcelo]

Anyway...the uptime counter is still in 0d 0h 0m...checking....gilles...any clue?

Ok, auto-answer activated

I realized that manage-check.php script, does not run automatically. Should I add it to the crontab?
"cactid" is selected as poller type (In Settings --> Poller) and "Cacti poller" in Misc tab (also in settings).

PS: If i run manually: php manage-check.php, works fine.

if you use cacti poller, you must wait the time you scheduled it.
(if it doesn't work, try to stop your cacti scheduled job, recache and rerun it)
in cacti.log, if it work, you will find this : MANAGE: Poller[0] Checking Manage

if you use manage poller, you must schedule another job with check-manage.php

gilles: Thx for reply so fast.
I try to stop cactid, clear poller cache, reactivate cactid and nothing...no update on Uptime (0d0h0m).

The uptime is working on my servers. Change the following and test.
Method to test connexion with host= ICMP

The plugin recommends SNMP.

Thx, but the real problem is the manage-check.php script (not run automatically). Maybe some conf. of my cacti server is wrong.


btw...already try it, just for testing.

Another bug in my linux box:

Notice: Undefined index: manage_templates.php:actions in /usr/local/share/cacti/lib/functions.php on line 1357

This ocurr when i try to add new template. The template is created, but the error appear.

PS: Sorry for not to mention it before...GREAT Tool!!
PS2: Sorry for my english.

Hi,

Porblems:
- Template selections in device view are not saved
- Adding new template:
Notice: Undefined index: manage_templates.php:actions in /var/www/html/cacti/lib/functions.php on line 1364
- after adding/changeing device unmanaged -> managed and editing this device the heading line display not the host name:
"Configuration for host () :"
-correct guest hosts (cisco router) are not displayed correct: the uptime is not updated (N/A), after changing the host device type from router to router the device works correct
- after some fast clicking (where...I dcould not remember) the updtime format gets wrong: "89d 17h 40m89d 17h 40m"...

Nice to have:
- possibility to change the host type for many switches
- how do you guess the hosttype? Cisco switch (catos) is guested as winnt???
- the mouse-over effect of the monitor-plugin
- getting the list of last reboots in the tabed view instead of the console view
(View reboots and then the symbols)
- display of the last 10 events and not haveing to select a specific device
(event view not in the console)
- new setting view as used by thold (not subsection under MISC)
- possibility to select email-alert of all 3 events: down/up/reboot (or make a checkbox selection at the new setting view)
- possibility to play a sound if an alert occurs (as in plugin monitor)
- possibility to check UDP ports

?? which email adress is used to send emails? I changed the address from the thold plugin, but this did not work?

Then you can disable the monitor and uptime plugin.

gilles,
Nice job plugin. It is running well on W2K3 box with Cacti 0.8.6h monitoring approx 60+ devices. A cool thing to add maybe a text field where you can add circuit ID's for routers or any phone info that will get e-mailed with the down\reboot notification. If I get some time, I may start working on a plugin that encorporates some custom text info for each device that can be sent with the notifications from manage and thold. Keep up the great work.

[gilles]

- Template selections in device view are not saved
Torsten

if i save the template, i will need to write code to prevent you to delete a used template, etc...
so i choose to not save it

- Adding new template:
Notice: Undefined index: manage_templates.php:actions in /var/www/html/cacti/lib/functions.php on line 1364
Torsten

fixed with 0.3
thanks for all who reports this

- after adding/changeing device unmanaged -> managed and editing this device the heading line display not the host name:
"Configuration for host () :"
Torsten

fixed with 0.3

- after some fast clicking (where...I dcould not remember) the updtime format gets wrong: "89d 17h 40m89d 17h 40m"...
Torsten

i don't know where is this bug at the moment

Nice to have:
- possibility to change the host type for many switches
Torsten

added in 0.3

- how do you guess the hosttype? Cisco switch (catos) is guested as winnt???
Torsten

i use index "id" in cacti table "host_template"
for all of us, 5 is "Cisco Router", 7 is "Windows 2000/XP Host", 8 is "Local Linux Machine" etc
the id's after 8 depends of what templates you have imported
for me, the id 9 is "Windows NT Host"
for you you, it will be different, this is why is use the term "trying"

-correct guest hosts (cisco router) are not displayed correct: the uptime is not updated (N/A), after changing the host device type from router to router the device works correct
Torsten

from router to router ?
i'm don't have this bug

- the mouse-over effect of the monitor-plugin
Torsten

i don't know what to display (and i don't want to deal with multiple browsers)

- getting the list of last reboots in the tabed view instead of the console view
(View reboots and then the symbols)
Torsten

where ? in another tab ? on mouse over ?

- display of the last 10 events and not haveing to select a specific device
(event view not in the console)
Torsten

why not

- new setting view as used by thold (not subsection under MISC)
Torsten

others plugins use MISC, so i use MISC too (btw, it's right THOLD have is own tab but this is because it have much options)

- possibility to select email-alert of all 3 events: down/up/reboot (or make a checkbox selection at the new setting view)
Torsten

why not

- possibility to play a sound if an alert occurs (as in plugin monitor)
Torsten

i don't see the utility of this since i can close my browser
but i'm going to include an option to alert by "net send" for windows box

- possibility to check UDP ports
Torsten

i'm going to include windows services check before this but yes, it is planned

?? which email adress is used to send emails? I changed the address from the thold plugin, but this did not work?
Torsten

i use the email in the top of the tab Alerting/Thold

thanks for your feeback

[gilles]

new in 0.3 is the ability to apply settings to multiple hosts

first, you still need to enable manage for hosts

then, choose your settings


choose your hosts

then, choose apply


do it in this order or you will loose your selected hosts

In the latest version I am getting to error messages but the parts still work.

This is on the manage groups screen: Notice: Undefined variable: url_page2_select in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/cacti/plugins/manage/groups.php on line 174

I get this one at the top of the webpage after I have added a device to a group. The device does show up in the group.
Notice: Undefined variable: s in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/cacti/plugins/manage/listmanage2.php on line 977

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/cacti/plugins/manage/listmanage2.php on line 977

Other than that so far so good.

[SteveIs4Cacti]

I am getting the same error messages in the latest version as jherrinike. Also the uptime counters for every device reset to 0 for every device. Other than this, new version is working well.

I am running W2K3 with 0.8.6h.
