Plugin Architecture for Cacti and Monitoring Module

[nahun]

At first glance it appears everything would work with the exception of the stuff for config.php which I assume I could fix manually. I was just wondering if the custom way apt-get installs cacti would cause issues.

If you did a "apt-get install cacti" it will cause problems. I did this too and it took me a while before I found this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CactiHowTo

The order Ubuntu installs the packages messes up when you just apt-get cacti.

And I've always had that one patch fail like that on config.php, but it doesn't cause any problems

Any chance you could add a setting for what the monitor actuall says in alarm mode?

If not, could you spell out "knock" to the speech processor instead of NOC since it wants to say 'Attention N O C'.

thanks

That is the exact same guide I used... Im not sure what you mean "If you did a "apt-get install cacti" it will cause problems". If Im understanding you correctly that isnt the command I started with... I followed the wiki cacti on ubuntu guide.

sorry about that. But you're right, that was what I was saying. You should be fine then.

Is any to check which version i am running? (of plugin architecture and not cacti's version)

Currently no, but my testing version has the ability to reports its version to the "Update" Plugin which then displays it for you. I will probably be pushing that version of the Plugin Architecture out as stable in the next week.

I'm running Cacti 0.8.6h with Cactid 0.8.6g with Plugin Architecture and Monitor plugin. I'm also running the fast poller for host up/down status every minute. However, I get the feeling that the host up/down status is still based on the regular poller instead of the fast poller. When a host goes down, it takes about 5 minutes until the status is actually "down". It should take 2 minutes at most, because the fast poller runs every minute and the host up/down failure count is set to 1.

Any ideas?

Kick!

Please submit a bug report over at http://cactiusers.org/bugs/ and I will look at it asap.

Hi,
I upgrade my cacti from 0.8.6g to 0.8.6h.
Then I wanna install plugin architecture.
I downloaded Plugin V.0.9
Then I extract and run this command:

Code: Select all

patch -p1 -N --dry-run < cacti-plugin-arch/cacti-plugin-0.8.6h.diff 

Aftrer that I get an output includes some errors:

(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)

Then I backup original files and try to patch usingthis command:

Code: Select all

patch -p1 -N  < cacti-plugin-arch/cacti-plugin-0.8.6h.diff 

After that I still get some errors
I check the cacti from browser. Somethibg weird. For example images are not shown, fonts are wrong, graph page not loaded. etc.
Then I turn tı original files.

What is the problem?

There is your issue, use the prepatched files on these 3 files, and then re-edit your config.php file to include the proper database info. config.php will not patch correctly if you have already filled in the database info, as the patch doesn't have a proper reference point since the code comes directly after it. The others should have patched fine, but may have been modified at some time which causes them to fail.

I would like to know if there are any future plans to do any type of notification (particularly paging) when I device is down in the Monitor plugin? I know there is currently an alarm sound that can be played, but I am looking for alerting an on-call person via pager.

I just installed thold plugin for cacti, and it is working great for traffic monitoring. But what I would especially like to use is for, is monitoring available addresses in DHCP pools.

We are using dhcpd-snmp.zip from http://forums.cacti.net/download.php?id=7162

DHCPD stats are being graphed nicely, but when I try to set some thold values for available leases (data sources->dhcpd statistics(snmp)) it can not locate the graph and due this can not get the current values which leads to fact that I can not use thold for monitoring available leases.

Has anyone come up with this problem and/or is there any solution. Thold seems to be very useful tool, and I can't come up with better use for it than monitoring DHCP pools.

when i added "monitor" ,i meet this problem
