dudemanxtreme, thank you for your assitance with this, it is now working with our Groundworks platform. However I would love to have Nagios populate Cacti data sources; this will save the redundant effort of configuring Cacti even thought nagios has already been populated with hosts and services through monarch interface.
starvoise, i am working a groundworks and cacti integration and came across this thread. did you ever get a response back as to how to configure cacti to pull info from nagios? i would like cacti to pull the data that gw or nagios already collects. thanks in advance.
What does Groundworks give you exactly? Differences between their free version and the enterprise version?
I've currently got Nagios and Cacti running on the same box, with a few hooks into each other (Nagios monitoring Cacti log), but some serious integration would be nice. I'd especially like a web based configuration tool that is not Fruity (or at least Fruity in its current form).
ok, so if I understand this correctly, this will integrate Cacti into the Groundworks script, so that you need to launch Groundworks in order to see what Cacti is doing?

Groundwork is essentially a wrapper around various apps (nagios, monarch nagios configuration tool, guava menu app, a java status viewer, user admin tool etc). What the above does is add cacti to the wrapper, so user authentication is taken care of and it's put into the menu system. It's basically a convenience thing more than anything else. I've setup mine with cacti, phpmyadmin, webmin and a few other misc apps. The groundwork setup can also create RRD's from the results of the service checks, which can be viewed in cacti (to avoid duplication).
Login to GWOS
Select the Administration tab
Select packages from below the Administration tab
Select Cacti from the main menu
Select Install this package now
Now select the Users link below the Administration tab
Select Administrators from the Roles submenu.
At the bottom of the page click the drop menu "Add View to This Role" and select Cacti, click the "Add View" button
I dont think this available on Groundwork 6.X not sure where I can edit tis on the administration console or where I can find this I completed all the steps above that
Alias /cacti "/usr/local/groundwork/cacti/"
<Directory "/usr/local/groundwork/cacti/">
Options Indexes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Probably this is what was missing not sure about the Admin part though yet
Does any have the Nagvis from supervisions they had the instructions written on how to add nagvis which I could use for cacti if any downloaded it in the past lease upload the tar file or email it to me
