Manage Plugin 0.6.2 for monitoring networks, servers...

[thechicco]

Gilles thanks very much for this plugin, very well done.

I am however having a problem when polling the services, it continually shows as being 'waiting'. The poll date is about an hour out as well. Is there anything I can do to try and debug this?

Kind regards,

Chicco

Hi gilles!


Could you help me with the processes been deleted from the manage_process table?

All the processes that I've checked to be monitored are un-checked after each cycle of the manage poller!
They are deleted from the manage_process table after each polling cycle!
Any idea?!

(I commented the line 202 of "check.php" and now everything is ok!)


Thanks in advance!
(And sorry for my poor English...)

[thechicco]

Never mind, managed to fix it.

Was a problem with a function that was part of thold. I removed the reference, purged poller cache and now it's working nicely!

The only wish list request I would ask for is an option to have a 'tree' view. We have thousands of devices and have already defined 'sites' within the tree management but it doesn't seem to utlilise it.

Once again many thanks for such a great plugin!

That worked perfectly... thanks.

Please update your check.php in the manage plugin directory.

After upgrading plugin arch v.1.1, my manage plugin stopped updated. thanks to TheWitness, here is the updated file.

just remember to rename the file to .php

Thanks again for continuing to develop Manage... When a host is reported as 'down' can Manage use the THold Default Trigger Count setting to only report a failure if the host/device is not contactable for say 3 times? The reason is that heavy conjection on an internet line may prevent snmp requests but does not necessarily mean a downed host...

Does anyone else have this issue and perhaps there is a work-around?

Thanks in advance

In the current version of Cacti, a host can be reported up by either the Ping or SNMP. If you are using Cactid, then the poller is very resiliant to issues relative to conjestion. cmd.php is not so good. There is an event counter in the host table that can be used to track the number of times a host has been reported down. The event count implies either "down for this long" or "recovering for this long" and all depends on the host status.

Therefore, a script could be easily written to accomplish what you desire. I won't be writing it though. Sorry.

I have installed the manage plugin and can add hosts, etc although they are not updating. When I run "php check.php 10" I get the following error.

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\plugins\manage>php check.php 10

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare logger() (previously declared in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\plugins\manage\check.php:300) in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\plugins\thold\thold-functions.php on line 237


Has anyone seen this error before?

Cheers

Hi Gilles,

Superb plugin....!!!

Just one question:

Under the Manage plugin, if I choose a host to manage, then try to select on a server that has services and processes being monitored, I see the enclosed screenshot.

The error message is <input type='checkbox' style='margin: 0px;' name='chk2_

Any ideas as to what this is, and how I can resolve it ? Apart from that, the plugin works a treat !

[Cacti Version - 0.8.6j
Plugin Architecture - 1.1
Poller Type - CMD.php
Server Info - Linux 2.6.17.14-0.4.x86.i686.cmov
Web Server - Apache/2.0.59 (rPath)
PHP - 4.3.11

Can anyone help ??

Thanks

Thanks for your detailed explaination. The THold functions work really well because of the functionality of being able to raise alarms only after X many failures or threshold breaches - I suppose it is just a combination of that functionality with the port/SNMP/ICMP requests that are used in Manage.

Excellent set of tools though!

DAP, I had this problem too.

Remove the reference to threshold in config.php to prevent it from loading.

Edit check.php and remove / comment out the line that says

Code: Select all

include_once($config["base_path"] . "/plugins/thold/thold-functions.php");

Clear / rebuild poller cache.

Give it a try and let me know. I didn't have time yesterday to sit down and try to debug it.

UPDATE: This looks like it's an issue with the Data Template "SNMP - Running Process Info". If I change the name of this template in the list.php file, the error above disappears. However, I am still NOT able to monitor any ports, even when using the correct name for the template.

Failing that, the below snippet taken from list.php may point in the right direction

while ($row3 = mysql_fetch_array($result3, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
?>
<input type='checkbox' style='margin: 0px;' name='chk2_<?php $pos=strripos($row3['name_cache'],"process - ")+10; $str=substr($row3['name_cache'],$pos); print $str;?>'<?php
for ($m=0;$m<count($o);$m++) {
if ($str == $o[$m]) {
print " checked";
}
}
?>
><?php print $str;
print "</select><br>";

Does anyone else have this issue ??? Would appreciate any help anyone can give.

Relative to the logger function causing issues, you need to rename all occurances of logger in check.php to manage_logger and you should be ok again.

TheWitness

ps. There is a cross plugin compatibility issue that I will be working with Gilles on in the month or so to come.

[mcutting]

The Witness,

Thanks for the reply, although I am already using the modified check.php that appears on this topic to make it compatible with PA 1.1. All the instances have already been changed. Any other suggestions ?

Thanks

[TheWitness]

mcutting,

I can't answer the question right now. You will have to lean on Gilles for the time being. I am re-writing some of the code for work with the standard form's engine that I have developed in Cacti in order to make it a little more readable for me. Until I have done that and re-released Gilles code, I can't affort too much time on supporting code that I barely understand.

[mcutting]

No problem - I fully understand the situation.

Gilles - where are you ?? Can you help ?

Thanks !
