How to enable editor for webbrowse management.

[smartech1]

Hi........All,

What a fantastic plugin it is Weathermap. Thanks to Mr.Hoowie and his efforts.

Thanks to all here who are dedicated themselves and become inpiration to new comer like me.

I am new user ,but trying hard to work and learn on cacti.

I have installed Weathermap and found tab in my cacti screen ok.

But I am confused about how to install Editor and use it in Web based management.

I am not little comfort to 2nd option of configuration as i am new to this.

Could anybody tell me how do i enable browser based editor and how to add my network tools??

will Weathermap shows UP/Down status of individual interface or only host status?? Actually i could see only my device status using Monitor plugin. but can i make it monitor individual link interface on that device to show Up/Down status of each interface??



Thanks all

Yes, you can configure Cacti to show up/down information, as was just recently discussed in a couple threads down from this one.

Thanks friend,

I tried to browse, http://my servername/plugins/weathermap/editor.php

Any configrations need to be set before using it??

Could you please let me know??

no, unless that's not the actual path to weathermap. You do know where you installed Cacti, right?

Hi ,

No my friend,

Actually today i configured as per the guidelines in Weathermap online documentation .

I did : cp editor-config.php-dist editor-config.php
and then changed the configuration in editor-config.php.

Please have a look at my editor-config.php .


<?php
// CHANGE: Uncomment one of the lines below and change it to point to the base directory


// of your cacti install to enable cacti support in the editor

// $cacti_base = 'C:/XAMPP/xampp/htdocs/cacti';

$cacti_base = "/usr/local/cacti-0.8.6i/";


if(is_dir($cacti_base))

{

// include the cacti-config, so we know about the database
include_once($cacti_base."/include/config.php");

//
CHANGE: this to be the URL of the base of your Cacti install
// it MUST end with a / character!

$config['base_url']='http://myservername/';
}



// where to look for config files. The directory must be readable
// AND writable by whatever user your webserver runs as.

// this name is correct if you are using the Cacti plugin


//
// NOTE: You MIGHT need to use the full path to the configs folder here,
// (it seems to depend on the PHP or OS version)

$mapdir= $cacti_base.'/plugins/weathermap/configs/'; $mapdir='configs';


?>


My cacti is stored in /usr/local/cacti-0.8.6i/ and in ' http://myservername/' actually i do type my webserver name itself, i didn't mentioned original as of security issue. thats all.


i have created a user called cactiuser for my cacti. For same i used follwoing commands.

chown cactiuser configs
chmod 777 configs


But when i browse http://myservername/plugins/weathermap/editor.php it says done, but displays nothing.


Please suggest.

Thanks a lot for your patience.
