Aggregate, now at V0.66

[gandalf]

Gandolf,

I have reviewed the Aggregate plugin and am very happy with it. However, I need four features. I will write three, if you are ok with that, and then the last is a wish list item.

1) Ability to have the Legend prefixed with the |query_XXX| from the Graph Title Optionally rather than the Legend text from the source graph's legend.

This is applicable when you have multiple graphs with the same name legend for each and the distinguishing information about the item is in the title's query_* field and the hostname has no relevance.

Now, that |query_*| is supported for LEGEND, it's a clear must to have this feature.

2) Ability to use Host Description as a Prefix in the Legend instead of Hostname.

For this I see a dropdown with the following options: None, Hostname, Description, and possible a "do_hook" function .

Why not. In our installation it won't be used so I did not think of it, initially.

3) When you hit save, goto the Graph in Debug Mode to save me fiddling with the Filters to go find it.

That's a good one! Should have included it from the very start.

4) Allow altering the Graph In place using the Wizard (That's the wish list item).

Wizard? Who should that be apart from me?
What are you aiming at, exactly?
And you know, the plugin is under SVN control at cacti.net. So it's up to you to do it at any time.

Personally, I'd like at add the "Totalling" stuff in the future. But with the current todo list, this will be far in the future. Just going to fix the presentation for FSLC, then SYSTEMS fair, Linux Show at Essen and finally 2.CCC.eu. Ahh, I left documentation out, how come?

I have just installed the Aggregate v0.63 plugin and I get this error message :
Notice: Undefined index: cdef.php: in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\lib\functions.php on line 1422

any ideas

[gandalf]

Please elaborate each of the steps you made and the exact circumstances of that error.

Hi, I really like the aggregate plugin. I notice after creating an aggregate graph of sub-interfaces, if I modify the "graph template" for the original graphs that the aggregate was created from, the aggregate graph items get re-ordered. For only a few interfaces I can fix it but for graphs with many interfaces I have to recreate all aggregate graphs (and stop changing my graph templates).

Yes, I noticed this lately. But I did not yet find time to dig into it. My bad

There isn't much to eloborate on, I downloaded the plugin from this thread and extracted it to my plugins directory and edited my conf.php file like this:

$plugins = array();
$plugins[] = 'thold';
$plugins[] = 'discover';
$plugins[] = 'flowview';
$plugins[] = 'links';
$plugins[] = 'settings';
$plugins[] = 'ntop';
$plugins[] = 'update';
$plugins[] = 'weathermap';
$plugins[] = 'ReportIT';
$plugins[] = 'killspike';
$plugins[] = 'aggregate';
//$plugins[] = '

and as soon as i save the chages to conf.php and refresh my display I see the error messsage in my browser like this.

[gandalf]

Please do me a favour: deactivate the all other plugins, one by one, and tell me if that error disappears

Yes the error disappears when and only when I disable the Kill Spike plugin.

$plugins = array();

//$plugins[] = 'killspike';
$plugins[] = 'thold';
$plugins[] = 'discover';
$plugins[] = 'flowview';
$plugins[] = 'links';
$plugins[] = 'settings';
$plugins[] = 'ntop';
$plugins[] = 'update';
$plugins[] = 'weathermap';
$plugins[] = 'ReportIT';
$plugins[] = 'aggregate';
//$plugins[] = '

However i still don't see an aggregate option under the graph management dropdown.

[TheWitness]

Maybe a function collision. Good concept, bad plugin.

[gandalf]

Well, I never used KillSpike. Function collision is my first bet, as Larry said (that's why I've asked you to check the other plugins). But I will check this not earlier than beginning of October, I'm on vacation til then

OK, my brain is really hurting right now. I can't figure how to do the following: Combine two port channels into one graph with a single Inbound and Outbound.

Is there a quick HOW-TO on how to do this, which walks you through the steps from the very begginging? I must be missing something. I'm checking the box next both of my port channels, clicking on Create Aggregate Graph from action menu, select AREA/STACK Graph, select a Color Template (if I don't select a template, graphs don't get created btw), and then click YES to create it.

Helppppp

Anyone able to tell me why the padding is funky on the last STACK item of this graph?

[gandalf]

Padding is not changed by AGGREGATE. How are the spaces on the original graphs?
