Release v0.3a Update 2 fixes a problem with the link back into cacti. It was not working for all reports except the 2x2 columnar report format.

It also contains a cosmetic change for the foorter, where it displayed a "-" when no extra footer text was entered in the settings

I installed the new version(nmidCreatePDF_v0.3a2.tgz) today, my Cacti version is 0.87b, I have two question:
1.I got a PDF file but have no graph show there, it's "error opening the file: tmp/791.png", I try to use "create_image.php 791 0 1237298394 1237384794 100 800 > tmp/791.png " to create a graph by manual, it's succeed, and it can be show in IE, Could you please help me to check it?

2.I can used "submit" button in the first page(graph_view.php), but if I click my graph going to second page(graph.php), I can see that check box only, and the submit button missed. Is it by design?

Thanks
Miller

is the tmp dir writeable by apache ? try

Code: Select all

cd /path/to/cacti/plugins/nmidCreatePDF
chown root.apache tmp/
chmod 665 tmp/

it may be that it is wwwrun in your case instead of apache ...

If you extract the plugin with

Code: Select all

tar -xzvpf nmidCreatePDF_v0.3a2.tgz

it should set the permissions correctly ( -p does that ...)

It is by design. If you look at the roadmap for v0.4 you will see that it will be included there ( Feature #26 )

I got the following error when I print in PDF.

FPDF error: Incorrect orientation:

How can I proceed.

Thanks

phalek · Post by **phalek** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 1:42 pm

What are your settings for "Page Orientation" in the NMID settings tab ? and what settings did you use for "Page Size" and "Graph Format" ?

rootfive · Post by **rootfive** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 2:11 pm

It is in Portrait orientation. After I change other orientation and save it, it works like a charm

.

Thanks for the great code. I wish it can send email to a particular address at schedule interval for a particular graph.

Hi Miller,

Delete all files in the tmp dir and retry it. the file mentioned might be a "left-over" with wrong permissions set...

milleryuan · Post by **milleryuan** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 2:17 pm

Hi, Phalek
I have two or more php version in my system, default is 4.2, looks like nmidCreatePDF will use system default one, so I got a invalid png file in tmp folder, I changed system php version to 5.2, it work well now.

I set php5.2 bin path in cacti, and run phpinfo in the apache, php version is right, why nmidCreatePDF used old version? is possible to custom this path?

Thanks for your help.
Miller

hm, there's actually a system call to the createimage php file, but that just says "php createimage.php" (or something like that). So it actually uses the php that's in the PATH variable, which might be 4.x in your case.

I'll add an option to add the complete path to the php binary in the next update

I had a similar issue with this when trying to install. Go into setup.php, and comment out the line referred to in the error message.

It'll work fine after that.

phalek · Post by **phalek** » Mon Apr 06, 2009 1:22 am

oh yeah, i managed to have the wrong line of code in there (copy&paste error

. I'll update that with v0.3b
