Install cacti 1.0.2 with apt-get

[Axel90]

Paul,
I'm not sure but maybe there is something wrong with the Graph Templates.
When I add a switch and add the graphs for the interfaces, cacti produces that: (cacti1.jpg)
It doesn't name the graph "Gi1/0/7". Instead it is replaced with the description of the interface.
In my cacti 0.8.8 that works fine.
Do you think that's an issue of your package?

Maybe that's related to the other graph issue with the colours.

Do you think that's an issue of your package?

It may, but I don't think so as I don't do anything on that front in the package. However, I did see some other thread on the forum (or in a Debian bug) about snmp behavior having changed. Did you update anything else between your cacti 0.8.8h and now as well?

I suggest starting a new thread with a proper title.

Sync you template from the graph template menu.

[Axel90]

@Osiris How?

[Osiris]

Goto Graph Templates and look at action dropdown.

[Axel90]

ah, there!

that doesn't solve it, but it works when I recreate the single graphs of a device.

So I'm fine with that. Thanks.

Never mind me asking! Was a mistake of mine.



I installed the current cacti 1.1.13 on a parallel system so I can test everything. But it looks very good.

I will try the inplace upgrade from my current 0.8.8f to 1.1.13 soon.

Hey Paul,

I noticed that you created version 1.1.21. Works great!

Can you tell me when you intend to create 1.1.22 or above?

Don't want to rush, just informational.

Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback.

Can you tell me when you intend to create 1.1.22 or above?

I am automatically notified of new releases. If I spot that serious bugs are reported I hold off. If that is not the case I may follow or skip a release. I'll probably update at least once a month (no promises).

I'll probably update at least once a month (no promises).

That would be great.

I had issues with the cycle plugin, the new version of the plugin only works with >= 1.1.22 though.

[Axel90]

Hey Paul,

want to give you some feedback.

The upgrade to 1.1.25 went fine.

Everything is working, but there is one thing:

The legend font of all graphs became worse.

Do you know what could be the problem?

I don't recognize the issue (doesn't happen on my system). Maybe start a new tread with a good title.

To be honest, font handling may be slightly different in Debian/Ubuntu. It is still on my TODO list to check if I am doing the best I can.

[Axel90]

It's very strange because the other fonts of the graphs are the same.

I don't know why only the legend graph changed.

But It was good before, so it definitely has to do with the new cacti version.

Maybe it has to do with my Ubuntu 17.04.

Am I lacking fonts?


I mean it's not a big problem for now. I think the best thing to do is waiting for a new version in your repo. And hope everything is normal again.

And maybe you figure something out in the meanwhile.

[Axel90]

Hey Paul,

just installed your new version.

The upgrade process worked fine, as always!

I want to give you an update to the fonts:

The headline is now bold; the axis font, too.

Additionally, the axis font changed.

But that's totally okay!

But the legend font is still lousy; it's so hard to read.

Do you have any idea / hint / suggestion?

I started a new thread but don't get any reply.

I don't know what I can do..

[paulgevers]

I see a font option in the settings [http://localhost/cacti/settings.php?tab=visual]. Have you tried playing with that? If you go for the theme option, have you tried switching themes? Which theme are you using?

[Axel90]

Interesting!
I tested various things.

I'm using the modern theme, and my Font Selection Method is Theme.

When I choose another theme, for example dark, there isn't any difference in the graphs.

However, when I change the Font Selection Method to System and leave all options default (don't define anything), the graphs and legend font are good. They are as they are supposed to be.

So there is definitely an issue with the Font Selection Method "Theme"

(but first since the update; 1.1.21 was fine)

Something changed.

But I'm okay now, since it's okay with "System"

But it's strange anyway, maybe you find something out for the next version.
