Cacti Timezone Support

[thuck]

TheWitness; when you say next release are you talking about the 0.8.8?

Thanks

Its all wraped into the next release and functional. Its a big change though.

Can you tell us a bit more about that? Will a user be able to specify a timezone in user settings and have the graphs presented in the local time?

When will this be released (approximately)? Is there need for testing this? We are currently setting up a test server on which we could do so.

use ini_set for selecting your timezone.
replace "date..." with "@date..." in your include/global***.php files

this fixed the same problem at my end..

sounds like it will affect all users tho, is per host timezone i am after.

I too am curious about which "next version" it is rolled into. We are currently running 0.8.7.e. The way that we had been getting around this was :

Code: Select all

We are in EST (Eastern time zone) and we have 1 main Cacti instance which pulls stats from servers that we monitor in other time zones. Users at those remote locations connect to a instance of Cacti that we have created just for them by copying the Cacti directory, then symbolically linking the rras for the graphs to the rras in the main instance, and then modifying the apache hosts file to point them to the correct instance. We then create a custom RRDTOOL script for each instance and call it in the "RRDTool Binary Path" setting box. For example, our file for a server in Seattle uses this file called rrdtool-pst:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
TZ="PST8PDT" /usr/bin/rrdtool "$@"


We then have three other files called, rrdtool-cst (Central time), rrdtool-hst (Hawaii), and rrdtool-mst (Mountain).

For some reason, the most recent instance that we tried to make is failing during browsing (not sure if that is based on a Cacti update, plug-ins we have installed, mysql, etc)
