Manage Plugin 0.6.2 for monitoring networks, servers...

[lex8009]

Seems that the uptime being displayed does not always match with what's in the device. For example I've a cisco 2610 that's been up for more than 2 yrs, but it's displaying the uptime as 413 days 13 hrs. I've tried snmp (uptime chk) and (sysdesc chk) but didn't make a difference.

Anyone experiencing the same problem?

cacti 0.8.6h
manage 0.3.2

Yes I have seen this. On mine it works fine on my IOS devices but my 6500 and 4000 series Cisco Catalyst switches running CatOS reports back the wrong uptime. My IOS ones include 2950, 3500Xl, 3550, 3560, 3750 seem to work.

I'm not sure if this is by design or a bug, but if I use the url localhost/graph_view.php (using guest acct), and then tried to access the manage tab, it comes back with a cacti login prompt. In the user setting, the "use manage" chkbox is checked. Or is there another setting that was missed?

I think this is a good way to allow non admin to view the status of each device and it allows to view the graphs when the user selects a device.

hi,

nice plugin to work with.....as of now all the users are able to view/change manage access to this plugin.....can u change it to the other plugins like only the admin has view/change access and other users have only view manage...

I need alittle help?? This installs just a like any other plugin ?? Well, I extracted the latest manage-0.3.2 and then moved it to my plugins folder to a folder called manage. I added the $plugins[] = 'manage'; line to my config.php file and when I open cacti i get the first error of not being able to see manage_host table. I look in my cactidb DB and there are no manage tables?? What am I doing wrong to get this installed to where i get the setup to work and create all tables ??

Thanks

Am running LInux, Cacti H, MySQL 4.1.5....

All plugins should create its tabels when plugin installed.
If not try to maual run manage-0.1.sql
Take also a look in your logfile.

[spoonman]

I found the error, in tryint to manually run the import manage-0.1.sql fle is failed at this line.....

INSERT INTO settings VALUES ('manage_date', '0'));

I took out the extra ) and it worked!!! I didnt' run it manually I just let cacti do it. Thanks..... That file was included in the latest zip file....maybe giles needs to check on it and remove that error/// or it was an error for me and my version of Mysql 4.1.5 Standard

Thanks

The manage plugin is working great however I am getting out of the blue e-mails about device port being up. When I check, they never went down and have been up for some time.

I have also found the uptime issue with my CAT 4000 switches. I came in one morning and had e-mails indicating the CAT 4000 switches had rebooted. In checking the switches, they did not.

Also helpful hint, If you get a very large number of devices (we have 144 currently in manage) make sure you change you php settings to allow the poller to run more than 30 seconds or you will not get port availability. I am running on a Win2K3 server with PHP 4.

Question about the Host up down email events?? How does the realert portion work?? I have a host down testing this manage plugin, using snmp uptime check, I got an email letting me know it was down?? Shoud it re alert?? I havent gotten one?? Does it work off the Thold alerting settings? Thanks

[SteveIs4Cacti]

If you set a device to monitor a port, say 22 for ssh, and the device went down, I would alert for the port going down and when it was back up. You can change in the settings on what to alert for such as up/down down down/reboot, etc. You can also set a repeat setting after a certain number of poller runs.

Hi,

uptim counter is 32bit = 491 days then it wraps arround.
Wrote a patch to ignore this and its working fine - you can find this in the forum at uptime-plugin.

Hi,

whats wrong with this settup:
- we have one php version in /usr/bin (php v4) and this is in the global search path
- we have another version php5 in /software/php5.
- calling check-manage.php with php4 all devices are responding
- calling check-manage.php with php5 some devices unsing snmp v3 do not responde. Strange to this is that some other snmp-v3 hosts are responding.
- makeing a test php-script using the php-snmp_get function works fine, also using the cacti-function for snmpget is working fine.
So only some calls from the check-manage function do not work. I checked the parameter for this hosts but all seems correct.
Has anyone an idea?
