Hi Reinhard

many thanks for this new version of the plugin. File deletion done by the poller is a great idea !

BTB: Compatibility with 087 was not yet verified

Has anyone gotten this new code to work with 0.8.7? It installs just fine, and when i click on the item from the console, it detects the un-used RRD files and allows me to select them for deletion, but the delete does not appear to get called from the poller. I have tried deleting the plugin and re-installing it but that doesnt work. It worked prior to upgrading to 0.8.7, but now it no longer works.

I know that Gandolf said that the functionality had not been verified under 0.8.7, but i was wondering if anyone else had gotten this to work.

thanks

p.s. Gandolf, for some reason, even though i have the latest code, Jimmy's update plugin always says that this plugin needs updating. But then again, so does Zond...

Reinhard,

Did you rely on the poller_commands to accomplish this? If so, we have to patch 0.8.7. We can discuss at Saturday's Conference Call.

Which version is shown? I remember, there once was some 1.x or the like. And that's obviously higher than 0.32. You may delete the appropriate line from the update table to get rid of it

Sorry for missing this. I'm using the poller_bottom hook. Did not yet find time to even install 087+PIA
BTB: My son's alright by now.

just change include("./include/config.php"); with include("./include/global.php"); in rrdmove.php

apperrault · Post by **apperrault** » Mon Nov 19, 2007 11:03 am

I have that in my rrdmove.php, and the files do not actually get deleted. I believe that Gandolf is working on correcting this problem.

Is there any update on this plugin?

thanks

Hi

same here with 0.8.7a + PIA 1.4

Strange enough, it works for me (0.8.7a. PIA 1.3)

Of course, web server needs rw access to files.

Hi

with Reinhard's plugin, it seems not :

file delete is done by the poller
This avoids permission errors or security issues.
The same instance that creates rrd files, the poller,
will be used for deletion as well.

And it used to work with Cacti 0.8.6j + PIA 1.1

Alice · Post by **Alice** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 3:42 am

Yes, I am talking about that version, with global.php instead of config.php, and that's the only mod i've made.

Yes, sorry, I was wrong about the web server permissions.
The user that runs the poller must have RW access to files.

BUT I have PIA 1.3, not 1.4

I can confirm that this also works for me.

That is so odd. It isn't working for me. I am running the plugin version from the SVN, which appears to have been updated yesterday. I am still running 0.8.7 (patched) and PIA 1.3. I guess i should updated to 0.8.7a and PIA 1.4 and see if i still have problems.

I will let you know
