How to add working URL:s to Graphs in cacti.

Post by Frater »

Hello.

I have been looking for a way to add external links for hosts in cacti for a while. Apparently there is no built in function for this, has anyone figured out a clever way around this?

In my case I would like to add the URL:s to the Insight manager agent on each HP server that i graph health stats from. That way I can easily go from a worrisome graph and check the actual info on the server.

Cheers!

it isn't exactly in cacti, but what i've found is a better solution is to just make stand alone pages that link to the cacti images, that way you can configure whatever you want on it.

I would like this option as well. AFAIK, this is not implemented yet. Might be placed into the Device Edit Screen as a generic URL (e.g. http://what/you/like/<hostname>) and displayed in the header of each graph? Worth a feature request?

I my opinion it is definitely a feature worth requesting.
Any forum OP keen on moving this thread to Requests, or should I post a new thread in there?

I rather see this submitted into the bug system as a feature request.
