Cacti 0.8.6i Released

Post by raX »

As a continued commitment to support the ever growing Cacti userbase, version 0.8.6i has been released for public consumption. This version fixes a whole slew of bugs and introduces some new features as well (of course! ;-)). I am sure that most of you will welcome the new system log, user log, poller cache, and SNMP cache viewers. This is probably long overdue for those of you with large installations.

Be sure to read the release notes for even more highlights and grab a copy over at the downloads page.

I got new cacti running without any problem.
But 1 min average is not included in default templates, graphs are still 5 min ave.
Also I need guidance on polling data for EIGRP and MPLS, and plot them, mostly these are IPs which I want to display on graph, i dont have idea how to do it how to plot more than 1 IPs vs time, That too 1 min ave.


Thanks

Alice,

Ian experienced problems building with some ancient distros, and I have not been able to get time to fix that yet. It will have to be early next week provided I get time this weekend on the server in question (RH9).

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
