User-Permission on Tools (V0.2) Plugin?

[Geotrupus]

Hi all,

my question is, if it is possible to grant access on the 'Tools' plugin for users without console permissions. I didn´t find a way to assign the permissions within the user-management. Especially the manual SNMP-Walk would be great benfit for some network-admins within our organisation. Thanks in advance and greetings

Might be able to do somthing with superlinks ? I know they did somthing with syslog and superlinks that may be your answer.

The permission it requires is #8, which is 'Console Access'...

In fact, if you take the tools.php, and use it as a SuperLinks content page, then it seems to nearly work OK. With a little tweaking it'd probably work, and you could give it to specific users then.

Here you go. This one works with SuperLinks, if you call it tools.php and put it in the content/ folder of superlinks.

Clearly I'm bored at work today

Great - Thanks a lot for the quick reply.

in general it works now, even if Superlinks is not working smoothly so far. I see only a broken tab and when trying to add the link the errors appear:

By clicking the 'broken' tab, at least the tools-plugin starts...

Running cacti 0.8.6.h on a w2k3 server. PHP 4.3.11 (GD lib enabled with PNG and Freetype support). Any idea what went wrong?

Thanks again

Didn't you get a big red box warning you that the permissions were wrong on the tab_images directory? Hmm, that's a bug.

Make sure that the webserver user (IWAM_blah? IUSR_blah? Been a while since I used IIS) can write to plugins/superlinks/tab_images/ so it can create the images for the tabs. Then edit the settings for the page you added and click save, just to make it generate a new image set.

[Geotrupus]

Big thanks again - That´s it!

Working fine now. One slight issue left: when doing a SNMP-Walk as well as checking the services within the tools-plugin all results are fine but below the tabs a line with the following error-message appears:

Notice: Undefined index: superlinks.php:snmpwalk in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\lib\functions.php on line 1357

or

Notice: Undefined index: superlinks.php:servicecheck in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\lib\functions.php on line 1357

Any idea?

Thank you very much and regards

This is what you get for bending one thing into another unfortunately. That's cacti complaining that the 'action' parameters in the URL aren't known to it. I didn't get that, oddly. Anyway if you search & replace 'action' for 'fish' or something else in tools.php, then it should fix it (haven't tried that myself).

Edit: That search/replace worked for me.

[Geotrupus]

Final status reached!

all working now very fine.

Howie, thank you very very much for the fantastic support!
